The rumour mill has started to spin wildly in Silverstone. Earlier this week, veteran David Coulthard announced his retirement from Formula 1 and team Red Bull Bull Racing revealed that Mark Webber would be back for one more year.
Speculation hits top gear that young German driver Sebastian Vettel is first in line to fill Coulthard's Red Bull race seat for 2009.
"All I can say is that we haven't spoken about that so far," Vettel said. "Perhaps we will in the future, but so far we are only concentrating on this season," he added.
On the other had, Nico Rosberg would be on BMW-Sauber's 2009 shopping-list to replace German countryman Nick Heidfeld. Rosberg, however, is under contract to Williams for next year, and his team boss Sir Frank Williams says he would not sell the document even for "50 million dollars".
Fernando Alonso walked through Silverstone's paddock gates wearing a bright red shirt, but he insists it was not a hint about his preferred formula one team.
"No, I'm not about to sign anything," the current Renault driver told Spanish reporters when asked about the lingering Ferrari rumours on the verge of the British grand prix.
The red shirt, incidentally, was the jersey of Spain's national football team, which - with Alonso watching from the stands in Vienna - recently won Euro 2008.
Back to F1 matters, the former double world champion said: "After the summer I will have some time to think about what I am going to do. So far I have not talked to anyone, nor has anything happened. I am focused 100 per cent on doing good races."
Elsewhere, the German publication Auto Bild Motorsport is reporting that - backed by sponsor Marlboro - Ferrari could launch an awesome 60 million euros bid to lure Sebastian Vettel to the Italian team for 2009, just in case Kimi Raikkonen retires.
