– Have you thought about next season Vitali in "Formula 1"? Yes, Petrova contract for two years, but in all sports is rapidly changing. Is there any concern about that? – Today I am absolutely calm about the future of Vitali. He has a valid contract for 2012. Now there is a question that we can offer a team for next season. We do not yet know who will partner Vitali: to have a strong partner like Robert Kubica, or speak with a young athlete, which is also quite possible and feasible, – two completely different situations. After the events of February with Robert Vitali was the team leader. For him it was an additional psychological stress. In addition, we do not know what kind of car will provide the team, whether this car help to ensure that the pilot level Vitaly Petrov was in command. I will not hide if he is now leading in the individual competition, then we would have conducted negotiations with the top teams and tried to get out of the situation. But in any case it should be said that the accident Robert Kubica and his prolonged absence of a few pushed our team back. Therefore, it can not technically look as good as it could. – Nevertheless, negotiations with other teams were? – Is underway. Yes, we have a valid contract, but life does not end in 2013, when the contract ends. So the talks are only this time. – With the teams level of negotiations? It's about four, which is above the "Lotus-Renault," – "Red Bull", "McLaren", "Ferrari" and "Mercedes"? – I would say about the big five. – Vitali said earlier that he was under contract does not receive a salary in the "Lotus-Renault." Will something change in this regard? – Yes, he has no salary. Talks about how to be finally assessed and paid the money, are underway. Perhaps, changes will occur. – What is the result of Petrov is found to be satisfactory for the championship? – To pilot a satisfactory result – a victory in the championship. But we all know that to win Petrova in the individual event so far away. For me it would be enough space in the top ten. – What they say in the team? As far as she pleased with the results of Petrov? – The team with the most, there are some mistakes, she can not аск a pilot to 100 percent. It makes no sense to bring a claim Petrov, yet absolutely perfect car. On the other hand, a professional driver must be able to control the fireball in any condition. This was Kubica, he thoroughly knew, what is done. Vitali is just learning, though he is no stranger to him so many trails are already familiar. And last year, many stages of passage Do a clean slate. The team now makes more demands on Vitali, but we hope that it will adequately assess its results. The main thing is that after each finish, training sessions, tests have been detailed assessment and analysis. – What is the situation with Kubica? It was reported that he may return to the "Grand Prix of Brazil." Who in this case, a pair of Heidfeld – Petrov will be out of competition? – First of all I must say that the contract is concluded in Petrov to harsh conditions. What is the situation in Heidfeld, I do not know. I suppose that talking about Robert must first team Kubica. Yes, there is hope that Robert will attend the race at Interlagos, can even participate. I wish him a speedy recovery. Robert just a good racer and a great guy. – What is a contract for the harsh conditions? – Vitali – prize pilot "Lotus-Renault" in 2011 and 2012. Sergei MAVRIN
