Marcus Ericsson looks set to remain at Caterham next season after team boss Manfredi Ravetto admitted their “doors are open” to him for 2015.
The Swedish rookie secured his best result of the season in Singapore which Ravetto believes is evidence of a breakthrough for Ericsson after a relatively disappointing season so far.
“I saw a strong Ericsson in Singapore who did the best race of his season,” Ravetto told Autosport.
“The fact is he superbly managed to keep both Marussias behind him and did a really fantastic race on a very difficult track.
“We are really very happy with the progress he made and our doors are open for him for next year.”
Taking reliability and DNF’s in to account, Ericsson has been outqualified ten times to three by Kamui Kobayashi and has only beaten the Japanese driver once on Sunday, yet the team are still debating whether Kobayashi will race in Japan next weekend.
“We have no rush to make any decision,” he added. “Driver choice is a very sensitive one and I have to listen to many people’s advice and influence in this respect. It is not a single man’s decision.”
