No progress ahead for Kubica: “We have no solution”

The unpredictable nature of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix may raise some hopes among fans of Williams. After all, Lance stroll had pulled off the hold-up of the 2017 season by finishing third! Two years later, the chances of a podium finish are highly improbable, according to Robert Kubica.

“In Baku, anything can happen, the Pole told our special correspondents Thursday morning. But from what we have seen in the first three races it looks very complicated (to enjoy the adventures of this race. Editor's note), if not even impossible. Last year, the Williams were much closer to the other teams compared to today. »

 

The 2 WRC2013 world champion is the only driver on the grid who has not already driven on this fast track. “It will be the first time in almost nine years that I will drive on an urban route. The last time was in Singapore in September 2010! I'm looking forward to it, I've always enjoyed driving between the rails. You don’t have to worry too much and just go there and discover this circuit”, He explains.

Robert Kubica does not hide it, he is struggling to get back into the peloton. To his best credit after three races, a 16th place acquired in Bahrain. " There are elements that disrupt the balance of the car without you expecting it. This can also happen between sessions. For example, from one session to another, the car can behave radically differently. We have to understand this. »

 

This curious evil is not about to be resolved. “From what I know, the guys at the factory are looking at it and trying to figure it out. At the moment we do not have a solution. I had never experienced that before in my career. »

Even if he plays no role at the start of the 2019 season, the Polish returnee is happy to be in the paddock. “I always enjoy driving a single-seater, it's still preferable to watching the Grand Prix on television. Obviously, it would be better to have more performance, but I like to tweak the settings and solve the problems that arise. It's nice to feel emotions that I wouldn't have felt staying at home. »
