Kubica expects to be at the front in Spain

Robert Kubica expects to be fighting at the front at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix despite a major test session last week which has seen all major teams introduce major upgrades to their cars, which could shake up the order.

"I think we will have a more predictable race than the first three overseas Grands Prix," Kubica insisted. "The conditions this time round are completely different. All the teams know the Barcelona circuit like the back of their hands because we do a lot of testing here. That's why I expect the gaps between the teams to become a lot smaller than in the last races."

"Everyone will be coming to the season's first European grand prix on top form," he added. "I guess all the teams will be lining up with an improved car. But at the same time that means we also have to get the maximum out of the BMW Sauber F1.08. If we manage that, and since the latest test in Barcelona I am firmly convinced we will, I'll be racing right up at the front again. My goal is to achieve a good result to earn as many points as possible for myself and the team."
