    that doesn't make any sense.

    We never had a finnish grand prix for example.

    Kubica was immensely talented.

    As far as i know, english uses "learnt", and americans use learned, so i assume both are correct but i would argue that the english form should prevail. Now i could be wrong, so i will wait until some english member corrects me. If your right, i thank you for educating me, if not, it wouldn't be very flatering for you.

    ..it's about time you actualy learnt something about the subject you're speaking.

    Actually is written with 2 l.
    Learnt is the preterit of to learn. Are is the present plural of to be.
    Both should be in the present tense to make sense in your sentence.
    Also, you don't speak a subjet, but you talk about a subject.

    I get that, but someone wrote it should be learned instead of learnt. That's the part i would like you to explain me.

    According to my grammar book, which I refer to very often, both can be used.

    PS: the world is bigger than America. Learned is used in the US, Learnt in the rest of the world. Next time you try to be a grammar...person of different political beliefs, at least be correct about it. In my opinion of course.

    PPS: This may come as a shock to some, but Wikipedia isn't the fountain of knowledge. Before you cite Wiki as your source maybe do a bit of research. In my opinion, of course.

    How Robert Kubica set the perfect example for young drivers (formulascout.com)

    Listen to the Kubica Podcast on Beyond the Grid.

    A quote from Rosberg on Kubica:

    Hope you wouldn't be offended, friend (hope you wouldn't be offended by me calling you friend, either...) but I always had some reservations. Truth is I can't tell you why exactly, but I never was completly convinced. Dunno why...

    I know why.
    I also hope you won't be offended, because you're one of the people i like and respect on this place, but i believe you're a bit like St Tomé..."see to believe", therefore, if for some reason outside his control, a driver isn't able to fulfill his full potential, you tend to discard him.

    I think that's another of HAM's great qualities, he is much kinder on tyres than other drivers ;->

    He is now, it was a big weakness of his in his first years....but there are many drivers good on the tyres.....i guess this is a situation you improve with experience

    Funny how Wiki is a questionable source when it disagrees with someone's opinion...

    Wiki has always been questionable for anyone who knows something about the subject.
    If you have to learn reading wikipedia you're not very well informed....

    Of course not, for either statement. It's very hard to offend me, only with making utterly moronic statements or utter refusal to make a sensible argument. You're far away from those people!

    For me the way Kubica drove. Replaced Villeneuve and stuck it on the podium in only his 3rd race (something his WDC winning teammate couldn't do all season), considering his background (no serious backing like most guys that make it to F1 do...or even those that still don't make it). Was signed to Ferrari for 2012 (what could've been...). Alonso etc all rate him extremely high as well.
