We are not looking at the other teams too much - Kubica

Robert Kubica is confident that the BMW Sauber F1 Team will present itself as a powerful unit in Melbourne. A Polish proverb aptly sums up the reason for his optimism. In less than four weeks, the "Albert Park Circuit" will stage the first showdown of the Formula One season. Before the BMW Sauber F1 Team's attention is completely and utterly dedicated to the first Grand Prix weekend of the year, more tests are scheduled for the coming weeks.

Robert Kubica is happy with the progress made by the BMW Sauber F1 Team since the roll-out of the new F1.08. "We introduced some new mechanical parts and also worked on the aerodynamics, which clearly improved the car," says the Pole. "In Poland we say that 'it's not important how you start, it's important how you finish, so I really am convinced we are doing a good job."

The weeks prior to the start of the season are very busy for all members of the team. There is great pressure on the experts to eliminate any possible weaknesses, and constantly improve the car's performance. Robert confirms: "Everybody in the team is totally determined to make the F1.08 as quick as possible. We have a well-planned schedule of steps we are going to carry out before the first race. At this stage of the preseason tests, we are not looking at the other teams too much. It's quite normal that everybody only shows their full potential at the start of the season in Australia."
