The Daily Mail said the British sponsor Vodafone "would welcome the tantalising lineup", and a source at the mobile company added: "Any team would like to have two world champions in their ranks." Another source told the Sun tabloid: "Vodafone would be very keen on the idea." Asked directly about the rumours, Whitmarsh said: "We've talked to a number of drivers. It wouldn't be appropriate to say more than that. "We'll hire the two best drivers available to us as we always have," he added, amid expectations Heikki Kovalainen will not be retained. The newspaper also said Toyota is interested in Button "but he is unlikely to go there".
