Heikki Kovalainen is one of several drivers on the grid whose future remains uncertain, as his current contract with Caterham expires this year.
Kovalainen has made it clear that he’d like to get back in a more competitive car, but it’s not clear how many realistic options he still has to move elsewhere.
“Nothing’s been signed for next for myself yet,” said the Finn. “Personally, my target and my focus is at each race weekend for our team it’s quite important that we try to regain that 10th position back from Marussia. It’s not going to be easy but I think we have to do whatever it takes to be in a position to do that if a freak race happens again.
“So, the main focus is on that, and regarding the future with the team and with Tony [Fernandes], we haven’t decided yet. I think Tony knows what he gets with me but then he’s evaluating other options, I think, to see what he wants to do. And I’m waiting.
“In the meantime, of course, my management is also working. There’s nothing really to report but the main thing I think for myself and really for our team has to be to keep pushing to get that 10th position back. It’s quite crucial.”
Adam Cooper notched up his 27th season as a racing journalist in 2011. He has written about F1 for SPEED.com since 2005. Follow him on Twitter.
