Four-way battle for the championship - Kubica
By BMW Sauber F1 Team
July 16 2008
Although Robert Kubica is only two points behind the World Championship leaders after nine races, nothing has changed in his approach to the Grands Prix. With one victory, four podium places, and 46 points to his name after nine races, Robert is currently fourth in the Drivers' World Championship.

Not only does this mean the Pole has twice as many points as he did at this point last season, but he is also right in the thick of the fight for the Formula One title. Only two points separate Robert from the three drivers currently tied for the lead in the World Championship: Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), Felipe Massa and Kimi Räikkönen (both Ferrari).

"This has not changed my approach to the races," says Robert. "I still want to pick up as many points as possible every weekend, and get as much as possible out of the car. If you are still in with a chance of winning the championship in the final race, then you can start to think about taking the title. At the moment, however, I am taking it one race at a time."

The BMW Sauber F1 Team driver feels that four drivers are currently in with a chance of winning the World Championship - including himself. However, Robert is not willing to name a favourite, as "the season still has a long way to go. There are still another nine races. A lot can happen in that time, particularly if races are held in tricky track conditions, like at Silverstone. There is still a lot of racing to be done."
