Trulli reassures about his future with Team Lotus

The arrival of Karun Chandhok in place of Jarno Trulli at the German GP was enough to raise questions regarding the Italian?s future within Team Lotus. Nevertheless, Tony Fernandes assured that he still had all his confidence in his official driver and that he would extend his contract.

Jarno Trulli supports the words of the president of Team Lotus by affirming that the contract is about to be signed. “I am already in the process of having a contract for next year”, confirmed the Italian to Press Association Sport. “I can't talk about it in advance, but things will happen at the right time. We will be more competitive next year because we will have the SREC in particular. The future looks bright. »

The Italian assures that he was not offended when he learned that he would have to give up his place to Karun Chandhok. “I prefer this to happen now so that I can start a new season at the next race”, puts the Team Lotus driver into perspective. “When Tony (Fernandes) came to see me for this, I knew he was expressing the team?s wish and I was therefore willing to give up my place. »
