Red Bulls Formula One driver Mark Webber has said that despite sharing an intriguing relationship,he does not even know his teammate Sebastian Vettel.

We dont hang out. We work for the team and we work professionally. We have a big age difference so we didnt have much in common even before we began racing each other at this level, Fox Sports quoted Webber,as saying.

I would say he is not a bad guy,but I dont know him particularly well. I dont know him at all away from the racetrack, he added.

Webber further declared that he is the teams No. 1 driver,and warned Vettel that he could be out of a job if he failed to live up to his potential.

Well,at this stage of my career and when you get somebody who is arguably or supposed to be world class on paper – in some peoples eyes – you have to be on top of your game so you dont get steamrolled, Webber said.

You can be the No. 2 driver after a couple of races very easily. You have to be in there and it is a serious sport protecting your corner. I feel sensational in the team right now and I have rarely felt like a No. 2.

I have had times when I have felt like I was a No. 2 and I reckon Seb has had times where he says,Oh,I am No. 2 now. I feel like I am No. 1 at the moment,but it ebbs and flows, he added.
