Formula one: Webber urged to join Ferrari

SYDNEY: Former world champion Alan Jones urged Australian compatriot Mark Webber to leave Red Bull and join Ferrari, saying it would inject a ‘breath of fresh air’ into his career despite his age. With Felipe Massa not performing upto expectations, speculation has linked Webber to a Ferrari seat alongside two-time world champion Fernando Alonso at regular intervals over the last few seasons and Jones said it was something every Formula One driver craved. “Webber has already done one of the two things that most Formula One drivers would like to do, and that’s to win Monaco, the other one is to drive for Ferrari,” said the Australian. “I’m sure he’d have a look at it. It’s very prestigious and something really good to have on your CV.”
