Rival teams could soon be seeking out Jenson Button for a chat about 2010 after an unnamed team boss admitted that he wouldn't mind having the Brit race for him.
Button is one of the hottest stars in Formula One at present after the Brit claimed five victories in the opening six races. As such he's leading the Drivers' Championship, which many believe no one can stop him from winning.
It's his future, though, that is grabbing headlines with Brawn GP confessing they want to sign the 29-year-old for the remainder of his career.
However, Brawn could face a tough battle as other more well-financed outfits are also interested in Button's services.
"We'd love to have him in our car next year," a rival team boss told The Mirror.
"There are going to be quite a few seats open next year and Jenson is going to be at the top of many people's lists.
"How could he not be after his performances in the last few races? Any question marks that were remaining disappeared after his pace in Monaco.
"And it wasn't just that he won it, it was that he started the weekend with a car he was far from happy with and developed it into a winning car.
"Apparently, even Rubens Barrichello was surprised with the pace he got out of the car right at the end of qualifying.
"We are certainly interested in his services and have made that known, but we'd be daft to assume we're the only ones.
"A lot of people like the humble way he has carried himself at a time when he could have crowed and told his critics 'I told you so'".
