Oksana Kosachenko: Petrov and Kovalainen will have an equal status at Caterham

Vitaly Petrov’s manager Oksana Kosachenko insisted the Russian driver and his partner Heikki Kovalainen will have an equal status in the Caterham racing team.

«As far as I know, the two Caterham drivers will have an equal status in the team,» Kosachenko told RIA Novosti.

«As for [Formula 1 promoter] Bernie Ecclestone, he spoke to us [during the negotiations – Sports.ru], tried to help us. But the talks with Caterham were our private business, no one else participated in them,» she added.
