This is great news IMO, time Webber gets a drive in a real team - Renault would be a nice opportunity for him to show what hes got.

Yeah. He was 5th on debut in a Minardi. That's something.

Yep would be great to see Webber with a car thats actually reliable and let him finally finish a race on the podium.


Then just as I wrote this I went to Formula1.com and find he's signed with Redbull not Renault. Oh well

I would of stayed with Williams, but its not up to Webber. there were rumors a few weeks back that Webber might be leaving and this just confirms that the rumors were right.

all the luck to him but Wurz isnt a bad driver either.
Appearantly it was up to Webber...

Frank Williams has revealed that Mark Webber chose not to re-sign with the Grove-based team because he had the prospect of a better offer elsewhere.

Williams caused surprise on Wednesday when it announced that test driver Alex Wurz will partner Nico Rosberg in its 2007 line-up.

The team had been expected to keep its current pairing of Webber and Rosberg.

Its option to keep Webber for ’07 expired on Monday, and Williams explained that it was not taken up because the Australian was holding out for an opportunity with another team and would not commit to his current employers.
