Five-time World Champion Rally, Sebastian Loeb, is open for a switch to Formula One. Loeb is interested in the Scuderia Toro Rosso seat of Sebastien Bourdais, as the Frenchman would be dropped by the Italian outfit after the German GP according to rumours in the paddock.

Loeb said to the French newspaper 'L'Equipe': "Who knows, as long as the Formula 1 and rallying calendars don't overlap anything is possible. If there is a place at Toro Rosso I am available.

"Although I must say a grand prix is not the same as a rally. It is 70 laps and physically I'm not ready. In rallying you do not have the same conditions as an F1 driver."

Last winter, Loeb impressed in a test session with the Red Bull Racing F1 Team and the Rally driver would have recently spend time in the team's simulator.
