Liuzzi seems Faenza bound
But the Italian, who raced just four times for Red Bull's senior team this year, admitted that slotting in next to veteran David Coulthard is still a 'possibility'.
''Nothing is fixed at the moment,'' the 24-year-old said. ''One will be V8, one will be V10 — we have to wait and see.''
With less experience than Red Bull regular Christian Klien, however – and therefore more fitting of Squadra Toro Rosso's rookie status – Faenza seems the likely destination.
And 'Tonio' Liuzzi, the 2001 world karting champion and F3000 title winner last year, agreed: ''They call me the Italian Stallion, and that could go well with Toro Rosso.''
He called watching Klien from the sideline, as a 'Friday' test driver, 'difficult' in '05. ''But I'm really optimistic,'' Liuzzi told his website, ''because I had to think not so much of racing this year … but of my future.
''I am pretty happy with my season. I think we showed that we can be pretty strong.''
