Vitantonio Liuzzi's role is however the question mark. Force India is probably the last team (leaving out HRT who have a seat available) to announce their driver lineup. One would have expected an earlier announcement from the team. A good reason for the delay could be Liuzzi's existing contract with the team. Liuzzi is said to have a contract till the end of the year which probably included a race seat. The delay would have been due to the contract negotiations with Liuzzi to reach an amicable solution.
There was talk about Nico Hulkenberg taking over the reserve role, which would leave us guessing about Liuzzi's future. But all will be revealed in a few hours today
