Pedro de la Rosa's involvement in Formula One could continue with a return to McLaren, according to reports in the Spanish press.
De la Rosa, 40, was McLaren's long-term test driver before he quit to return to the grid with Sauber in 2010. However, that was not a successful move and he was replaced before the season was through, leaving to test with Pirelli where he remains.
It is believed, however, that the Spaniard would prefer a role with an F1 team. McLaren were the obvious candidates, but recent reports indicated it was happy Gary Paffett supporting racers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.
But on Thursday, McLaren's executive chairman Ron Dennis was at the Madrid offices of the team's Spanish banking sponsor Santander, and AS newspaper reported that, during his visit, Dennis had a meeting with de la Rosa.
