My guess is that he will have plenty of time to get reacquainted with sportscars and be plenty fast next year when the season begins. On the other hand, that certainly won't end Audi's reign quite yet.

Since all of the other factory drivers have been signed after several various tests, including driving and physical, among others, I have my doubts Porsche signed Webber simply on his name. I'd be willing to bet there was some sort of test involved, same with Jani.
