Rumors: Luis Garcia Abad met Red Bull chiefs 

According to the Spanish daily newspaper Diario As, Alonso’s manager Luis Garcia Abad met yesterday in Madrid with Red Bull magnate Dietrich Mateschitz and also Gerhard Berger, the Toro Rosso co-owner. Mark Webber and David Coulthard have contracts to stay at Red Bull Racing next year, while the Berger co-owned junior team announced that it intends to field Sebastian Vettel alongside multiple Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais in 2008. Rumur has it that Bourdais could be asked to spend one final season in the United States so that Coulthard can switch to Toro Rosso, thus vacating a seat at the senior team for Alonso.
