Rally Sweden provided a host of challenges for Robert Kubica. Despite finishing the event in 24th place, the Pole was able to develop his knowledge and experience of the unfamiliar white surface.
After a strong start, Kubica lost all chances of a good result during the second pass of Friday's classic stages.
Becoming engulfed in the soft snow banks, the Pole twice lost 10 minutes to the leaders having to free his Fiesta from their grasp. On the final day of competition, he lost yet more time with a third brush with the white barriers.
Bringing his Fiesta home, Kubica may not have achieved the points-paying position he was capable of, but the knowledge and experience gained will be invaluable in years to come.
"I have to say that I was looking forward to finishing this rally, and we have done that. We made mistakes, but I know the reasons for them," confirmed Kubica.
"By driving slowly and carefully I don't drive like I should be and have more moments and more mistakes than when I'm driving fast."
