There's whispers that Porsche are coming to F1, maybe Webber is moving to help set up the team as well as drive the sportscars

Porsche won't move to formula one, it doesn't fit the marketing model. They're using Audi to push diesel hybrid and Porsche will promote petrol hybrid. There isn't the freedom in the tech regs to do that in f1.

Porsche were supposed to run the hydrogen car in garage 56 this year, saw it doing demonstration laps a few years ago, it certainly could move!

Also don't forget Webber used to be a sports car driver before formula 1!
