    They use refurbished rims (they fixed them after Germany) and two of them broke again today.

    True story, bro. Robert said that to polish jurno Gutowski. With the smallest budget in the field they have to do such a things. Thats how it is. So it was still his mistake, right ?

    There is the interview (in Polish):

    Always budget, budget, budget. Do you know what is his budget?

    I would like to know which team except Citroen, VW, Hyundai and M-Sport use new rims? I know plenty polish drivers from Polish Championship which are using used rims and they are happy and they don't have problems like this.

    Everytime he has an excuse. Sorry, this could be rims fault, but what about him not destroying his car in previous rallyes? Maybe he could have had the budget to buy proper rims then. There are plenty of private drivers and teams that manage to reach the finish line in several rounds. He did never. Everytime it is something else fault: the brakes, the rims, the engine, the team, the bad luck. Or he is the most unlucky man in the world or he just have a problem himself that in 2 years he didn't manage to solve.

    hey rally expert how many stages have you win in WRC or how many teams did you manage that you can judge pro driver? Show me any other driver who in his first season won the title and in following two seasons won 12 stages as a privater.Or I make it easier for you, compare him to Raikonen or Bertelli or any other driver with 3 years experience in rallies.

    He doesn't need to be a WRC driver to judge Kubica's performance, discussion forums wouldn't exist otherwise. I think only blind fanboys deny the fact that Robert has a huge problem controlling his speed and crashes way too much, even more than Raikkonen, Block, Duval, Latvala or who else.

    He doesn't judge his performance but "analyzing" mistakes, failures, bad luck or whatever else from behind the screen of his computer. But the most important thing is he judges him equally with rally drivers with years of experience. It's not right is it? Even if you don't appreciate the progress, speed, stage wins on all surface etc. RK has achieved, you need to realize that he has less than three years of experience in rallies at all. Not mention about his limitation. It's funny how some trolls expect miracles and people from WRC (drivers, experts, team bosses) respect what RK has been doing. Paddon said in interview that it took him all his career to get that speed that RK already had when he joined WRC, and all he needs is experience that you can get over years. That sums up all discussion.
