It depends what you define 'better' as. Driving quickly or driving slower and getting to the end.
Again, I point to Robert's disability, I think what he does is amazing regardless of comparisons to other drivers.

the challenge in racing is driving to the end as fast as you can. there's no point in driving faster if that means you can't make it to the end.Quote:

most of the times he just brakes too late or goes too fast in a corner. the rest of his accidents are mostly because of a wrong line.
Don't you realize that most of his problems during this season are due to running own team?Quote:

Yeah, that's the reasons of majority of all rally crashes, not only Kubica's. We all know he makes mistakes, so what is the point in this? And now please prepare a similar compilation of Latvala, Neuville, Prokop or Ostberg crashes. You know, actually, you pick any wrc driver and have fun.Quote:

And i think there are really not many, i can't even name 3 drivers right now, that could be deliver a better performance and/or speedwise than Kubica. Like so many times: how more people think the same about something how harder you choose the opposite. Sad isn't it...
Nice effort finding all those videos, I thought it was funny.
Yes but the point is Kubica's is having problems everytime, every rally, not sometimes like the drivers you mentioned. He had also M-Sport behind him in 2014 and screwed it up, now he has his own team but it's not good that either... I wonder what should be ok then.Quote:

As it has been said billion of times, a rally doesn't finish at the end of the first stage or the first morning. You can be fast as much as you want but if you are not able to finish it keeping that speed without problems (unless you go slow like Prokop) than that speed has no sense, it doesn't count and at the end we can fairly say that it doesn't exist. It's good for spectators on that single stage, ok, but you don't win the game if you cheer the fans for one stage, you win it on sunday and he has always been far from it.Quote:
