He is on a one year contract ATM and was linked to move to Ferrari to replace Massa when his contract ends next year, but who really knows...

I highly highly doubt he will drive for Ferrari in 2013. He has been with RBR from the start and has presumably built up great relationships with many of the staff. If Ferrari is faster than Red Bull next year he might consider it if they are interested, however.

He has always stated that driving for Ferrari is something he would like to do before he retires, I bet most f1 drivers feel that way as well and it is not due to their pace 
Stranger things have happened but we will have to wait and see, a lot of time to pass before we get to worry about the 2013 season

If Ferrari were going to consider anyone for a drive in 2013 there's a Polish guy waiting for that ride.
What some of you guys are forgetting is that Alonso is Ferrari's golden boy.
You think Webber is going to play second chair in another team?

Yes Teh Nose is the Golden Boy® at Ferrari, be he is mates with Webber, and Webber can bring good info from RBR and why not have a season or two and finish off your career at Ferrari..
Like I said there is a while yet to go till 2013 season and none of us have any inside info (like nearly all f1 news sites) so we will have to wait and see.

Sebastien Buemi won't completely disappear from the Formula One radar this season after being named Red Bull Racing's test and reserve driver for 2012.
The 23-year-old Swiss was left without a race seat for this campaign after Toro Rosso decided to drop him after three seasons. The Faenza-based squad replaced him as well as Jaime Alguersuari with inexperienced duo Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne.
Buemi, though, will remain in the Red Bull stable and will take up the reserve driver role, a position he held during 2008.
"It's good to remain with Red Bull for another year and have this opportunity with the World Championship winning team," he said.
"I would prefer to be driving at the races of course, but working with Red Bull Racing on the development of their car and providing them with feedback throughout the season is the next best thing."
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said: "It was entirely logical for Sebastien to continue with Red Bull having been a member of the Junior Team since 2004.
"He already knows the team well from his time with us in 2008 and has gained significant race experience over the past three years. He will complete important test and simulation work for us throughout the year and will be in attendance at each Grand Prix."
