NEXT RACE - 7th September

Kubica downplays talk of his future

Saturday 17th May 2008

Robert Kubica is refusing to let speculation about his future distract him from his task at hand, which is to bag as many points as he can for BMW.

Kubica is out of contract with the German team at the end of this season, however, BMW do have a one-year option on him which they can choose to exorcise.

But should they opt to do that it must be done before September otherwise the likes of Renault and Ferrari, who are reportedly interested in the Pole, could

poach him.

BMW, though, won't be rushed into making an announcement. "We'll announce next year's drivers in the summer," said team boss Mario Theissen.

And until the team confirms their line-up speculation about Kubica's future will continue as the Pole's impressive results this season have attracted the

attention of other teams.

Kubica, though, isn't allowing talk of his future to distract him from the job at hand.

"I don't know," he told Autosport when asked about his plans for next year.

"Every day there is some new rumour, it was same as two weeks ago, one week ago. I have no new information."

Kubica refused to reveal whether there was any one team he had his hopes set on signing for. "I would just like the best option for me, but we will see what

it will be," he said.

"For now I am just concentrating on this year and doing the best job possible. Then we will have to see."
