Jarno Trulli says he expects an announcement to be made shortly, confirming his second year with the Lotus team alongside Heikki Kovalainen.
Neither driver has a contract for 2011, but both are expected to stay with the team as they look to make big strides in terms of pace and reliability with the recent announcement that they will use Red Bull hydraulics and gearboxes, whilst a Renault engine deal is imminent.
The Italian hinted at the fact that ‘other stuff’, quite possibly the technical deals with Red Bull and Renault, were holding up future driver announcements.
“I should be here like Heikki, and it should be confirmed soon,” he told Autosport in Japan.
“The team is currently looking after some other stuff – but the announcement should be soon.”
