Enough of courage

Kubica reminds that rallying is 100 times more popular than F1 in Poland. Therefore he understands Kimi Räikkönen's choice to change the F1-tracks to WRC-rallies very well.

– If I would feel like changing the scenery I believe that my courage would also had been so strong that I could have done the same. In the end Kimi will become a pioneer for the thing that has been my goal for many years.

– First I want to be in the top 3 in F1 on a regular basis and after that try to do the same in WRC.

What do you expect from Räikkönen in rally this year?

– Kimi starts from scratch. Yet he is a very talented driver and if he is as fast as he was in last year's rallies then his season will go well, Kubica thinks.

Kubica started his F1-work last week after he went to Enstone factory for the seat-fitting to the R30-car that will be presented on January 31th and he also had a meeting with his new team manager Eric Bouillier.
