'Very, very likely' Webber will stay at Red Bull

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed it is "very, very likely" Mark Webber will stay at his team in 2012.

Webber has hinted that he is keen to extend his rolling contract by at least another year, but so far negotiations have yet to take place. Speaking on Servus TV, however, Horner made it quite clear that a renewel is on the cards.

"Well, that's very, very likely," he said. "We have agreed to sit down a bit later and then focus on next year."

Lewis Hamilton has been linked to Red Bull in recent weeks after he was spotted talking to Horner at the Canadian Grand Prix. Since then both sides have played down the speculation and Horner hinted on Servus TV that the McLaren driver might not fit in alongside reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel.

"I really don't think blue is his colour," Horner said. "For Red Bull, the most important thing is the harmony."
