Toyota are continuing in their pursuit of Kimi Raikkonen with team president John Howett revealing that they have offered the Finn a contract for next season.
Raikkonen is without a 2010 race-seat after agreeing to part ways with Ferrari a year earlier than expect, earning the 2007 World Champion a hefty pay-off.
Subsequent rumours have linked him to a possible move to McLaren while Toyota have also expressed an interest. In fact, Howett says they've even put an offer on the table.
"We don't play too many games. We put on the table what we can afford and what we think is a serious offer in the current market," he told Reuters. "I think genuinely we could work well with him, give him a car that's quick.
"We have had very good relationships with Scandinavian drivers in the rallying times that enjoy life and it works very well, so we could cope with it as a team."
As for existing drivers, Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock, neither driver is assured of a deal for next season. Howett did, however, admit that the team has made Trulli an offer, although they not sure if he will accept.
"With both drivers we are still maintaining a degree of discussion," said Howett.
"We have put an offer on the table with Jarno, I think that he himself is not dissatisfied with the financial offer, the bottom line to some extent is certain issues on the contract and I don't think they are negotiable from our side.
"He may well be in the car next year but it's not at all clear."
Another option available to the team is Kamui Kobayashi, who made his debut in Brazil, replacing the injured Glock.
"I thought he defended well, he retook Jenson," said Howett. "He's fearless and did a good job to get past Fisichella.
"He was a bit off the pace overall but it was very impressive. You have to say we have to give him serious consideration but still pace-wise he was a bit slow so we have to see."
