    Why was it unnecessary? I personally think it's great that there are drivers who do it for the love of the sport, put driving above everything, above the money, the race wins, the girls...people that are so taken over by the sport that they will do all sorts of events just to get that rush.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Exactly. The opposing view is a modern one born solely of an excessive respect for the notion that the driver is a commodity rather than a sportsman.

    Yep, he was one of my favorite drivers. I think pretty much every F1 fan respected him at least and you can't fault him for what happened. He was only doing what he loved.

    Hopefully he will return but the outlook is bleak at this stage.

    Since the day of the accident I've remained hopeful that Robert would return to F1. I will continue to do so. I know at this point it is very unlikely, but I feel he is a great talent and would be a welcome addition if he returns to the grid.

    If he doesn't, I hope that he does recover to a point that he at least gets to enjoy rally once again, or any other form of motorsport he is interested in. For someone that worked so hard to get into professional motorsport, he deserves to enjoy it once again.

    From the extent of his injuries I think its lucky that he's able to look forward to living an independent life let alone get back into racing of any sort. If he gets back to rallying thats great but he won't be returning to F1.

    Joe Saward has run the same story, so it appears to be true.

    Kubica stopped Lotus talks 'months ago' - Boullier
    Lotus boss Eric Boullier has revealed there is little chance Robert Kubica will return to F1 with the Enstone based team.

    Boullier insisted: "I cannot make any assumptions about anything because I am not in contact with him anymore."

    That is great news, I think a Ford WRC seat initially limited to Tarmac events would be a PR master stroke... and I know Robert would love that!

    comeback tommorow?

    There are many rumors that we will see Robert this month in some rally. One of them is Ronde del Gomitolo di Lana (website) which will start tommorow! Original news: Kubica back behind the wheel
    Also Kubica's codriver Jakub Gerber when asked about rumors replied that he won't say anything until Monday.
    Something big is coming
