De la Rosa linked with Hispania

Hispania Racing are reportedly interested in signing former Sauber driver Pedro de la Rosa.

Veteran De la Rosa is without a race seat for the remainder of the 2010 season after the Hinwil-based outfit decided to replace him with Nick Heidfeld.

The 39-year-old admitted the decision to axe him came as a shock, but says he "still intends to be in Formula One for 2011".

Spanish paper Dario AS claims F1 rookies Hispania could turn to De la Rosa as they would like to team up a driver his "quality" with Bruno Senna.

HRT have chopped and changed their drivers for most part of their debut season with Senna, Karun Chandhok and Sakon Yamamota sharing the driver duties.

The team are yet to confirm their drivers for next year, but there are strong suggestions that Senna will be the only one to hang onto his seat.

Meanwhile, the paper also adds that Hispania are close to signing a technical agreement with Toyota.
