With Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo ruling out Mexican Sauber driver Sergio Perez as a Ferrari driver next year and mentioning Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel as a smokescreen tactic, the Scuderia's 2013 driver line-up still remains a big question. Whether the Kovalainen talks are preliminary or serious remains to be seen.
Kovalainen and his team have also had contact with the Lotus team. In 2007 the Finn made his Formula 1 debut with the outfit then known as Renault F1. Many believe that the 30 year old will be leaving the Caterham team, after he hinted he could leave the squad at the end of this season.
