Hispania team boss Colin Kolles has confirmed that his Spanish outfit is in talks with Toyota with a view to forming a technical partnership for 2011.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Hispania - which is currently using a Dallara chassis - was in talks to enter into a partnership with the remains of Toyota's F1 programme.

Asked about the report, Kolles told Reuters: "Yes, it is an option. I think it could be a good option for us."

While Bruno Senna, back in the Hispania after being dropped in favour of Sakon Yamamoto for the British GP, added: "It's an ongoing thing but I don't think they have any contracts signed and everything done. It's a lot of planning to do, considering the team is still trying to get on its feet.

"So everybody is working hard to find backing and the right people to work," he added. "I think they (Hispania) have some good plans."
