He has spoken his mind and nice to hear his views rather than some manufactured corporate gobbledy-gook.

BMW did shoot themselves in the foot by not throwing themselves behind him. If they gave him a quick car the year afterwards then there would have been some justification but it was a dog. As far as Kubica see it, he had a realistic chance at the title and they pulled the rug out from under his feet.

If it were me, I would be p*ssed too.

Realistically they were not going to win a championship. Kubica is a good driver, not a great one. Full stop. He also has gone out of his way to take a shot at the old management of a team that is now not in the sport.

The message he just basically told the f1 world is that he doesn't take ownership for his own failures, and he will bad mouth anyone in the sport based on his lack of success.

You can be right, and he may be in this case, but there is something to be said by just keeping one's mouth shut until after he retires. IF I am looking for a driver, I am not going to hire a guy who will blame me if he doesn't do as well as he thinks he should. In short, why pay a guy to slag you 3 years later?

Besides, he had no problem with how BMW was run when they dumped JV to let him drive. I guess they were discriminating against him then too?
