Something we could expect - Kovalainen

Heikki Kovalainen declared on Finnish television that he expected that Renault would not confirm him for 2008. Yesterday, the French team announced Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet Jr. as race drivers for the upcoming season.

Kovalainen said: "This was something we could expect. For some time we have been going through other options. Renault made this kind of a decision, but luckily there are two other options with interesting offers."

This declaration feeds the rumours that beside McLaren also Toyota would be interested in Kovalainen. According to the press, Toyota would side-line Jarno Trulli in favour of the young Finn.
