Webber F1 bound for 2002?
Benetton test driver Mark Webber has said he could be in Formula One next year as Flavio Briatore has promised to do all he can to find him a drive.
Webber told The Financial Times: "I would like to believe that my chances (to race in F1 in 2002) are 70 per cent. I saw Briatore at the weekend and he told me, 'we would like to race you in F1 next year. It's not easy, but we will try to find you a seat'."
The Australian added: "You never know what could happen next year. I could be in a Minardi. It depends on what's bolted to the back of the chassis."
