De la Rosa, Sutil, muse F1 futures at Monza
Sauber has confirmed that Kamui Kobayashi has retained his seat for next season, but the same it not yet true for the rookie Japanese's 39-year-old teammate de la Rosa.
The Spanish veteran returned to the grid this season after a long period as a test driver, but insists he feels "no pressure" despite the fact his team is not yet willing to sign a new deal.
"I'm very happy with the season I've had," he added.
Also asked his future at Monza on Thursday was Force India's Adrian Sutil, who has been linked with a possible move to a rival team for 2011.
Asked when his future will be known, the German said: "Hopefully soon. I don't want to wait until December.
"I can honestly say that this (Force India) is still my top priority, I will talk first with them. In my opinion this is a team of the future.
"I've been here a long time, but maybe someone will make me an offer I cannot refuse," admitted Sutil.
