    And in other interview he said that he will start rallying after his F1 career. He's very focused on what he is doing right now. All the other things like partying are left aside. I know that it's really hard so that's why I really respect this guy.
    Blessed are the woodheads since when the flood will arise they won't drown.

    Me too

    I would have given anything to have such conditions, provided there is snow and ice on the gravel roads, of course.

    Many, many years ago, I was in charge of snow clearing at Island Bend during the construction of the tunnel to Geehi and Lake Eucumbene and Jindabyne pumping station.

    There I had opportunities to learn how to drive on snow and ice. Later I was transferred to Khancoban and had the opportunity to drive home to Island Bend via Schlink's Pass. (a locked gated gravel transmission line access road in the alpine highlands)

    What a wonderful experience driving on these roads. Driving under such conditions gives an adrenelin rush like you wouldn't believe. If I had the money, I would have continued to compete in rallies. Unfortunately, I didn't have money to burn and a family home was my priority.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    I heard about him standing with the spectators, and it shows what a good guy he is.

    This is why I couldn't see him fitting in at Ferrari like some are saying.

    Kubica is fast becoming one of my favourites. Dare I say, the biggest favourite for my right now, after Schumacher has gone on to pension.

    "I like the system of rallying and once you find a good place, you go there and feel closer to the rally. Sometimes in F1 the fans are too far away from what is happening on the track."


    Obviously Robert hasn't spectated on Rally GBwhere the pens are further away from the track than at Silverstone!
