Robert Kubica

[ufunacaoenn]

How old is Kubica right now?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Twenty seven I believe

 

[Xosé Estrada]

He's only just had an operation to allow him to fully turn a steering wheel!
16 months after his initial accident!

That pretty much sums it up...

 

[Chris Jenkins]

The guy's done.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

"

The surgery was intended to enter the passenger compartment of a car: Now Robert already using it without problems on the kart or the rally car, since it has room to lift the elbow, while moving in a monocoque that it is granted.​

The operation therefore has a clear purpose: to enter into the narrow cockpit of a Formula 1 team."​

So he´s not done. The contrary actually.

Hope you are right

 

[Metalfreaky]

I also hope he's right, but I really doubt it.
I thnik we won't see Kubica in an F1 car again, at least not in a GP.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

I think we´ll see him next year or in 2014 definitely.

 

[Mark Birney]

He'll have no trouble getting an F1 test, for sure one of the midfield or backmarker teams would give a lot to have him drive for them. Ferrari have been rumoured for years to have been interested in him. Who knows. Apparently his surgeries are going well, and he can rotate his hand/arm now.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

There´s no coincidence we are still talking about him.
Any other normal driver would have been forgotten by now.

I´m sure his brightest days are ahead of him, definitely a future world champion.

 

[ufunacaoenn]

It would be great to have him back but I wonder if he would be able to do a 90 minute F1 race because that isn't easy at all.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

I just dislike his lack of interest in F1 in the months after his crash.
He was still contracted by Renault, able to walk around and travel, yet made no effort to be with the team at a race or even visit the factory. Then started talking about being interested in joining other teams. Very disrespectful towards a team that were paying for his recovery and rehab.

If you look at Massa who almost died from his injuries, the second he was able to, he was at races, on the pit wall, supporting the team, as they did for him.

That's what really put me off Kubica as a character.

We're probably only talking about him as he has appeared in the press. Maybe?

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Massa was out of the hospital after a week. Was nothing remotely close to what Kubica had.

Kubica was in the hospital for 10 weeks.

doubt it, people who know, knows.

Stumbled across this on another F1 forum, thought I'd share.

Thank you for the teenage Robert Kubica moment. It's a damn shame he won't have that same fire when he returns to motorsport.

Another career destroyed like Massa's...

 

[Chris Jenkins]

Only difference with Massa is that he made an effort to show support for those that supported him...

I don't understand this, what do you mean Chris?
