BMW Sauber is to make a late call on whether or not to use its Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) in this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
The team is set to wait until Friday evening to decide whether or not to fit the device to at least one of its cars for the Sepang race.
Nick Heidfeld was the sole BMW Sauber driver using KERS in Australia, and the team will evaluate the potential advantages of it during free practice today before deciding what to do.
"We will take the decision at every track by Friday evening at the latest," said Theissen. "Sometimes we might decide on Thursday, but here it will likely be Friday.
"Our simulations say the advantage here will be very similar to Melbourne."
Robert Kubica, who is heavier than Heidfeld, is unlikely to use KERS at most races this year because of the weight distribution compromises that need to be made if the device is fitted to his car.
