Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner insists he is in no rush to sign Mark Webber to a new contract, despite suggestions over the weekend a new deal had been agreed.
Webber's management team were seen entering into discussions with Horner ahead of the 33-year-old Australian's Monaco GP triumph, which propelled him to the top of the drivers' championship standings, and later emerging with beaming smiles.
But Horner maintains Webber's future has yet to be discussed, although if that is the case, he has certainly done himself the power of good with his back-to-back wins over the past two weekends.
"The team and Mark are very relaxed about the situation," said Horner.
"He is an important member of the team and he is driving fantastically well at the moment. He enjoys driving here, and we enjoy having him.
"But we have not spoken and have no real interest in speaking with any of our drivers, so when the time gets to it, we will sit down and look at the paperwork."
