Robert Kubica: “Stay realistic”

Appetite comes with eating. The supporters of Renault F1 team, pleasantly surprised by the performances of their favorite team since the start of the season, now hope that the diamond firm will be able to tickle the big four of the Formula 1.
Robert Kubica, number one driver of the French team, refuses to rest on his laurels.

“It?s important to remain realistic, declares the Polish driver on Autosport. We need to make a big leap forward to be at the front of the grid and fight regularly with Red Bull et McLaren under normal conditions. The upcoming race in Barcelona will be the next big test for us, as the return to Europe is usually a turning point in the season, with teams making various changes to their car »

It is indeed a new chapter of the 2010 Formula 1 championship which now opens. A chapter that everyone at Renault hopes will be just as successful as the previous one, which saw Eric Boullier's team grow in strength throughout the events.

?I think there are a lot of positives to take from the first races, continues the ex-BMW driver. If you had told me at the start of the season, or even after Bahrain, that I would score 40 points and be in the Top 5 three times, I would have been more than happy. However, there was also a bit of frustration, especially in Shanghai, where the safety car which intervened in the middle of the Grand Prix cost me the podium. But you have to accept it, it?s part of motorsport. Sometimes luck is with you and sometimes not. »
