Caterham are talking to a potential buyer who could put the stricken Formula One team back in the business within weeks, according to administrator Finbarr O'Connell.
"The big elephant in the room is always the buyer, but I am honestly talking to somebody who would like to take this over within the next month," the Irishman said after the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi.
Caterham competed in that race, after sinking into administration and missing the previous two grands prix, thanks to money raised through an online crowd funding initiative with regular fans chipping in.
