`I decided to stay here`
Mark Webber says he could have wound up in a BMW Sauber cockpit in 2006.
Williams` Australian driver, who often clashed with the team`s management last year, admitted that he staged talks with Mario Theissen.
"Yeah, he asked me about my contract," the 29-year-old said, referring to the BMW boss.

Webber joined a disappointing BMW-powered Williams in 2005, but the Munich based engine partner was soon engaged in successful talks to buy Sauber and leave Sir Frank`s Grove based squad.

"I could have gone (to BMW Sauber) but I decided to stay here," Webber told the Independent.

He is often criticised for his 2005 form, where BMW-departed team-mate Nick Heidfeld regularly showed him the way in race conditions, although Webber was usually the qualifying leader.

"I know I can race," Webber said. "If it`s with this team, great."
