He's Formula One's in-form driver and now Australian Mark Webber is being linked with a move to Italian giant Ferrari.
Webber, who secured pole position for last night's Monaco Grand Prix less than a week after his victory in Spain, has been mentioned as Ferrari's potential replacement for the Brazilian Felipe Massa.
Both the Australian, who drives for Red Bull Racing, and Massa are off contract at the end of 2010.
Massa is widely expected to not be offered a new deal with Ferrari.
Renault's Polish driver Robert Kubica has long been linked as the man to replace Massa alongside Spain's Fernando Alonso at Ferrari, but several reports over the weekend suggested Webber might be the man to move to Maranello. At the heart of the rumour is Renault's new team owner Gerard Lopez announcing he intends to keep Kubica at the French marque.
''If he feels that the team is going in the right direction to become world champions, which is our intention, then he has no reason to go somewhere else,'' Lopez was quoted on former ITV-F1 commentator James Allen's blog.
