For Ex-DTM-Champion Timo Scheider, Robert Kubica, who had at the opening round in Belgium two to three seconds behind the top, one of the losers of the DTM season opener was. “This is a different world and not a DTM-level,” the 41-Year-old in an interview with ‘Motorsport-Total.com’ clear words. “I feel sorry for him a little bit, because that’s how bad he drives a car that he is so far away. But it was dramatic and a big disappointment.”
in fact, the Pole, who has worked after his serious rally accident nine years ago, with a will of iron in the tips-Motorsport finds itself in a difficult position. After his frustrating Williams-Comeback in the formula 1, the BMW in the DTM is not now competitive. And when he has got used to the Class-1 cars, they have to be put into the Museum.
However, the Dilemma is, according to Scheider on Kubica’s cap. Because he’d actually need to know what he was getting into and where he is going with the funds of PKN Orlen. “If I were Robert Kubica and would have built with the money of my sponsors, a new private team, then I would not have come with the idea to take me a BMW,” says Scheider.

no DTM Insider is That Kubica, he as an Argument do not apply. “Even as a neutral observer from the outside who wants to successfully operate a Motorsport, I would have seen that it tends to be better would be to use the money to buy an Audi. For this, you do not need to be a technology expert. You have to look at just the results of the past few years.”

But the work of Kubica, who is known as a fighter, after a difficult opener at Spa-Francorchamps in the course of the season, at least, to its BMW counterparts? “We racers are very sensitive. And if there’s two, three Times a disappointment, the helplessness, and BMW has, perhaps, help anyway a bigger Problem than Kubica, then it will be difficult,” holds Separator optimism in the borders.
“It could be that BMW says: ‘We have other tasks in front of us, because we don’t care whether you’re three-tenths or a second slower. We just need to justify our Budgets and our perspective in the Motorsport at BMW. As you stand with your wish-list, rather in the back'”, see Scheider, the BMW-problems especially for the 35-year-old Krakow as a bad news.
“of course, if the would in the front to leave and five cars in the Top 8 had, then you could take him by the Hand and say: ‘It is also in the interest of BMW, that he goes after.’ Since it is likely to already support. But how large and intense the is now because of the current problems in the case of BMW, remains to be seen.”
