'Anything can happen,' says Kubica
Robert Kubica thinks that the chance of adverse weather conditions at Interlagos could turn this year's Brazilian Grand Prix into something of a lottery.
Renault has made some big gains with its f-duct over recent races and the in-form Pole hopes that the circuit, and weather, will play into Renault's hands.
"Brazil is a bit of a strange track and it's really difficult to predict how we will perform," said Kubica. "There is a long straight out of the last corner where the f-duct will give us lots of gain and this is also where the power of the engine will be important.
"I think that we might have a lottery with the weather because Brazil gets unsettled conditions at this time of year, so it's likely we will have some wet running, as we did in 2009. When it rains the track has very poor grip and you have to be lucky to get the perfect balance with the car."
An outstanding drive saw Kubica finish second in his Sauber behind Mark Webber in 2009 and he is looking forward to renewing acquaintances with the circuit this weekend.
"You are very near the fans because the grandstands are very close, which makes the feeling on the grid very special. 95% of them are cheering for Brazilians, but it's still a nice atmosphere. I had a good result there last year, which came as a big surprise. It will be difficult to repeat it this year, but as I said the weather can play a big role at Interlagos and anything can happen there."
