FORMER Formula One world champion Alan Jones has urged Australian compatriot Mark Webber to leave Red Bull and join Ferrari, saying it would inject a "breath of fresh air" into his career.
Speculation has linked Webber to a Ferrari seat alongside two-time world champion Fernando Alonso at regular intervals over the last few seasons and Jones said it was something every Formula One driver craved.
"Mark has already done one of the two things that most Formula One drivers would like to do, and that's win Monaco - the other one is to drive for Ferrari," he said. "I'm sure he'd have a look at it," added Jones, the last Australian to win the world title, in 1980 with Williams.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner played down all Ferrari talk, asking, "Why would he want to leave?"
