Robert Kubica: "I like street circuits"

Robert, last weekend you scored some more points in Spain, but at the end of the race you were a bit disappointed…
Robert Kubica: "It was a bit frustrating because I had a difficult first lap and lost three positions, which compromised the rest of my race. I also had a contact with Kobayashi and damaged the car. Even with the damage , I was surprised by my good pace and I was able to follow Sutil after my pit stop. But as we know it is difficult to overtake in Barcelona and there was no opportunity to overtake him. Although it was encouraging to see our good pace over the weekend, I felt we should have taken more points."

Looking ahead to Monaco, is it a race you like and what are your expectations for the weekend?
Robert Kubica: "I have always liked racing on street circuits, in particular Monaco, and I have always done well there. There are positive and negative aspects of Monaco for our car, so it is difficult to know how competitive we will be until the free practice on Thursday. Furthermore, as we saw in Barcelona, ​​qualifying will be very important, because overtaking is even more difficult in Monaco. If you want to get good points you have to qualify ahead and avoid mistakes."

What is the secret to a good set-up in Munich?
Robert Kubica: "It's about having a car that is responsive and easy to drive. To find those few tenths you need a car that gives you the confidence to really push to the limit and almost kiss the barriers with the tyres. I expect a Even more challenging race this year with a full tank of petrol and therefore with the car less reactive."
