Castroneves confirms Jaguar interest

Helio Castroneves has confirmed that talks are going on to get him into a seat at Jaguar Racing, as we exclusively revealed on Saturday.

"I didn't know anything about it until Roger Penske told me he was talking to them for me," Castroneves told ESPN.com on Monday.

"I want to know what's going on and I don't have any offer yet but if it's serious I'm going to go after this. Everything is happening so suddenly. Right now I am just a driver, you know the last person to know what is going on."

Penske says that he will not get in the way of Castroneves if the Brazilian wants to go to Formula 1.
