Four chase Force India seats
Four drivers - Adrian Sutil, Tonio Liuzzi, Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg - are in the hunt for the two race seats at Force India next season.
The Silverstone-based team are yet to reveal their driver line-up for next year after their two seats were listed as 'TBA' on the official FIA entry list for 2011.
Incumbent Sutil and Liuzzi have both been linked with moves away from the team, but the latter is contracted for 2011 while Sutil has a one-year option to continue his deal.
The general consensus the past few months has been that the team will promote reserve driver Paul di Resta should one or both of them decide to move on.
However, Williams' decision to release Hulkenberg has put a spanner in the works with Di Resta now in danger of missing out on a race seat.
According to the BBC, 'Hulkenberg's sudden unemployment has complicated matters for Di Resta as the German is now closing in on the Force India seat the Scot has been warming all season as the team's reserve.
'Formula 1 insiders believe the hearts and minds of Force India are with Di Resta and the team want to give him one of the two seats.'
