Recovered from an operation to remove a forty centimetre rod from his once badly broken leg, Mark Webber on Tuesday said he is ready to hit the track in 2013.
"Now I’m back into it (training) properly," said the Australian.
But, back with Red Bull for another season, the 36-year-old also turned his attention to some recent criticism fired at him by the outspoken Dr Helmut Marko.
Marko, openly fonder of the team’s triple world champion Sebastian Vettel, aimed jibes at Webber’s alleged dips in form and struggles to cope with pressure.
Asked about that, Webber answered: "Look, everyone at this level has their own agendas and it’s been evident for a long time now that I’ve never been a part of Marko’s."
