Kubica: Everything is possible now

The Pole is 12 points behind championship leader Lewis Hamilton with just two races left despite having scored only one victory this season.

Although Kubica is seen as an outsider due to the lack of pace of his car, the Pole is not ruling out a surprising result, as he reckons everything is possible.

The BMW Sauber driver is also adamant that he has a lot less to lose than his rivals.

"For the last two races, with twelve points behind, I think the two drivers in front of me have much more to lose than I have to win," Kubica told a news conference in China.

"Of course it will be good to have the fastest car, to be able to fight for poles and to be able to win races, and at that point I would say I have some chance, because in normal conditions I would be able to fight. There is no secret that lately we have dropped off pace-wise.

"Additionally, Renault and Toyota were quicker than us in Fuji so that makes my life and the team's much more difficult to compete against Ferrari and McLaren.

"But the last few races have shown up that everything is possible, due to the weather, due to the safety car, due to the first corner accident in Fuji, that racing is unpredictable so that's why we should try to do our best."

Kubica emphasised that the main reason why he is still in the title hunt is BMW Sauber's perfect reliability this year.

"I think the only way to stay in the championship was with consistency and reliability. It was just great this season. Compared to last year we have done very big progress. Last year we had many technical issues, but this year none so the biggest steps were there comparing last year from this year.

"That is why we are still in the game. Of course our position is not the best one, but if I am still among three drivers who can fight for the championship it is due to the reliability which is 100 per cent perfect this season."
