FinOz Racing doesn't confirm nor deny Juha's Puma F1 drive. That's the official line so far!

"True, we have been talking with John Harland about possibilities for Juha to be Puma's race driver in 2005 season. Juha has signed a test driver contract with us till end of 2006 and he very much wants to stay in the team. The package we are talking with Puma would be full season race driver role and Juha would be free to test for us and do promotion work when we need him, of course not during race weekend when he would be 100% Puma F1 employee. But not a single contract has been signed yet."

"Now we all at FinOz Racing want to focus on ultra important Japanese GP Race. We will have more time after the season ends to talk about 2005 season, thanks."

Those were FinOz Racing Team Manager Kari Koski's only comment on the matter in the Suzuka pitlane before rushing into team motor home just minutes before the Qualifying session was about to start.
