The news has piqued Pirelli chief Paul Hembery's interest, with the Briton describing the 43-year-old as the sport's "most experienced tyre tester". "If he gets bored in the Swiss mountains, then we will find a job for him," he laughed, according to Germany's motorsport-total.com. "We can't offer him 20 million, so he would have to do it for the love," grinned Hembery.
