Mark Webber nearly lost his battle with the elements at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix when his car started changing gear on its own.

The Red Bull ace was attempting to cope with the torrential rain that swamped the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve when water invaded his cockpit area.

Webber knew he was in for a rough ride when his F1 ride started making its own decisions.

He said: "The car was downshifting itself.”

"There was water that had got into the steering wheel so that had to be changed at one of the pits stops."

Mark Webber insists his future in Formula 1 remains open for now - after saying he would consider a switch to another team for 2012 if Red Bull Racing chooses not to extend his contract. The Australian has favoured a rolling year-by-year contract at his current outfit, and the team is in no rush to sort out a fresh deal for now.

That has prompted speculation about his future - with Ferrari already being singled out as a possible destination for him if the Italian outfit opts not to extend Felipe Massa's contract. Speaking to Italian newspaper La Stampa, Webber has said that his future is not settled – and that he will only make a call about his plans when Red Bull Racing has made its own mind up.
