    I've been mighty impressed with Kubica this season. Qualifying second in Melbourne and onto a sure podium before his Beemer crapped out on him, and then a second in Malaysia. The BMW F108 is improving at a rapid rate too. So who thinks Kubica can when himself a race this year? A podium? A pole? Maybe even be a contender in the championship? BMW is clearly the best of the rest, and since Massa blows dogs for quarters, he will probaly finish races higher than he expects. He's a very respectable guy, loves racing, and deserves a Ferrari seat a hell of a lot more than Massa does.

    I think RK definitely has a chance, he is in a top car and is a top driver. If BMW continues developing at this pace, we should expect some wins from RK and NH and maybe even a WCC or WDC.
    RK has better chances than Massa does right now.

    I don't understand why everyone is so in love with Kubica. I still think Heidfeld is a great driver and at least right now he has more points than Kubica.

    If you don't understand why people like him, watch more of the Q sessions and races. He can drive there is no doubt about it.
    With a better team I think he would be even better.

    Every since Kubica took over for Jack V he was fast. Now that he finally has a good car and isn't injured (Canada last year) we are beginning to see his potential.

    Post# 3500 :D

    He's gonna win one this year. BTW, his "Beemer" (refers to 2 wheel BMWs, not 4) did not "crap out" on him in Melbourne...he got rammed up the arse by Nakajima whilst still under safety car conditions.

    Cheers

    He already has finished on the podium. 2nd in Malaysia. I've been a big fan of his from the time he finished on the podium when Schumacher announced his retirement.

    Does no one remember that it took RK to kick some life into NH after he replaced JV??!!!!! NH was doing nothing until RK came along and was tearing it up on the track. Some people play at the level of their competition, I think this is the problem with NH. I love the BMW team and I think they are both great drivers, one just needs motivation to be his best, thats all.

    For sure RK will get the first win.

    Uhhh...you might want to take a look at Heidfeld's performance while he was partnered with Webber the year before. Kubicka didn't kick start anything, Heidfeld is simply a better driver.

    I agree.

    I am still not sure of Kubicka, he had a great race in Malaysia but there are times when Heidfeld simply runs away from him. Kubicka may be a very good driver but I think Heidfeld has really stepped up his game...perhaps because he knows his career depends on it.

    I think Heidfeld will win one before Kubicka but I would not be surprised if either of them win this season.

    i agree that Heidfeld is a much more faster and tidier driver.

    he needs to get rid fo his beard tho, seems to slow him down compared to Kubik :D

    I have to admit its pretty easy to slip in a jab at Massa for a post.

    Heidfeld always seems to have a different haircut every race, sometimes he has a beard or long hair or sometimes he doesn't.
