Heikki Kovalainen is waiting for an answer from his team and Vitaly Petrov hits back he's not out of Formula One. Heikki Kovalainen has indicated the ball is in Caterham's court regarding the continuation of their relationship beyond 2012. The Finn's management, also keeping an eye on possible alternatives for the highly rated 30-year-old, has reportedly been in tough negotiations with team chief Tony Fernandes. Kovalainen has revealed in Korea that amid the 2013 negotiations, the ball is now clearly in Caterham's court. "We look forward to an answer from the team," he is quoted by Turun Sanomat newspaper.
Previously boosted by his Russian supporters, Vitaly Petrov's manager Oksana Kosachenko suggested recently that she was looking at alternative projects for 2013 because the 28-year-old driver's financial backing had dried up. But Petrov has suggested in Korea that Kosachenko was simply laying out their strategy to stay in formula one next year. "We decided to talk about it now, not at the end of the year or at the last race," the Caterham driver is quoted by Germany's motorsport-magazin.com. Staying at Caterham in 2013 remains a possibility said Vitaly Petrov, "They want to keep us here, my management and the team are still in negotiations on the contract for next year, so everything is still open."
