Kovalainen must raise his level

Since the start of the season, Heikki Kovalainen has only managed to score points three times. With 9 units on the clock compared to 19 for his teammate Lewis Hamilton, the Finn does not completely satisfy his employers. If the latter do not plan to replace him during the season, on the other hand, he will have to show a completely different face if he wants to continue next year.

« In his own words, he hasn?t run at the level he wanted and the level we would have liked so far », Said Martin Whitmarsh. “ We all want to see Heikki achieve good results this season, and that will mean he stays with us. This is our wish. His goal in Valencia this weekend is to win? and he is capable of winning this race He continued.

For now, the team director assures that Kovalainen is not in an ejection seat and that speculation about his future is unfounded. “ We are not going to comment on rumors but I can say that we are not talking to any other drivers at the moment He concluded.
