Don't want to transform a rally forum in a semantic forum but...
per·fec·tion·ism (pər-fĕk′shə-nĭz′əm)
n.
1. A propensity for being displeased with anything that is not perfect or does not meet extremely high standards.
So, one can have a propention but not be perfect. Kubica does apparently, other kind of people don't.Last edited by AL14; 16th March 2015 at 21:36.

I think Kubica has a professional approach that is near perfectionism, you have to if you've reached F1, even being a potential future world champion. Due to an accident he was forced to do something else. Now 2015, he has chosen the path of his own team; car , tyres ,etc etc all within available budgets and possibilities. If you see how dedicated he is, how he handles his disability, how he takes the recce with endless discussions with his co driver, his approach is utter professionalism and you could sense he took his perfectionalism to the rally sport. Only thing he lacks is experience and mileage, and maybe after the period he set himself to decide whether he is talented enough to do this job, he can make the next step in his career, as perfectionists tend to do.

Ah yeah, the mileage. How the crashes help in that?

Of course any moment that doesn't allow to go further causes to miss mileage, why are you even asking this?

Al is right, with every crash he misses the opportunity to do more and learn more. Driving on the limit is not always the thing someone should do, depending on the priority this can vary....

I get that, but maybe he doesn't have time to go Evans' route by going slower and to try increase pace by little bit every year. Or if he wants to get to a factory team he knows that they're quite a lot of drivers who can drive just to get 'some' points, but there are not too many who can win a rally? I don't think there are too many people you actually know what he is thinking...
