Mark Webber says his relationship with former teammate Sebastian Vettel is vastly different now the Australian has left Formula 1.

Webber and Vettel had a rocky relationship during their five-year stint as team-mates at Red Bull Racing, the finer details of which have been exposed in Webber's recently-released tell-all book.

However, with Webber having now moved on from Formula 1 to Porsche's sportscar programme, and Vettel now out of the Red Bull system and driving for Ferrari, Webber says the pair now enjoy a significantly improved personal relationship.

"Irrespective of whether he drives for Red Bull or not, I think the relationship would have taken a big positive turn," he told Motorsport.com.

"We were going for each other's territory at the time at Red Bull, so it wasn't an easy situation to handle.

"We learnt a huge amount about ourselves, me at the end of my career and Seb at the start of his. Things moved on very fast inside that relationship, in terms of how we used to compete against each other.

"Now I'm out of Formula 1, and things continue to change fast. I don't have many enemies in my life, if any at all. We have a great deal of respect for each other.

"We ultimately did while we were racing against each other too, but probably a bit more now."

Mateschitz, Vettel had warning

Given the controversial nature of his time with Red BullRacing, particularly from 2010 onwards, Webber admits that he did speak to both Vettel, and Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz in the lead-up to the book release to give them some insight into what to expect.

He did not, however, speak to Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner.

"I spoke to Seb, I spoke to Dietrich," he said.

"The book was really a true reflection of how I felt at the time, at what went on for those few years in my Formula 1 career. It's not a reflection of Red Bull itself, it's a reflection of Milton Keynes, the race team.

"It was a testing time for a lot of us, and that's why I had to go into detail to explain the whole lot."

Not a fan of doing a book

Webber also says that he wasn't necessarily in favour of writing a controversial book, but that he wound up enjoying telling the stories from his early career, and the tough road he took to make it to F1.

"I wasn't a massive fan of doing [the book] initially," he admitted.

"It was more enjoyable to put the early years down, the try and explain – even to myself – the drive and determination it took to get through those early years.

"It's only when you look back you go 'wow, we really did tick a few boxes', and we're proud of that. That's been the biggest surprise for people, to know how tough it was to get through that period of my career.

"It was really rewarding to get that down."

Renault has dropped a firm hint that its long-term plans are not in line with Red Bull's any more, but says it intends to honour its contract with the Milton Keynes-based team for next year.

The French car manufacturer has been evaluating a new approach to Formula 1 after believing that it was not maximising the marketing benefits of its works relationship with Red Bull.

And its impetus for change has only grown on the back of a disappointing first half of the campaign and some intense criticism from Red Bull about its lack of progress.

That reached a peak at the Austrian Grand Prix when Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz said Renault had destroyed his company's enjoyment and motivation in F1.

Future plans still open

Renault is edging closer a move to buy the Lotus team which, if it happens, will result in the Enstone-based outfit being rebranded for 2017.

But Renault F1 managing director Cyril Abiteboul has made clear that no decision has been made yet.

“The status is unfortunately not very sexy to hear,” he told Motorsport.com about the results of its future evaulation project. “It is that we continue to work and look at options.

“Our CEO Carlos Ghosn was fairly clear at the Formula E [race in London] that in F1 we are not pleased with what we have now, both from a performance perspective but also from a marketing perspective. So we continue to look at options.”

However, Abiteboul is adamant on one thing: that what is being discussed longer term will not impact on the current contracts it has with Red Bull or Toro Rosso for next year.

This comes despite mounting suggestions that Red Bull chiefs are trying to see if there is a way it can escape the final year of its contract with Renault – especially if a tie-up with Lotus affects its status as its 'works' team.

“We have binding contracts until the end of 2016, that is the starting point. We are making plans to honour those contracts,” he said.

“The solutions that we are developing are more for 2017 than 2016, but again if 2016 has to be a transition year to 2017 then we will have to develop something. We continue to work. But we are much more advanced in our desire to continue to be in F1.”

Different path to Red Bull

Abiteboul says that Renault's priority is now doing what is best for its long term future – which has put it in direct conflict with Red Bull's ambitions to get back to the front as soon as possible.

“I don't think we should jeopardise 2017 in order to rush something for 2016,” he said. “There is no rush. It is a long term game.

“But that [approach] is different to brands like Red Bull who have been in the sport for just a couple of years now, and who are more sponsors of the sport rather than constructors in the sport.

“Maybe that [long term focus] is also what is unsatisfying to Red Bull, who like to have success yesterday.

“I understand that, but on our side we don't look at it that way. And maybe that is one of the reasons why it is difficult to align [our targets] at this point of time with Red Bull. But we are thinking long term.”

F1 plans must change

Although a withdrawal from grand prix racing still cannot be completely ruled out, Abiteboul has said that Renault's chiefs agree that it cannot continue with the same approach to F1 it has right now.

He says that the way its partnership with Red Bull works is no longer justifiable: because it does not gain enough from success and it is hurt too much when things go wrong.

“What you need to make sure is that the gains are bigger than the risks and the negativity associated with that,” he said.

“That is the reason why we need to change what we are doing now, because right now the balance between the gain and the loss, financial but also reputational, is not good enough. This is what we need to reference.

“Anything we do in the future in F1 will be with much more control. In my opinion, the difficulty of the decision we have to make is to balance exactly a lot of factors.

“We cannot work in isolation, we need to work in partnerships, but also be in control. This is the control and risk sharing that must be measured, apportioned and decided.”

Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone expects Renault to decide this week on whether or not it takes over the Lotus team.

Discussions have been ongoing for some time, and it is understood that Renault boss Carlos Ghosn will make the final call after reviewing the options.

The situation is complicated by the fact that much of the team's debt represents loans from its main shareholder, the Genii Group.

Sources suggest that one scenario is that Renault could enter as a new team, using the Enstone facility and staff, but not taking over the actual company that began life as Toleman in 1981, and subsequently became Benetton, Renault and Lotus.

This would appear to gel with the fact that the FIA deadline for interest in a future F1 entry was extended to the end of this week – presumably to coincide with the timing of the Ghosn decision.

Lotus meanwhile is under severe pressure to resolve its financial issues.

In Hungary, Pirelli did not release its tyres until just 50 minutes before FP1 after a late payment issue was addressed.

"We're gradually getting things sorted out," Ecclestone told Motorsport.com. "By this week we'll know which way we're going.

"Hopefully then we'll know whether Renault are going to take them over, or what's going to happen."

Asked if there was a plan B if Renault decided against it, he said: "Semi. I think we've got it more or less under control."

Ecclestone also confirmed that a Renault takeover would not automatically trigger extra payments based on its past performance and historical record, but added that as a manufacturer there is potential to earn more based on future results than if the team remains in private hands.

"They've got to do what everyone else is doing. They're buying a team, they're taking over a team.

"If you took a team over you'd be entitled, except that they are a manufacturer so we are looking after them a bit differently. Renault would come off better than if a private person did it as they're a manufacturer."

Renault closing on Lotus buyout decision

 

 

 

Renault is close to making a final decision on whether it will set up its own works team by buying the existing Lotus outfit.

 

Renault's F1 future has been in doubt since the start of the year after its relationship with current customers Red Bull and Toro Rosso became increasingly frayed on the back of poor results. Buying a team and setting up a works outfit has been under consideration for some time and the French manufacturer is hoping to announce its future plans in the second half of the year.
