However, the money from Quantum hꦑas yet to materialize leading to speculation that the deal could be ওat risk.

Speaking to the press however, Boullier said progress continued to be𓂃 made and said he was hopeful things would come to conclusion i🙈n the near future.

"There is stiꦓll some discussion ongoing, especially now between bankers," he said. "The process is not fully completed but I think pa♔rt of it has been done, which is obviously a good sign for the weekend and we hope that everything is closed by early next week."

How quickly Lotus can close the deal is believed to be key in whether or not a deal can be struck with Nico Hulkenberg for 2014, with Pꦕastor Ma🎉ldonado also in the frame if the team requires additional financial backing.

Insisting he was 'still confident I will get o꧃ne of the guys I want', Boullier als🎉o downplayed questions about the viability of Ijaz as an investor on the back of information that has appeared online in recent weeks.

"Fortunately we don't have to base our judgement only on Google, with all respect to Google for what they are doiﷺng," he said. "To answer the question, yes, we have very serious proof of funds and good compliance of what is Quantum Motorsport."
