Jarno Trulli extends Lotus contract

Italian driver Jarno Trulli extends his contract with Team Lotus.

Jarno Trulli has extended his contract with Team Lotus and will remain with the Formula One outfit for the 2012 season.

There had been speculation that the 37-year-old driver would be replaced at the end of this season but the Italian team have moved quickly to extend his current deal.

The Italian joined Lotus during their inaugural 2010 season but they have struggled to find the pace to be competitive so far.

"I am very pleased that we have been able to confirm today that my contract with Team Lotus has been extended into 2012," said Trulli.

"The challenge I first accepted when I joined the team is becoming more exciting every day, and I am very proud that I can keep helping the team take steps forward for at least another year."

Trulli is yet to record a win or a point during his two seasons at Lotus.
