Adrian Sutil has admitted that talks with Williams have taken place for the 2012 season, as the outfit is one of just a few with a vacancy.
The German is expected to lose his seat at Force India, with the team looking at pairing Paul di Resta with Nico Hulkenberg, but an announcement has yet to be made.
Despite this, Sutil has openly admitted to having spoken to ‘several teams’, including Williams which is likely to drop Rubens Barrichello who is out of contract.
“Yes, certainly there has been talks with several teams for quite some time, but nothing is signed,” Sutil is quoted by Speed-Magazin.
“Williams is certainly one of the teams that have a seat. Unfortunately I can’t say anything about the discussions to date. But we hope that there is a decision by mid-December.”
Sutil drove well during the 2011 season to finish 9th, ahead of his rookie teammate, which he admits was no easy feat.
“Yes, in the end I beat Paul in all areas, but it was hard work. He did a great job and challenged me throughout the year. Whether he is set [to stay at Force India] or not, I cannot say, I don’t know about Paul’s contract.”
