Helmut Marko is not ruling out making a move for Lewis Hamilton, perhaps as imminently as in time for the 2012 season.<\/p>\n
After a recent round of speculation, during which Red Bull team boss Christian Horner described Hamilton as a “great driver”, the 2008 world champion insisted he is committed to McLaren.<\/p>\n
But Hamilton also said in Australia: “Of course, I’m going to be in formula one for some time, and you never know which way the wind will take you.”<\/p>\n
At Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel’s future is firmly secure, but his current teammate Mark Webber – who had a dire start to the 2011 season in Melbourne – is signed up only to the end of the year.<\/p>\n
“First we have to see how the season goes for Mark and what he decides,” Red Bull’s F1 consultant Marko told Sport Bild.<\/p>\n
“Definitely with his aggression and his speed, Hamilton must always be a topic,” the Austrian added.<\/p>\n
“Our philosophy is to have the quickest drivers together in our team,” said Marko.<\/p>\n
F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone said he would be happy to see Vettel and Hamilton together at Red Bull.<\/p>\n
“Both of them are a gift for formula one, even more if they were in the same team,” he said.<\/p>\n
