Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has denied rumours that the team is considering signing Kimi Raikkonen as Mark Webber's replacement for the 2011 season.
According to reports, Webber is set to quit F1 at the end of this year's Championship, leaving a place open at Red Bull. However, that seat won't be open for long as already the team is looking to Raikkonen to fill it.
Mateschitz, though, says this is not true.
"This is nothing more than pure speculation," Mateschitz told Autosport. "We do not know what Kimi intends to do in one year. We have a very good relationship which makes room for speculations.
"But to tell you now Kimi will be racing for us in 2011 is not serious. If Webber provides top performances this year we will not reward him by giving his cockpit to Raikkonen."
