Eric Boullier does not understand Morelli

After waiting for Robert Kubica's response for several months, Lotus-Renault finally announced this week that the Pole would not be back at the start of next season. But Daniele Morelli quickly reacted by retorting in the Gazette dello Sport that if the state of health of his protégé remained uncertain, he could very well return to the wheel for the first races of the 2012 Championship. Eric Boullier nevertheless assures that the manager had approved the announcement.

“We agreed with Daniele Morelli to announce the news because it was clear that Robert would not be able to compete at the start of the next season with us”, explains the main team of the British team. “He approved the ad and everything was fine. Now, for some unknown reason, he is turning his coat around. I will not comment further as it is a waste of time. We were professional in my opinion. We waited a long time for his response and we remain at his disposal if he wants to do tests with us. »
