Kubica: Better being in F1 than sitting on sofa watching it on TV

Speaking to Motorsport Network ahead of the British Grad Prix, the Williams driver said, "I am not regretting what I decide. Frustration is not a correct word, because in the end it is still better being here than sitting on the sofa and watching Formula 1 on the television.

"Definitely I would be more happy if I was fighting higher up and having less problem, but all in all, in these last months, unfortunately, this difficult situation puts a lot of shadow on what I achieved and how big achievement it was for me to be back here.

"This is something which I also forget, because F1 is a fast sport and everything happens very fast, so you somehow live day-by-day. You forget that in the end I achieved something which I was working on for many years."

"I even had people in Abu Dhabi [last year at time of announcement] saying: Well, congratulations, big job. Because the comeback was achieved. And I said: well, the difficult [part] starts now. My past years were not easy for different reasons, but F1 is a high-level sport, which is very very competitive and very very tough.

"In very short periods you went from very high to very low, with the same people, with the same equipment. From one side it cannot really be more difficult, because I have big respect for this sport and I think how difficult it can be to race in F1. But definitely, it is more complicated."

Kubica's reality is that every race weekend he steps into a race car that is three to four seconds off the pace, "In the past you had up and downs, but you knew that if you manage to sort few things you will be competitive.

"Now we are so far behind, that even if the others they have downs or they have [problems], they have so big margin on us, that anyway we are not even in touch with them. This is something which probably is most annoying," added Kubica.
