Webber not moving to Toyota

Australian ends speculation of Japanese deal

It's not Toyota.'

With three short words, Mark Webber shot down speculation he was now tossing-up rejecting a solid BMW-Williams offer to join Ralf Schumacher over at Cologne.

The Australian is sure to have left Ford-owned Jaguar by '05.

Webber, 27, addressed Silverstone's post-GP party on Sunday night and insisted he definitely 'will not' race a red and white grand prix challenger next season.

''[My new employer is] not Toyota,'' he told interviewer Tony Jardine.

But there's still a chance Mark's manager, Renault's Flavio Briatore, might pull the Aussie to Enstone amid the apparent stalled negotiations over Jarno Trulli.

* F1's veteran doctor Prof. Sid Watkins said Bernie Ecclestone has got 'something to complain about' when he whines-on about F1 track Silverstone.

''One year [in my car],'' said Watkins, ''I managed one mile in four hours.

''But I think [the British GP] will stay on the calendar.''

Cant remember saying it, but I won't deny it. The Webber move will be known after Hungary, thats when the performance clause kicks in, but Im sure hes off to Williams, its like Ralf to Toyota, everyone knew it would happen, just waiting for official announcement.

A. Jarno won because of luck and the fact he started in the front, so he probably won't get his contract renewed.

B. If Webber were going to Toyota, It would be from bad to worse for him...

i dont think going to toyota would make him worse off. i think now with a techinical director that knows what hes doing toyota are a team on the up.

jag on the other hand seem to be stagnating if not going backwards.

Ralf is probably going to be a colossal waste of money.
