Robert Kubica’s manager has hinted that the Polish driver is not likely to change teams ahead of the 2011 season.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old moved from BMW to Renault this year, but amid his strong performances it has been rumoured he could switch to Ferrari to replace Felipe Massa.<\/p>\n
But it is believed Massa is now close to extending his contract.<\/p>\n
Speaking in Turkey last weekend, Kubica insisted it is “not the time” to be contemplating “whether I will be staying with Renault or not”.<\/p>\n
When asked about the Ferrari gossip, his manager Daniele Morelli told Finland’s Turun Sanomat: “It appears that is a desire perhaps by some journalists rather than actual news.”<\/p>\n
Kubica is a healthy sixth in the world championship, ahead of rivals including Massa and both of the Mercedes drivers.<\/p>\n
“Robert does not make mistakes.\u00a0 His results are the best he is able to do when he does not have a winning car,” said Morelli.<\/p>\n
“When he led the championship two years ago, we were firmly attached contractually to BMW, and then his car was weaker last year when we were finding a new team.<\/p>\n
“Right now, we do not need any interest in Robert except from within his own team, so that the car can be developed to be even more competitive,” he added.<\/p>\n
Morelli said Kubica feels much happier with the Enstone based team than he was with BMW.<\/p>\n
Kubica confirmed: “Many people, when I signed for Renault, told me I was wrong, that it was a bad move.<\/p>\n
“But I’m pretty happy with my decision and I hope I can rely on my decision-making for the future.”<\/p>\n
