Moving on ... Media reports suggest Webber will leave F1 at the end of the season. Source: AP
Australian F1 driver Mark Webber has reportedly signed a new five-year contract to lead Porsche in their return to famous 24 hour endurance race Le Mans, although Porsche denies it is true.
Overnight Radio Le Mans announced that Mark Webber had put pen to paper making the deal official, meaning he would join Porsche in their assault on the World Endurance Championship.
However, AutoAction later quoted a Porsche spokesman as saying: "We will use some of our own drivers and add some external drivers - we have two cars and need six drivers next year. There is a test plan, and for sure Mark Webber is not part of them.
"Yes, we can have perhaps some Formula 1 drivers in the future, but it is not necessary."
Webber is expected to quit F1 at the end of the season, when his contract with Red Bull expires.
Rumours of a move to Porsche have been simmering for some time and ramped up following the controversial Malaysian Grand Prix.
German publication Bild reported that the Webber was is in talks with Porsche in the wake of Sebastian Vettel's ignorance of team orders by denying Webber victory at Sepang.
Webber was quick to deny any rumours before the start of this year's F1 season, but is yet to make comment on the latest announcement.
Porsche's new LMP1-class car will hit the test track later this year.
