Sebastian was a bit too optimistic - Kubica
BMW Sauber F1 Team driver Robert Kubica blamed Sebastian Vettel for the accident between the duo at Melbourne. Kubica, who felt he could bring home a victory for his team, blames Vettel for net letting him by and believes the youngster was a bit too optimistic. Both drivers were forced to retire the race after the incident.
Kubica said: “What a disappointment! I had a chance to win this race because Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel were on soft tyres and struggling, while I was on the harder compound and was able to drive much quicker. Sebastian went wide in corner one and then he braked early. I was already in front, but he didn’t want to let me by. Then he had a lot of understeer and touched me. My front wing was under the car, therefore I crashed in corner 5. I think Sebastian was a bit too optimistic."
