Difficult weekend comes to an end for BMW Sauber

The BMW Sauber F1 team look back at a difficult weekend in Budapest. In Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix Robert Kubica managed to score one single point but both Kubica and team mate Heidfeld struggled on track.

Speaking about his race Robert Kubica said: "This was a difficult race. We were very slow and I was struggling with the overall grip of the car. I had massive oversteer and could not really push. I was trying hard to keep the car on the track. Anyway, one point is better than nothing."

Nick Heidfeld was also not that positive about his performance on Sunday. He commented: "My start wasn't perfect but okay. As I had hoped, I was able to overtake three cars on the first lap. But later it became more difficult than expected to race with the heavy car. We went for a one stop strategy, so my car was almost full of fuel at the start and I also had to take care of the tyres. I couldn't match the pace of the cars in front of me. Now we have to analyse today's lack of race pace. Normally this is one of our strengths!"
