One of the still open drives for this season is a second seat at Arrows alongside Mika Salo. Spanish press reported that Pedro de la Rosa has signed with the team. de la Rosa denied these reports today.

He said: "It's true that there are certain conversations going on that could be described as serious negotiations between me, the team and other interested parties. But there's nothing concrete yet. In no way can you say a deal has been done. Arrows won't make a decision - over sponsors, engine and drivers - until February."

He will however have another test session with the team in Barcelona on January 13th and 14th in Barcelona. "This shows that they count on me, that they're taking me into serious consideration and that they have confidence in me," de la Rosa stated.
