Kubica realistic expectation in Bahrain Grand Prix

BMW Sauber's start to the season has certainly not gone as well as hoped. Nick Heidfeld secured a lucky second position in Malaysia as the team gambled on leaving the German veteran on a single set of wet weather tyres, but apart from that, the team has struggled to be competitive.

While McLaren Mercedes and Renault introduced major aero updates last time out in China and Force India Mercedes have a similar package for this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, BMW Sauber - like Ferrari - continues with the standard package and await updates next time out in Spain.

"This is the reality, that we didn’t get any big upgrades until now and we will not get any here as well, just a few really small ones," the realistic Robert Kubica stated today at the Sakhir circuit.

"It’s not really frustration, this is the situation," he continued.
"We are waiting for the Barcelona package which will probably be a big step forward, we hope so, but as you know, everybody else is working as well. Everybody is expecting to move forward in Barcelona with their new aero packages, everyone is working, so we have to see how we will be compared to them in Barcelona."

Kubica's best result from the opening three rounds of the championship is 13th secured in Shanghai.
