Robert Kubica is refusing to let his recent slump in form get the better of him, stating there are valuable lessons to be learnt during BMW's current period of struggle.

Kubica entered this year's championship as one of the favourites to win the world title after a stellar season in 2008 during which he claimed his maiden race win in Canada.

But, four races into the campaign, the Polish driver has yet to score a single point and he failed to reach the final qualifying shoot-out in the last two races.

Kubica, though, is remaining upbeat in the midst of a worrying time for himself and his BMW team.

"You have to take the positive aspects from winning, and the positive aspects from losing," Kubica said.

"Setbacks can make you much stronger. Actually, you can profit much more from losing than from winning.

"Of course, I enjoy the times when everything is running smoothly. However, life is always changing. Sooner or later you will have to deal with difficulties again.

"It is important to conquer these difficulties in the right mood, and to learn from them."
