Robert Kubica thread

[b3637853]

Prokop is a true rally driver, always looking at the big picture and not focusing on the moment. he could aim trophies in lowest levels but since he has the possibility he stays with the top guys. Of course he misses the talent and speed to match factory drivers times but among the privateers he can be called the best.

It's good that Prokop knows his limitations and settles for finishing events to gain places by other drivers crashes. But like liposh wrote, why couldn't he just push in his favourite rallies? I mean he might get his podium in Argentina or something but it will be pure luck. His way is ok for him, but not for Kubica.
We will see how he will do on next year's Dakar as he should good in this type of events.

For me this is really pity. I was at the beginning of his international career, in first years in JWRC I liked his motivation, style when he was always trying to fight, to improve yourself, to be faster. But later in JWRC and SWRC, he lost this "drive" and focused on reliability. And I think that this is his problem - he can go lets say on 95% of his speed constantly without mistakes. But he is not abel to switch to another level and go to his limits...

Prokop lost it somewhere between the special stage and the local Mcdonalds...

I really believe that if he suddenly stops from rallying maybe 1 or 2 guys who are autistic with counting WRC cars on each entry list will notice... he does not offer anything.

But we need to have drivers like Prokop - rallysport is not only about winner, but also about "the others". And only from this "the others" we can have new champions in future. Martin will never be champion, but at least he is good benchmark for newcomers or young drivers.

He doesn't have to. If he has passion and likes to just drive WRC car and have the possibility, then let him be.

Compared to Bertelli he´s a top driver.

In rallysport yes in the WRC no... at least not after so many years.

Prokop is smart. The money must be save and is regular without crashes and other issues. The car is reliable. I expected more from him but FIA don't support privateers to give him other objectives.

We have same history with Armindo Araújo, he was much more faster than we saw on PWRC years but losted in save car, save money,....

Why?
