Robert Kubica – or his replacement – will probably have a different race engineer for this weekend’s US grand prix.
It is reported by adrivo.com that BMW-Sauber’s top test engineer, Ossi Oikarinen, was in Montreal at the weekend — presumably to learn the ropes.
Kubica’s regular engineer, the Iranian Mehmi Ahmadi, has apparently still not been granted a visa to enter the United States for this weekend’s race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
“We are still waiting for the visa,” BMW spokesman Jorg Kottmeier confirmed.
He said: “If he cannot get it, Oikarinen will do his job in Indianapolis.”
