Mark Webber ''not losing sleep'' over racing rival and teammate

One driver about to take part in the upcoming F1 season has underlined his stance on his teammate: that he is not worried about facing a direct challenge from him.

Mark Webber spoke to the Guardian this week and emphasised how comfortable he is with the future battles he will no doubt wage against the rest of the pack - including fellow Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel.

He said that a lot of people who love the sport see Vettel as his biggest rival this year, though Webber explained that there are a lot of quick drivers in F1 at the moment, as well as solid teams to complement them.

Webber added: "Seb is going to be a quick driver, no question about it, but I''m not going to bed thinking about him; I''m going to bed thinking about myself and doing the best job I can, to get the best results I can, for myself."

The first race of the season kicks off this weekend, with the epic racing contest starting in Bahrain.
