Swiss motorsport publication Speedweek reveals that Robert Kubica does not want to drive alongside German Nick Heidfeld at Renault F1 Team.
Heidfeld will most probably be named third driver at Mercedes Grand Prix next week, working with Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher.
The magazine says Kubica was heard saying to Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Buemi over the phone that 1997 F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve would be his teammate at Renault in 2010.
Auto123.com tried desperately to reach Villeneuve -- currently in Europe – by phone but was unable to. This may prove that Villeneuve is working on something solid and does not want to be disturb.
The new Renault R30 will be unveiled Sunday at Valencia, Spain.
Meanwhile, Russian Vitaly Petrov, who can bring some 15 millions of dollars in sponsorship is in a (very) good position to get the drive in the second Renault car.
