Team Lotus has parted company with Malaysian reserve driver Fairuz Fauzy.
Fauzy drove for Lotus during the 2010 season, taking part in Friday practice during the Malaysian, British, German, Singapore and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekends.
"Just last week, Lotus Racing prematurely released Fairuz from what was supposed to be a five-year contract, a move some may see as a detriment to the team after the insight, experience and exposure Fairuz has gained over the last 12 months with Lotus Racing," read a statement from Fauzy's management.
"In view of such developments as well, Fairuz has decided to contemplate other options and offers he has been receiving as of late from other Formula 1 teams, which also affords him the opportunity and flexibility to compete in other racing series at the same time.
"We are now looking at all avenues to fit him as a full time race driver in an international racing series of the same stature, but of course formula one is our main priority."
