Lotus to confirm Trulli and Kovalainen, not Sato
At noon Malaysian time on Monday, Lotus looks set to announce that Jarno Trulli has been signed for the 2010 season.
Citing a person with apparent knowledge of the three-year deal, the Associated Press said the Italian's contract will have an option to leave the team at the end of each season.
Reuters mentioned Heikki Kovalainen as a likely teammate for the 35-year-old former Renault and Toyota driver, after Takuma Sato's manager Matthew Winter said the Japanese is out of the running.
"We know Taku has not got Lotus -- we found out yesterday," he said.
Kuala Lumpur-born Fairuz Fauzy will almost certainly be named as the reserve driver.
