    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.

    I understand your criticism of the way he drives, but why you actually are so obsessed with his ugliness? Let's be honest, no one likes ugliness in people because that's how our brains work but pointing that out all the time is just in bad taste.

    So, and, therefore.... What of it he has propensity? Does he do something about it, or just stays with it's propensity and doesn't know what to do?
    Yes, he is perfectionist by definition, but not by heart.

    That's why I wrote he seems stubborn. As I said I think he really work hard but in the wrong direction.

    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?

    To say that if you need experience the last thing you do is driving like him.

    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...
