No Lotus contract for Trulli yet

(GMM) Jarno Trulli has denied suggestions he is already signed to race with the new Lotus F1 team in 2010.

Lotus boss Tony Fernandes revealed recently that one driver has now inked a contract, amid rumors a Trulli announcement is being held off until after he drives a Toyota at this weekend's Fuji Speedway Motor Sport Festival.

But as the Italian tested a Sprint Cup NASCAR in Florida on Wednesday, the local Orlando Sentinel newspaper reported that Trulli, 35, said he "has not yet signed with the (Lotus) team".

"I haven't signed with anyone yet and I've talked to teams," he confirmed to the Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) website. "My door is open right now."
