Still no KERS for Kubica in Sepang?

Robert Kubica on Thursday said it has not been decided if his BMW Sauber will be fitted with KERS in Malaysia this weekend.

Last weekend in Australia, his team-mate Nick Heidfeld used the energy re-use power boost technology but Kubica - who weighs significantly more than Heidfeld - did not.

BMW has said it is assessing using KERS this season on a driver-by-driver and circuit-by-circuit basis, weighing up the power benefit against the compromise in weight distribution.

KERS is expected to be more beneficial this weekend than in Melbourne a week ago, due to the Sepang circuit's longer straights.

But Kubica said in Malaysia: "I've not decided yet.
I could have it and I could not have it. If I am not using KERS there is a reason."

He also backed Williams driver Nico Rosberg's concerns that the new trend for twilight races in Asia is ‘very dangerous’.
