Liuzzi hopeful about F1 future
Italian Tonio Liuzzi is confident he will stay in Formula One next season after losing his seat at Scuderia Toro Rosso
Liuzzi, who joined the Italian squad last year after four races for Red Bull Racing, will be replaced at the team by three-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais in 2008.
The Italian driver said his future could depend on world champion Fernando Alonso, with speculation rife about the Spaniard's future at McLaren.
"For sure at the moment everything is in standby as I think Alonso will move all the field," Liuzzi told reporters in Istanbul.
"It is normal, he is the world champion and he is the man of the market. It seems like that anyway, although I don't know if it is true or not.
"So everybody is a bit on standby. My position is moving forwards and I think I have got a quite a good chance for the future."
Liuzzi, 26, said his main priority for next season was to find a racing seat.
"Yes. Racing and racing with a team that wants to win," he said.
