Kubica confident for Bahrain

Robert Kubica is confident he can have another strong weekend at the wheel of his BMW in Bahrain after claiming a solid second place finish at the Malaysian Grand Prix last weekend.

"I'm looking forward to the race in Bahrain, for one thing because last year it was where I picked up my first points of the 2007 season, and for another because we have had a strong start to the season in Australia and Malaysia," said Kubica. 

"The circuit in Bahrain is quite different from Melbourne and Sepang," he added. "It has long straights with hard braking zones. Plus there are hardly any fast turns. The wind could play a major role here, but I hope it isn't too strong because our car reacts quite sensitively. Of course we'll have to just see how the F1.08 performs on this circuit, but I'm confident that we can be very competitive here as well." 

Kubica and BMW are in pursuit of their maiden F1 victory this season.
