Woops I'm late to the ball.
This is the first I heard of Ralf's commenting.
Look back, way back in my post list, I have asked in the past when this jellyhead will shut up.
Who is asking Ralf these questions anyway? I have a suspicion that BILD likes him.
Other than that, what, is he just calling up magazines and giving them unsolicited comments and opinions on F1 stuff, leaving them on their answering machines because the reporters have call display and don't pick up?
I mean seriously, what's with this tool?

Webber set to get new Red Bull deal

Mark Webber is set to be handed a fresh deal to stay with Red Bull Racing in 2010, with his team confirming that it plans to open contract talks with the Australian imminently.

With huge interest surrounding Webber following his maiden victory in the German Grand Prix, and on the back of an impressive first half to the campaign, Red Bull has set its sights on retaining him at least one more year.

Team principal Christian Horner said that talks would open soon with Webber, with the hope being that a deal can be put together to keep him alongside Sebastian Vettel in 2010.

"Mark is doing a great job and he is a great team player," Horner told AUTOSPORT. "We have got a very good balance in the team and we will get around to talking to him about his contract shortly, but he is a very valued member of the team."

Although Webber is the man of the moment, and could yet end the season as world champion, his contract talks are unlikely to be totally straightforward.

Red Bull is under intense pressure to reduce its costs, having already made technical director Geoff Willis redundant, and it may need to put a squeeze on the amount it could pay Webber in 2010.

Furthermore, while Webber would prefer a lengthy deal that could keep him tied to Red Bull until the end of his career, the team is believed to favour a shorter contract.

But with the partnership yielding great results at the moment, and all eyes on beating Brawn GP to the championship, both sides may be willing to compromise in order to secure a deal.

Webber is a great driver and has proven his worth over the years, and now he is getting back to his best form. Red Bull would be mad not try to get him stay (which he wants to do).

Yup, I think that first became apparent to me back in 2000. Although I had known of Webber from his days flipping the Mercedes at Le Mans or battling in the FIA GT Championship, witnessing his race long battle with Darren Manning in the soaking wet F3000 race on Silverstone showed his class.

I'm glad he's starting to get his just rewards for all those years of financial struggle and bad luck

I remember watching Webber in the Jaguar nearly taking pole in Brazil in 2003 and thinking this guy is good. It has taken a long time for Webber to finally produce the goods but hopefully he can stay at Red Bull for a few years to come and collect more poles & wins.

Edit: And as far as Ralf Schumacher's comments go, he should keep his mouth firmly shut.

lol I loved his swipe in the press conference.

"there has always been some people in Australia who said this day would never come, so hello to them."

Yeah that was a nice touch.

I could not agree more. I hate to say It, but modern day race cars are ugly.

I agree and disagree. While the cars from the lat 90's are probably the best looking sports cars ever made, I still think today's cars are beautiful too.

I'm sorry but this years cars are ugly. The front wing is to big, the rear wing is to small, the noses look stupid etc. and BMW is by far the worst.
