Red Bull’s reserve driver Sebastien Buemi on Sunday had a meeting with Force India officials, Blick newspaper reports from India.
The Swiss, who lost his Toro Rosso race seat at the end of last season, has already been named as a possible successor for the probably Sauber-bound Nico Hulkenberg.
Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko also seemed to confirm the possibility Buemi is in with a shot of the Force India cockpit.
"If Buemi doesn’t go to Force India," he is quoted by the Swiss newspaper Blick, "then we want to keep him.
"He might also do the (sports car) endurance world championship with Toyota," added Marko.
