Christian Horner and Daniel Ricciardo have denied Mark Webber’s suggestion the decision about his 2014 successor is already made.<\/p>\n

\"Christian-Horner-2\"Obviously referring to his young compatriot Ricciardo, Le Mans-bound Webber said just before Sunday’s Belgian grand prix that the news is “good for him and good for Australia”.<\/p>\n

Red Bull team boss Horner, however, hit back: “I have never known a driver sign another driver.<\/p>\n

“We have not yet made a decision,” he insisted, according to Express newspaper.<\/p>\n

The British broadcaster Sky said at Spa-Francorchamps on Sunday, however, that Ricciardo has indeed been signed, with the news to be announced within days.<\/p>\n

Horner also denied that.<\/p>\n

“We will take a couple of weeks to think things over,” he insisted.\u00a0 “It’s not a football transfer window, so no rush,” he told the BBC.<\/p>\n

24-year-old Ricciardo also denied Webber’s news.<\/p>\n

“He really said that?” the Toro Rosso driver was quoted on Sunday by Russia’s f1news.ru.<\/p>\n

“We all know Mark — he likes to make predictions, sometimes they are right, sometimes they’re not.<\/p>\n

“It’s nice that he supports me, so I take his words as a compliment.<\/p>\n

“But I’m sure if I had a contract, I would know about it.\u00a0 I don’t think we’re going to have to wait long for the team, but I still haven’t heard anything,” added Ricciardo.<\/p>\n
