    This here is the key factor. Every time I see him, he looks more and more of a one-armed man. It was such a tragedy that the accident happened. In full fit he could be really a winning driver in WRC, had he pursued this career. It's nice that he has the persistence and guts to continue still, in many ways he is encouraging example and there must be some passion involved as well, but - I'm not his doctor, yet I think the physical restriction is and will be his biggest obstacle forever.

    I think he was referring to his aesthetics. You know, the fact he is not handsome with turtle on his belly and blond flowing hairs.

    If he hadn't had his accident, he'd still be in F1. And with very probably more wins....

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    almost none of his crashes have something to do with his disability. he mostly just brakes too late or goes too fast.

    Which is really low, but at least he doesn't do it only with women involved in the sport like a lot of other people do, so at least he is consistent.

    I'm sorry Ucci, but you must have drunk too much over the weekend

    I'm not kidding anyone here. Poland a rich country? Where have you read such thing? Just take a look at some numbers:

    Average monthly net wage 2014 values for single person, according to Eurostat:
    1. Switzerland 5 130,92 € monthly
    2. Norway 3 850,41 €
    3. Luxembourg 3 187,82 €
    (...)
    United-Kingdom 2 810,26 €
    (...)
    Germany 2 315,20 €
    (...)
    France 2 223,89 €
    (...)
    SPAIN 1 679,21 € (this country is supposed to be in an economical crisis, right?)
    (...)
    GREECE 1 262,05 € (this country is supposed to be in an economical crisis, right?)
    (...)
    Portugal 1 056,92 €
    SLOVENIA 993,80 €
    Estonia 832,57 €
    Croatia 775,21 €
    Czech R. 725,92 €
    Slovakia 664,77 €
    POLAND 634,49 €
    Turkey 590,35 €
    Hungary 532,08 €
    Lithuania 496,23 €
    Latvia 379,22 €
    Romania 345,56 €
    Bulgaria 324,89 €

    My country is Dubai? Where did you learn economy and geography?

    There are not many rich rally sponsors in Poland and it is very sad, that Kubica wastes the huge money from Lotos on every single rally.

    My post was based on the official EU statistics, I don't have the insider info from Greece and Spain, only first hand experience from Poland.

    No, I don't drink. If you are asking what I did today-I competed on 21 km run. How much did you run today?..
    Now you provocted me-I will give you concrete answer, why are you x-times richer than us (it is from my busines-selling Porsce cars).
    Poland selles each year more than 400 units, on the other hand we sell 50 units. Same with MB, Audi, BMW....Tomorrow I can give you info abot numers for Tequipment.
    And your country has a regular entries on Paris Dakar, in WRC, europan rally championship....do you want to hera our story???
    So, who has mony and who not?
