Mark Webber says he will not miss Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel when he calls time on his Formula One career at the end of the season.

In June, the Australian driver announced that he would be leaving Formula One after 11 years to race for Porsche in the World Endurance Championship.

During the five seasons both he and Vettel have driven together at Red Bull, Webber and his team-mate have not enjoyed the closest of friendships.

The ongoing feud between the duo made the headlines at the Malaysian Grand Prix earlier this season when Vettel ignored a team order which subsequently denied Webber victory.

"Probably not a huge amount, no," Webber said when Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson asked him if he would miss Vettel after he retires in nine races' time.

"I think in a competitive environment there is always a bit of needle and there is a lot of history between us."

In a interview on the popular BBC show, Clarkson also pushed Webber for an answer when he asked if he had ever been tempted to hit his team-mate.

"My dad always says you shouldn't hit boys, mate," was the response.

Webber and his Formula One peers are currently on a month-long break before the season resumes at the Belgian Grand Prix on August 23.

Vettel is the current championship leader on 172 points with Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen (134) second and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso (133) third.

Webber sits fifth (105) behind Lewis Hamilton (124).

Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo is favourite to replace Webber at Red Bull, with Raikkonen also in the running.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said the team would confirm their decision before the next race.
