Kubica urges BMW to react and rise the game soon

That can summarize his feelings, after a disappointing qualifying in China, and with poor expectations for the coming race as well.

He spoke in an interview for Autosport, which you can read at LINK

As well, in another interview for F1.pl, he expressed his concerns:

 "I lost 2 tenths because rear tyres had blocked during braking to 11th corner. But even before overall lap was poor. In the first corner I lost much as I had much oversteer. Overall grip is much poorer than should be (IMO he refers to the simulations here). After switching to the softer tyres there should be greater grip difference but that was not the case."

"Decision no to run KERS was made due to balance issues and not tyre wear"

"Not all the heavier drivers have problems with KERS. I know some who weight as much as I do but it's not a problem for them. It seams that our car is very sensitive about weight distribution" (that's really great work by BMW BTW).

"Putting KERS out of the car didn't made balance significantly better on the softer tyre".

"We can see here that some teams already have updates while we have the same care as it was in Oz".

"Bahrain circuit should suit as better as the downforce is not as much important there"
