Kubica is not gentle

In the fight for first place in the world championship, Robert Kubica experienced a tough return to the ranks in just a few months. Having left on Saturday from Q2, the Swiss single-seaters cannot claim a good result in Monaco. “ We have to realize that we are bad, asserts Kubica. So far we have only had difficulties. We fought on Thursday and again today. The overall performance of the car is not good enough. We have to adapt to the situation and work very hard from now on. »

If the observation seems harsh, it is correct. The BMWs lagged behind all weekend and never seemed to be able to compete in qualifying. Nick Heidfeld is even disillusioned: “ It's very frustrating to push the car to the limit, to take all the risks - especially on this circuit - and not achieve any results. We don't know what's wrong. » However, the German pilot recognizes that solutions have been tried. “ We made a lot of changes on Thursday after free practice. And again this morning, even if it's risky just before qualifying. But we had nothing to lose. And, in any case, it hasn't changed much. » From now on, BMWs will have to prove that their car does not deserve to regularly visit the back of the starting grid.
