Trulli rules out BAR move
Jarno Trulli says he has not targeted a move to BAR next year if Jenson Button's planned move back to Williams goes ahead
The Renault driver will leave the Anglo-French team at the end of the year and has been linked to a move to Toyota alongside Germany's Ralf Schumacher. But following Button's decision to move to Williams next year, Trulli's name has been added to the list of potential drivers for the BAR berth.
Ahead of today's (Sunday) Hungarian Grand Prix, though, Trulli has denied that he is interested in a move to BAR but said an announcement on his future will probably come next month.
Asked if he would join BAR, Trulli told Reuters: "I don't think so. I've been talking to a lot of teams. I can't say we have signed anything or have anything finalised but we are close. I think my future will be revealed in September."
Trulli is the only driver besides Ferrari's Michael Schumacher to have won a race this season. He currently lies fourth in the drivers' championship with 46 points.
