Mark Webber will be joined by Sebastian Vettel in 2009 at Red Bull Racing. The 21-year-old German will replace David Coulthard. The news hardly comes as a surprise as strong rumours already suggested Vettel as Coulthard's replacement after the Scotsman announced his retirement at the end of the season.

Massa aiming to concentrate on the future

Fresh from scoring his eighth point of the season at the British Grand Prix, Williams rookie Kazuki Nakajima is facing up to a circuit he is not overly familiar with this weekend in Hockenheim. However, the Japanese driver has been doing everything he can to prepare.

The tenth round of this year's world championship takes place on Sunday at the Hockenheimring, with Formula 1 visiting the famous track for the first time since 2006. Last week saw another unusual statistic, as it was the first time an official F1 test session had taken place at Hockenheim since the Nineties and only one member of the Ferrari test team had been present back then.

After finishing on the podium in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Honda driver Rubens Barrichello is still beaming and is hungry for even more points from this weekend's German Grand Prix.

Felipe Massa is in a constructive and optimistic mood ahead of the German Grand Prix despite his dismal British Grand Prix in which he failed to score any points and suffered several spins during the race.
