Gerhard Berger reacted to the rumours that he may be going to Ferrari next season and replace Eddie Irvine there: "There were rumours that under certain circumstances I might drive for Ferrari in the upcoming F1 season. At this point, this cannot be confirmed."
Berger did say he had talks with Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo. He stated: "It is true that I was in Maranello and had dinner with Luca di Montezemolo -- this was arranged a few weeks ago. But this does not really allow conclusions about my future."
Berger does seem to have a clear view on his future because he added: "If there are no complications, I will announce my plans between the races in Suzuka and Jerez."
