Just posted to her twitter account that she has parted ways with the industrialist that has been funded her racing campaign via Nuclear/Clean Air Energy campaign/lobby.

Not too surprising seeing as Sauber dropped her due to her funding falling through.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope she returns to Indycar racing, though I would be happy to see her racing anywhere. She's a very promising driver who never seems to make any of the stupid/aggressive moves you often see from younger drivers. She was making progress in Indycar and was very well respected by everyone. Also, she's been in some gnarly, serious wrecks and always got right back up, even racing with bandaged hands after getting trapped in a burning car.

Agreed all around. She's got the potential to be a really great race car driver. I'd love to see her in Indy Car again, but I want to see her racing somewhere at least.
