Berger says Alonso headed for Ferrari in 2010

Mike Gascoyne has admitted he would accept a job with the famous formula one team Ferrari.

Formerly perhaps the highest paid engineer in the sport, the 46-year-old Briton was ousted by Force India at the end of last season.

He acted as an expert pundit for Britain’s TV coverage of the recent Chinese grand prix, and at the same time is believed to have spoken with teams about his desire to return to F1.

“I’m not looking for a fixed role,” Gascoyne told Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport, “but I could carry out a consultant’s role in the aero field, in the wind tunnel.”

He said his talents and working method would gel with Ferrari.

“Ferrari would enrich my career, I live between Switzerland and Germany with my girlfriend Silvia so to go to Maranello wouldn’t be a problem,” said Gascoyne.

Berger says Alonso headed for Ferrari in 2010

Gerhard Berger is adamant that Fernando Alonso will head to Ferrari at the end of 2009.

The former Toro Rosso co-owner said he “negotiated intensively” with the 27-year-old Spaniard last year, when he needed to replace the Red Bull-bound Sebastian Vettel.

“Now I can say it: he was interested, but made it clearly understood that he saw 2009 only as a transitional year, because he already knew what he would be doing in 2010,” Berger said in an interview with Germany’s Sport Bild.

“Surely it’s Ferrari,” the Austrian winner of ten grands prix added.
