Force India to announce driver line up today

On Wednesday26th Jan, Force India will be announcing their driver lineup. It is expected that Paul di Resta will move up the order and be racing in the 2011 season. His team mate will be Adrian Sutil who had earlier confirmed that he extended his contract with Force India.

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
