Pedro de la Rosa could be set for a return to the grid in 2011 after revealing he is in touch with Hispania owner, Jose Ramon Carabante.
The Spanish team could gain a very valuable driver in the form of Spaniard De la Rosa, thanks to his involvement with Pirelli as their official tyre tester and until recently, a member of the Sauber outfit.
Though he isn’t counting on his experience with the 2011-spec tyres as a ‘determining factor’ in securing a seat with the team.
“It’s not going to be a determining factor. It’s not going to get me a drive, but it could get me closer to one,” de la Rosa told Spanish radio Onda Cero.
“I talk with Carabante and we are in a lively exchange, in fact he informs me about the teams progress.
“If the project is interesting and ambitious I would be glad to be with them. They know it, but at the moment there is no hurry.”
