i read this news on updatef1.com:

--------------------------------------------------

(GMM) F1 team 'Midland' has denied Narain Karthikeyan's claim that the Indian is out of the running for the second race seat in 2006.

Although the 28-year-old rookie said his sponsors could not afford the $9 - $14 million price tag, a spokeswoman at the team originally known as Jordan insisted that Karthikeyan had received 'an offer for 2006-2007'.

''We have announced one driver ... and there is still a slot for a second driver available.''

With Christijan Albers all signed up, though, and Tiago Monteiro just awaiting official confirmation, it might be assessed that Midland is indulging in a damage-limiting mission to effectively dump the Indian driver.

The spokeswoman persisted: ''No, no, we are very happy with the way he has been driving.'' She did admit that the hold-up was about money.

''(But) the figure that he mentioned,'' she continued, ''... it's not that. It's less.''

Karthikeyan will not be out of the running until his sponsors make it so, possibly in a fit of sobreity after reviewing his dangerous performances from the past season.
