Motorsport.com understands that the Mexican driver is set to part ways with the Trulli squad, with Trulli himself to stand in for the Putrajaya weekend, the 41-year-old to race alongside fellow Italian Vitantonio Liuzzi.

It is expected that the news will be officially confirmed tomorrow.

Trulli finished 20th in last year's Formula E championship, with a best result of fourth in Uruguay.

Duran's departure from the team comes after a difficult start to the new season for the Trulli squad, which included missing the first round in Beijing.
