De la Rosa 'available' for next year

De la Rosa 'available' for next year

Pedro de la Rosa has given the clearest indication yet that he won't be at Sauber next season by saying he is "available".

The former McLaren tester has made a forgetful start to the 2010 campaign with six out of the races finishing in DNFs.

And while team boss Peter Sauber insists he won't change his drivers during the season, it looks like the Spaniard will be on his way come the end of the year.

"I am enjoying it even though we have had a difficult start to the year," he told the BBC. "I believe we can recover it and no matter how bad it's been, it's better than testing.

"I feel young and for the future, if anyone wants me, I am available. I am usable, even if I have to go back testing or as a reserve driver, because I have had another year in Formula One racing. It will extend my career, simple as that."
