"Juan Pablo is an exciting driver and immensely likeable character who will undoubtedly make a successful transition to the NASCAR scene," he said, "We have agreed that, with so many things happening in Juan Pablo's life right now, he should take some time out of the car and prepare professionally and personally for the future."

While de la Rosa said he was relishing the chance to race the MP4/21 – a car he said he knows better than anyone else – there has been no further indication of who will take the second seat for next season, although Crash.net understands that de la Rosa is now a frontrunner for a possible race seat in 2007, even though two Spaniards racing for the same team sounds as likely as the once-rumoured Renault partnership of Heikki Kovalainen and Kimi Raikkonen.
