Adrian Sutil told F1’s official website he still had 'more than one option' for next year and that he hopes to know more about his future within the next two weeks.
Even though Sutil showed great speed alongside a high-praised Paul di Resta team-mate in 2011, his great drives have not guaranteed him a spot on the 2012-grid yet. Nevertheless, he still trusts his chances of being either with Force India, Williams or Lotus Renault next year.
"To be honnest, I delivered great performances at my last 10 races, but obviously the last three are still more current to the onlooker. For sure, these results make things easier for me and my manager to sort out the future," were his words to Formula1.com.
He also denies the fact Kimi Raikkonen's arrival at Lotus Renault ahead of the 2012 season changes his plans for next year.
"[It has] no consequences for me at all," he said. "[And] for us, it wasn't a big surprise."
What are the chances then, of seeing the German line-up alongside Raikkonen at the Enstone-based outfit?
"I always said I'm happy to have the best team-mate I can get, as this is the only chance to show how good you are – and Kimi would be a great and very strong team-mate."
