The rumours about Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa replacing Brazilian Luciano Burti at Jaguar Racing have been dismissed by the Milton Keynes-based team.

Reports in the British press suggested that de la Rosa, who was hired as the team's test driver last month, would replace Burti after the Brazilian Grand Prix.

However, team boss Bobby Rahal denied the speculation, which has been surrounding the team since the entry of the Spanish driver.

"I don’t know where these stories come from," Rahal told Jaguar Racing.com. "As I’ve said many times before, Pedro is our development driver, with a contract to race next year.

"Eddie and Luciano are our race drivers and will remain so for the rest of the year, and that’s the end of the story."
