Or he is the most unlucky man in the world or he just have a problem himself that in 2 years he didn't manage to solve.
    hey rally expert how many stages have you win in WRC or how many teams did you manage that you can judge pro driver? Show me any other driver who in his first season won the title and in following two seasons won 12 stages as a privater.Or I make it easier for you, compare him to Raikonen or Bertelli or any other driver with 3 years experience in rallies.

    He doesn't need to be a WRC driver to judge Kubica's performance, discussion forums wouldn't exist otherwise. I think only blind fanboys deny the fact that Robert has a huge problem controlling his speed and crashes way too much, even more than Raikkonen, Block, Duval, Latvala or who else.

    Did I missed something? Kubica crashed today?

    Even if he finishes this season without any crash, he crashes way too much.

    I don't understand the bad feeling towards Kubica.
    He is a privateer, paying to compete, and adding interest to the Rally. He can be very fast, and with that comes mistakes sometimes.
    He has a background in F1, and after a major accident he decided he could compete in Rallies.
    He can, and does, and does well.
    Sometimes his budget (or lack of) lets him down.
    He is a true competitor, competing for the passion of the sport.
    All the best to him.

    That's the way of thinking by people which see only black and white color. He crashed a lot, but you can't blame him for things he can't affect like rims failure in this case.

    So why did the rims fail?

    I think we need to take a closer look at the onboard footage from the moments they broke and the last kilometers before that, before we can judge... I don't believe anything breaks without a reason.
