Kubica wants no more qualifying errors

The Pole failed to get a second run in final qualifying in Australia after running out of time, and the team made the same mistake again in Sepang last weekend.

Kubica, who is yet to score a point this season after two troubled races, is hoping there will be no repeat of the same errors in Bahrain.

"I hope so for sure," Kubica told a press conference ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

"In Australia it didn't cost us but in Malaysia's case we paid quite a big price for this mistake and I am pretty sure that it was two positions, even three, and in F1 where you start is very important.

"But how the race went it did not make a big difference because we faced a problem at the beginning of the race. We have to take this mistake as lessons and don't repeat them again."

Kubica retired from the Australian Grand Prix with a mechanical failure, while several problems during the race in Malaysia cost him a good result and he finished in 18th position.
