Robert Kubica: Spinning on formation lap the highlight of my Chinese Grand Prix

Williams driver Robert Kubica had another weekend to forget at the Chinese Grand Prix

Kubica's race in Shanghai started in bizarre circumstances, with the Polish driver spinning on the formation lap before the start of the race -- something Red Bull's Max Verstappen also did. Kubica was starting 18th and only had to reclaim one position before the cars took up their positions on the grid, which he did, meaning he started as normal.

Williams is a long way off the pace and Kubica in particular has been struggling for form. A quote in the team's post-race press release summed up how he felt about the most recent race.
