Posted January 11, 201213 yr I'm starting new thread with some bad news Robert Kubica injures leg in fall Robert Kubica has injured his leg in a fall near his home, with sources close to the Polish driver suggesting that he has reopened a fracture that he sustained in his rally accident last year. It is understood that Kubica fell over on ice in Pietrasanta, where he lives, and subsequently complained of pain in the right leg which was broken in his crash. He was driven to the local hospital for checks. Although there has been no official statement, it is understood that it has been found that Kubica has reopened the fracture in his right tibia. Kubica's latest injury setback comes on the same day that Ferrari played down talk that it was planning to test the Polish driver later this year once he was fully recovered. Sources suggested that the injury is likely to delay his recovery by at least three weeks. "That was not on our plan," said Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali at the annual Wrooom media event. "For sure Robert Kubica is a great driver that had a very severe injuries and at the moment he is still working very hard to try to go back to his normal living. "So before any kind of thinking or discussion of whatever could be, we need to wait and see. For sure that kind of injury is taking a long time to recover so I can say we will wait and see if he is going to recover, but at the moment there is nothing in place." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/i..._medium=twitter can't believe it how unlucky he is! :(
January 11, 201213 yr Just read this! So unlucky :( I'm really looking forward to this season though, but I hope this Sky deal doesn't affect things too much as I don't have Sky :(
January 11, 201213 yr How unlucky can Robert get. If he did return to F1 would he still be the same driver as he was? Look at Massa he hasn't been the same driver since he had that crash in Hungary 2009. People who don't have Sky We'll at least have extended highlights to every race that Sky are doing and 10 races live on the BBC. But still it's going to be annoying to not find out the result until the highlights comes.
January 17, 201213 yr Bruno Senna today has agreed to drive for Williams this season. See more at: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/97056 Ben Edwards new BBC commentator on his new role and the BBC/Sky deal eqghznQpnV8 Edited January 17, 201213 yr by ukchartstatsfan
January 17, 201213 yr Senna and Maldonado? Dear me, Williams won't be improving anytime soon then! A shame Sutil is such a moron really, he'd surely be a shoo-in.
January 18, 201213 yr Senna and Maldonado? Dear me, Williams won't be improving anytime soon then! A shame Sutil is such a moron really, he'd surely be a shoo-in. Yeah I agree with that. Sutil is a pretty talented driver he is just a bit of a tit. Does anyone know what actually went on in that nightclub? Did he just have a fight with someone or summat? Would be great to see Kubica back in the cockpit but I agree that it will be difficult and unlikely that he comes back as good as he was before. That has got to play on your nerves surely?
January 18, 201213 yr Williams are absolutaly stupid they should of got rid of maldonado got sutil nd kept barricelo for one more season nd then get senna next season
January 20, 201213 yr Williams are absolutaly stupid they should of got rid of maldonado got sutil nd kept barricelo for one more season nd then get senna next season Don't forgot Maldonado still has that sponsorship money to help Williams. I was surprised that Williams kept him. Edit: More problems for Hispania Racing. once again they may not get to the grid Read this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/16649348.stm Edited January 20, 201213 yr by ukchartstatsfan
February 17, 201213 yr Jarno Trulli has been replaced by Vitaly Petrov for Caterham for this season. Trulli, 37 is without a drive in F1 since Minardi in 1997. It will be the first time that an Italian driver is not on the grid for the start of a F1 season since 1970. See more at: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/97552
March 15, 201213 yr Author New season starts in less than 10 hours, will be there prediction game again?
March 18, 201213 yr Button was imperious today, I really hope he wins the title this year. Vettel looked decent too, but was helped with Shumacher going out and the safety car. Will be very interesting to see if the pace of Mercedes and Lotus can keep up and challenge Ferrari for third spot. If Massa does not improve his form soon I imagine he will be gone, he was very very poor today.
March 18, 201213 yr Massa is truly terrible now. He was never that good anyway, a solid number two that almost got lucky once but since his accident he's been terrible. Last year the only driver you could even possible say was worse than him was Jarno Trulli... Maybe Rubens at a push? Good race today, I couldn't help but smile at Maldonado though, as harsh as it is! Kimi looks like he'll be able to battle with Alonso and the Mercedes this season. and I really like Ben Edwards on the BBC, the reaction to him was really positive too when I had a quick look at what people were saying.
March 18, 201213 yr Maldonado deserved what he got, since he ran Grosjean off at the very start. Still, its nice to see Williams seemingly competitive again. I am already looking forward to Malaysia. The Sky coverage was good, but the new commentator made a few too many mistakes throughout the race, but it was probably beginner's nerves and all that.
March 19, 201213 yr Typical, the minute they take the bloody Renault name out of the team it looks like we might have a fighting chance of having our best season since 05/06. Renault should never have sold their stake in the team.
March 22, 201213 yr Think the race this weekend will be better since grosjean and Schumacher went out early in australia ruining the chances of having someone different in the top 3. So I think we might see a Schumacher, grosjean or Kimi fighting for that 3rd position as well as all the normal contenders.
March 25, 201213 yr After today I will be astounded if Perez isn't in a red car in China. Stunning drive, got the decisions correct bar coming in same lap as Alonso, which if he did he would surely have won the race at a canter, but going on the hard tyres was a great call. His inexperience did show somewhat when he spun behind Alonso at the end. At least he should have plenty of more opportunities to push for victory in the future. I have always tried to defend Massa, but he was frankly embarrassing today. Another lap or 2 on the race and he'd have been lapped. Unlucky for Jenson, but once again he seemed to have edged Hamilton in terms of race pace, obviously though they were miles apart on the track. Its good to see Red Bull are not going to waltz away this year again, it actually seems like this season could be as unpredictable as 2010.
March 25, 201213 yr Another incredible grand prix!! I love rain-affected GPs even if it means a red flag stoppage (as long as it gets going again unlike Malaysia 2009) because it always causes chaos when it restarts after today and Canada last year :D Brilliant drives from Alonso and especially Perez! Senna did great too and Force India were the only team with both drivers in the points! :cheer:
April 15, 201213 yr Well done Nico Rosberg, deserved victory for him this weekend and very pleased he finally managed to get that maiden win. Would have been a more interesting last couple of laps had Button's pitstop not gone awry though, not that today had some of the closest wheel to wheel action I've seen in any race for many years. Schumacher also unlucky, I reckon he was a shoe-in for a podium otherwise.
