Rubens Barrichello has dismissed as “just rumours” suggestions he could return to formula one next year with Caterham.<\/p>\n

\"Rubens-Barrichello\"The veteran was bitterly disappointed to end his record-setting grand prix career at the end of last year, but was conspicuously present for the last two races of the 2012 season, in the US – where he has been racing Indycars in 2012 – and his native Brazil.<\/p>\n

Asked about the Caterham rumours doing the rounds at Interlagos, the 40-year-old told Brazil’s Tazio: “It’s just rumours.<\/p>\n

“It always happens.\u00a0 In F1 they’re always searching for information that does not exist.<\/p>\n

“I’m calm and my future belongs to god.\u00a0 I certainly hope to be driving something competitive (in 2013), but it is still too early to tell.”<\/p>\n

The rumours had gained strength when Barrichello was seen in the Caterham pits.<\/p>\n

“It was just to visit with Heikki Kovalainen,” he insisted to Totalrace.<\/p>\n

Actually, Caterham’s eleventh-hour return to the top ten in the constructors’ championship has probably boosted Finn Kovalainen’s chances of staying put.<\/p>\n

Faced with the loss of crucial Concorde Agreement income, the team has been considering replacing its salaried ‘number 1’ with a pay-driver like Giedo van der Garde.<\/p>\n

Kovalainen said after the Brazilian grand prix: “For the future, everything is still open.\u00a0 Nothing is for sure,” he is quoted by the Finnish MTV3 broadcaster.<\/p>\n

“Let’s see what we can do, but it looks bad.”<\/p>\n
