Kubica’s Manager Hints Villeneuve not to Return to BMW Sauber
Quote selected text Published August 2nd, 2006 in MainRobert Kubica is a ’sensation’, according to the Polish press which has begun to leap onto the bandwagon as the 21-year-old is promoted into the BMW-Sauber race seat in Hungary. Newspaper ‘Zycie Warszawy’ made the ’sensation’ claim, but on Wednesday the former test driver’s manager revved up speculation that the Budapest bombshell is the beginning of the end for the man he replaces, Jacques Villeneuve.
Although BMW carefully worded its press statement on Tuesday, manager Marcin Czachorski suggested to dpa in an interview that 35-year-old Villeneuve will not be returning to the race berth.
”The most important thing is that BMW does not look outside of the team for a replacement for Villeneuve,” he said. Czachorski recalled the phone call from team chief Mario Theissen as ‘like lightening from a cheerful sky’. ”The joy is enormous,” he admitted, ”but we do not lose contact with reality.”
