Mark Webber has said he hopes to be back behind the wheel for Red Bull at the beginning of February.

The Australian missed the start of the pre-season winter testing programme last month after suffering a broken leg in a mountain bike accident in November.

The 32-year-old is confident he will be able to do some testing for his team before the start of the new season in Melbourne at the end of March.

"I want to be testing at the beginning of February," Webber told Germany's Auto Motor Und Sport. "I can't push it too much because the swelling will come back.

"It could have been much worse. I was lucky it was the right leg, which is not working too hard in the car. The most important thing is that I get the feeling back."

Red Bull debut their new RB5 car on February 9.
