Webber: no team-mate worries

Williams has still to decide on a second driver following the Contracts Recognition Board's verdict which stopped Jenson Button making the switch from BAR. The team is to evaluate Nick Heidfeld and Anthony Davidson during tests at Jerez in early December, while current test driver Antonio Pizzonia is also being considered.

"I don't really care," said Webber. "I think I would have liked to have Jenson [Button], of course, because he's someone who has proven himself at the front in Formula 1. And that's what you always want - someone to compare yourself to at the highest level.

"But we also have drivers now which are testing over the winter that we know are very quick, they have proven themselves Anthony (Davidson) and Nick (Heidfeld) and Antonio, of course, have always been quick at certain stages.

"But it's about being quicker over the course of a season, so we will see what happens over the winter."

Webber also confirmed that he believes that his team-mate will come from one of three drivers mentioned above: "I'm very confident that one of those three guys will probably be my team-mate next year. I don't think there's anyone else coming out of the woodwork to upstage any of those three."
