Webber's time at red bull & also the age of F1 drivers

[the seeker]

Here's a theory to do with webber at red bull.... The car have both had great success over the last 3 seasons one more than the other but both well up there and its right up there this season too. Is it possible red bull have not release as some say an underperforming webber from the contract as he "know's the secret" to why the car has perform so well. He knows whatever it is that all the other teams have missed and if he left the team he could very well take that information with him ? Is it better to keep him and keep him quiet ?? Either way he still is a top lad and I really would like to see him take the title before he leaves f1. On that subject of retirement and age are the drivers getting to young? Should you have to be over 25 to take an f1 seat. You have more to loose the older you get therefore you tend to think more about crashing into a corner or how to read a race I know the lads start karting at like 4 yrs old now but would it be better to have an age to start your f1 career ? Just a thought for this afternoon.

But back to Webber.

There are lot of conspiracy theories surrounding him and Red Bull in general. From the changing ride height, flexi wings, special Vettel only engine maps. This weekend there were more rumours sparked by Mark having yet another KERS failure and poor start. My own theory is that Newey cars are designed to with little compromise to the engine, cooling and driver. With Webber being nearly 20kg heavier and taller, Vettel ‘fits’ the car better not least in terms of ballast.

It could be that Mark is still on the team to keep him quiet, but both Horner and Newey really seem to value what he brings to the team over and above his role on a race weekend. Despite Helmut Marko!

Is that he's an alright steerer and probably not too expensive just too easy to believe?
