Timo Glock admits he is watching the driver market for any openings within the more established teams next season.
The former Jordan and Toyota driver had been linked with a seat at Renault before he chose to join the new Virgin outfit based in Yorkshire.
He denies that he is close to securing the second seat at the team for 2011 despite rumblings that the French marque is looking for a more experienced second driver to help them in the constructors title.
“I’m keeping my eyes open,” he told itv-f1.com. “We’ll see if there is an opportunity at Renault, I don’t know at the moment. I’m not that close to talking to them.
“I have a longer contract at Virgin, but if things are not going as they should, what I said from the beginning is I will have a look around and I’ll keep my eyes open.”
Things are improving at Virgin despite a major error at the start of the season. The team had to spend millions on redesigning their chassis as their fuel tank wasn’t large enough to get them to the end of some races.
However, they are beginning to show their pace, most evidently at the Hungarian GP where Glock managed to out-qualify both Lotus cars.
