i know i have been one of his biggest detractors but only from a driving standpoint hopefully he is o.k.

I hope he is ok as well.
One of the Fox commentators just said an F1 spokesman said he is ok and stable.
That is what I heard - thank god!
Shaken, but not broken.
Thank god, I feared the worst.
Yes, he is ok but going to the hospital just to be sure.
This is all part of the CRAZIEST race I have ever seen!!
That was nasty indeed, but I'm so glad he's ok.
Did the McLaren person talking to Hamilton say he'd broken something? It cut to an advert.
RD said his leg is broken. :(
Bring out Vettel
Just overheard the pit telling that Kubica had broken something but it went to adverts and didb't hear!
Amazing though he is in one piece after that. Testament to the strength of F1 cars.
I say it's a proof of how strong those cars are to come out of that accident only with a broken leg.
Fox said Kubica broke his leg
It's unbelievable that he's got only a broken leg. When i saw the crash i said - that is, he is maybe already ......, you know. I remembered the crash ot Greg Moore at Fontana.
He is a very, very lucky guy ....
Yeah - Bob Varsha said broken leg but that hasn't been confirmed.
glad to hear this! this was a serious accident
yes it was. I was quite nervous when I saw him not moving. It immediatly made me think of Roland Ratzenburger....
Indeed, luckily things have moved on now and the cars are so safe.Quote:

A broken leg might be severe if there is significant nerve damage. Let's hope that he is ok and can come back ASAP.
On another note, did trulli push him into that accident, and if so, I wonder what FIA will do
its indeed reminded me the Roland Rat'r accident though...
terrible, Kubica escaped with a broken leg.
get well soon mate!
i feared the worse, that was one of the worst impacts i've seen in F1 for a long time, just that initial head on could have been a tragedy not to mention the other hits and rolls he endured.
To have escaped with "only" a broken leg is testamony to the safety of the modern F1 car, and to the HANS designers, i hope he is fit again soon and makes it back on the grid, get well soon Robert :up:
That was an awful crash and even with the hans device his head was moving lots from the impacts.
It would have been much worse if he had collected someone as he rolled across the track.
Seeing him tossed about like a rag doll as he came to a halt, I truly thought that the 13 year grace period had come to an end. Hearing the news that he had survived the accident (albeit with a broken leg) was a huge relief. I wish him a speedy recovery, and wish Glock or Vettel all the best in his absence.
BROKEN LEG!!!??? amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!good liuck rk,,,,soooooooooooo pleased1111111111111111
I do hope he gets better soon if it indeed is a broken leg.
When accident's like that happen, I do wish they'd atleast attempt to shroud the driver from public view though.
I wish they'd stop screening replays. It was horrendous. I've seen it 3 times now, and I never ever want to see it again.Quote:

I have to admit that I got a bit un-manly when I saw the crash. When the car came to a stop and you could see into the cock-pit I had to change channels.
I still don't know what caused him to go off :confused:
That accident had me sweating like a pig... I was happy and yet gutted for him that he has a broken leg. Happy that he's alive but gutted that he'll miss a lot of racing, where he really is a superstar.
I wish him the best and quickest of recoveries.
Lucky guy, that was gut wrenching to watch. The Hans device probably saved his life ...
He had a massive run on a Toyota (Trulli, I think). They came together on the right side of the track when they should have been lining up on the left to take the hairpin.

second, one the worst acedent for all for a long time, third of all it will be more than likely be Vettel, how many races that Kubica will be off, Glock will have to GP2 when back to Europe, I dont think that Vettel will have any WSR series weekend when the F1 is on. Only thing is that would Red Bull let him to drive.
Main thing is 'get well soon Kubica,'
I always seem to notice places the track could be improved, saftey-wise, before a big one happens.
Before the '04 Indy GP I said they should've extended the "SAFER" barrier on the frontstretch for the F1 guys who round the corner backwards, and on race day RS clouted the wall there, just beyond where the SAFER barrier ends.
Now, I noticed the lack of a tyre barrier infront of the concrete wall that actually turns inward and faces the direction of the cars head on. Unfortunately, that was the wall Kubica hit today.
There should have been a tyre barrier there.
Wishing you best Kubica, you made a fan of me last year, and I do think you have potential to go on and achieve great things.
I accept this as part of motor racing and I don't think they should shy away from replays.
The replay was at a bad angle so I don't know if Trulli moved over (he did have someone fast approaching on his left) or if Kubica didn't have enough time to brake...
Thank god he is ok though.
I read that that it is expected to keep him out for around 2 months :(

Thats one damaged car. The wheels came off, and we all know too well how dangerous that can be.
Lucky one there. Hope he gets well soon, and stronger than before.
I thought i saw his leg out of the cockpit. Scary very scary, wish him alot of health.
KUBICA car was flying ! That remember me the wing car many years ago !

glad theat Kubica is ok, however it looks to have put an end to his season. I know its not the right time to say but I wonder how will take his seat
I quite agree, especially as it was a massive accident and he wasn't moving. They should just cut away and show smething else. When Senna had his accident the BBC had their own camera there and cut away from the official coverage which I believe wasn't pleasant. TV Directors should remember his family, friends and team members watching, does seem insensitive.Quote:

Why? I think they should show the truth that motorsports can be dangerous so that the drivers and the spectators will never forget it. If they do, they will become more reckless.Quote:
