Scuderia Toro Rosso's co-owner Gerhard Berger has refused to rule out the possibility that 50 per cent partner Dietrich Mateschitz might not walk away entirely from the Toro Rosso Formula 1 team.

Mateschitz, the Red Bull mogul and billionaire, has made it clear, however, that he does not intend to fully develop STR's Faenza factory, despite the looming ban on customer cars for 2010.

Berger, also an Austrian, has been in the press this week, rejecting speculation that he is in talks about selling Mateschitz's share of the team to the Italian carmaker Lancia.

Sport Bild quotes the former grand prix winner as saying "So far, nothing is happening".

"I can even imagine that Mateschitz stays with us in some form," Berger added.
