Both Renault and Red Bull drivers dream of Ferrari, but is it the good time to switch to the Italian team.
Renault boss Eric Boullier is confident Robert Kubica will not switch to a rival team at the end of 2010.
Amid rumours linking the Pole with a move for 2011 to Ferrari, and his standout performance in Monaco, Renault team owner Gerard Lopez said last weekend that the 25-year-old has an opportunity to have "a team built around him".
And the Enstone based team's principal Boullier is quoted by Auto Hebdo: "The ambitions we have and the changes we are making to the car should convince him to stay with us."
However, it has been reported that Kubica has signed an "option" with Ferrari regarding the 2011 season.
Subsequent reports said he will be free to sign with the Maranello based team if Renault is not at least fourth in the constructors' world championship by July 15. Renault is currently fifth, 13 points behind Mercedes.
Dr Helmut Marko doubts Sebastian Vettel would consider switching to Ferrari any time soon.
Sebastian Vettel, 22, has said recently he sees the famous Maranello based team as a possible future employer.
The German is believed to be under contract to Red Bull until the end of 2011, but the energy drink company's motor racing advisor Marko is not sure a move to Ferrari soon would be a good idea.
"Ferrari is something very special for each driver. But you only have to look at the situation. Why should he go there to be with Alonso when he's doing more than well with us?" the Austrian said in an interview with APA news agency.
Interestingly, however, Marko said Red Bull would not sign an agreement that binds Vettel to the Milton-Keynes based squad for the rest of his formula one career.
"That's something we wouldn't want. He needs to feel at home and that he wants to be driving with us," said the former grand prix driver.
Marko added that "talks" to retain the current Vettel/Mark Webber lineup are "in progress", but warned that Red Bull is in a good negotiating position, "We no longer have to go knocking on doors (for drivers)."
