At least four media sources are claiming Mark Webber is a contender to replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari next year.

Autosport, The Sun, the Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo, and British journalist James Allen all reported the rumour from this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix. Rumours have linked Robert Kubica to the drive as well to replace the struggling Massa, whose current team-mate Fernando Alonso is under long-term contract.

The Sun also said Webber could retire if he is not retained by Red Bull in 2011 and is unable to find another top drive. Kimi Raikkonen has been linked with Webber's seat at Red Bull, and the newspaper said "the pieces of the puzzle" could be in place by July.

El Mundo, meanwhile, raised the possibility that Massa could simply swap seats with Webber and race alongside Sebastian Vettel next year.
