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’.
