Wurz insists he will finish the season with Benetton

UNDER-PRESSURE Benetton driver Alexander Wurz has reiterated that he will be driving with the team until the end of the season at least.

The Austrian, who qualified in seventh for the German Grand Prix, has failed to score a single point this season and is expected to lose his seat with the Anglo-Italian team at the end of the season.

Despite speculation claiming the Hockenheim race with be his last with Benetton, Wurz insists he will still be with the team in the season's finale in Malaysia in October.

"I will be driving a Benetton until the end of the season," Wurz said. "I am sick and tired of having to deny a new rumor every weekend."
