Christian Klien has refused to clearly deny rumours that he could be on the way
to Toyota next year.

The former Jaguar and Red Bull racer switched to the
test role at Honda for 2007 in a bid to start to claw his way back to the grand
prix grid.
But with the Japanese squad looking to keep both Rubens
Barrichello and Jenson Button on board in 2008, 24-year-old Klien could instead
be looking to fill beleaguered Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher's race
seat.
Sportnet.at asked the Austrian, a veteran of 48 grands prix, if he
was still hoping to race for Honda in the future.
"You should ask the
team about drivers," he answered.
Regarding the Toyota speculation, Klien
added: "Like I said, it is each team's responsibility to make statements about
its driver situation.
"I can say nothing more about it."
What he
could say, however, is that he fully intends to return to the formula one field
before too long.
"When it will be, we will have to find out," Klien
concluded.
