Not great in Britain

© ph-stop Kubica: Failed to finish Share:

Robert Kubica disappointingly failed to finish in last weekend’s British Grand Prix, almost certainly putting an end to any thoughts there may have remained of challenging for the title. “The first laps were fantastic and I managed to make up a number of places, but then the speed wasn’t too good. There wasn’t enough grip. And then we had a technical problem. It was probably the half shaft,” Kubica told Przeglad Sportowy.

After the race Jackie Stewart told the same paper, “Things like this happen in Formula 1, but this isn’t the moment to debate his future with the French team. Kubica has a right to feel disappointed.” Just last week Kubica signed a new two year contract with Renault, and already some people are questioning the Pole’s wisdom in staying with the team.

“When I signed for Renault last year, a lot of people said it was a mistake, but I was right. I got what I expected, and the indications are there that we can be competitive in future,” commented Kubica.
