Bruno Senna is confident he will be racing in Formula One next year despite talks being overshadowed by teams' financial worries.
The Brazilian got a test drive with Honda last year but the team's withdrawal from Formula One ended his hopes of a race debut this term.
Senna, 25, is in talks with four teams with one of those understood to be new entrants in Campos Racing.
The nephew of three-time world champion Ayrton Senna said: "Formula One is in a very difficult moment and this is not really helping my case very much. But one way or another I'll be racing in it next year."
