"As many of the media has reported, we are currently looking into our package for next season and I hope I will be able to announce a deal very shortly," Mallya said. "I will make sure that my team has the best solution for engine, drivetrain and KERS possible so we can get a good head start and try to get the points that have eluded us so far this season."
"Before we get to that stage however I would like to see a strong performance in Brazil. We are not finished yet - one more race represents one more chance to score points," he added. "While we're realistic, we can't give up yet."
