Robert Kubica thread

[BDunnell]

Yes, he crashes a lot, he should crash less if he wants to achieve something.
You know it.
I know it.
NOT knows it.
He also knows it.

Do you think he goes to rally with attitude to crash? He wants to improve on that and he made it clear, but he also doesn't want to loose too much speed, because according to him, driving slowly also isn't the way to go. That's because the car behaves and works differently when being pushed, you learn more about the car, setup etc, when you are closer to the limit. That's why he tries to balance this somehow, but it's clear he is not there yet. Time will tell if he find his way or continue to fail.
I just don't get why it's that annoying for some of you, let him be. He is not stealing seat from anybody, so why do you care? And don't say it's about safety, because that's just BS.

I believe it's all but impossible for someone to switch disciplines to the modern 'flat out all the time' WRC and expect either to succeed or not crash a lot. He's merely doing what you have to do to win these days, namely be on the limit constantly with no let-up. It's not surprising that he should, generally, set some blinding stage times and then crash. Twenty-five or so years ago he would probably have been sensational.

Yesterday Kubica was driving Lamborghini Huracán and testing Pirelli tires on Autodromo Monza. Some pictures here. There are of course already rumors about him taking part in the actual race on April 11-12, but in my opinion it's not going to happen.

Bad news about Kubica. According to Auto Hebdo after his conflict with M-Sport Kubica now has a conflict with A-Style. It is not sure what car and in what team he will be driving. What's wrong with this guy?!

Kubica wasn't satisfied about cooperation with M-Sport but I wouldn't describe it as a conflict.

Generally it's not a problem with Kubica. It's a problem with media today which publishing any stupid unconfirmed rumors to achieve more clicks.

"I can tell you for sure that I really missed not being in Argentina competing and I will be driving again in the Rally of Portugal," he said.

"Like I said, we'll work on the team and the structure and we'll come back for round five."

It's a shame that Robert didn't drive in Argentina.
