Mark Webber has revealed a desire to help up-and-coming driv𝐆ers, especially Australian hopefuls, by entering into a team ownership deal in the new GP3 Series.

The Red Bull Racing star, a graduate of GP2 Series predecessor F3000, has linked up with current team boss Christian Horner's Arden operation to run three cars in the new-for-2010 F1 support category, with Horner confirming during Friday's Japanese Grand Prix practice t💝hat Webber feels that the time is right to 'put something back into the sport'.

GP2 Series organisers revealed the ten teams official🍃ly accepted into the new GP3 Series as F1 headed to Suzuka, with the Webber-Horner alliance set to run under th🐠e MW Arden banner, with an Australian licence.

GP3 will also have further F1 links courtesy of Manor Racing and Status Grand Prix which, under the guidance of recently-confirmed Cosworth recruit Mark Gallagher, wonꦡ last season's A1GP title with Team Ireland.

The rest꧂ of the field is made up of existing GP2 outfits ART Grand Prix and Addax - both of which have been linked to possible F1 efforts - World Series by Renault frontrunners Carlin Motorsport and Tech 1, former GP2 entrant Hitech Racing, F3 experts Mucke Motorsport and former WSbR regular Jenzer Motorsport.
