Robert Kubica Is Back in F1

It has been mentioned in another thread at some point, that apparently Jolyon Palmer brought some private sponsorship money to Renault (around £3M) , and this is maybe why they handle him with kids gloves now, instead of firing him immediately.
I suspect his contract will not be renewed next year.

 

Alonso is better off in a Renault engined McLaren than a Renault engined Renault. This doesn't make sense to me...

 

That is a small sum of money in F1, I heard is was more like 4 times that amount !!

 

Yes, possibly the figures are higher, I don't know.
But anyway that seems to be what keeps Palmer in his seat at the moment.
Maybe Renault doesn't want to upset that sponsor.

 

Kubica linked with Williams seat - report | PlanetF1 : PlanetF1

 

Well, I never did believe that Renault seriously considered R.K for a seat, but that's just me. However, I understand that the situation of Carlos Sainz Jr is very much dependant on the engine swap with McLaren, so I don't believe this is over and done yet, as long as the McLaren engine situation is not sorted out.
I have to say that I'm rather lukewarm towards Williams these days...their car isn't very good, I was expecting better performance from them.

That would be wonderful!

 

Would be wonderful. But seems very unlikely to me.

 

Kubica can beat Massa with one hand. Literally

 

And others as well if you ask FA............

 

I hope he comes back and gets good results.

 

Sorry, not funny.

 

What a pity Massa will lose his seat while baby driver gets the glory.

 

Hardly. Remember, he retired last year. He's basically just having fun now and I don't think he cares if he has a seat next year or not.

 

Massa has kicked Stroll's butt all season.

 

And probably Massa can find a place in F-E.

 

I think Felipe's time is over..he can hag around but seriously (and i really like him as the champion he is) i would prefer to see Robert at his place...he was robbed of a great career (by his own fault i have to admit) and would be grat if he coud have a second chance.

 

It doesn't make any sense to switch Massa for Kubica. Massa knows the team very well, is experienced with the new car, is easily beating his team mate... You can argue whether Kubica is more talented than Massa (I personally don't agree) but in reality it would make very little difference.

What a silly comparison: How about comparing Massa's first season to Lance's?

Massa got a whopping 4 points and made so many mistakes that he got relegated to test driver for a year. Lance has 24 points so far and a podium

 

After watching Lance I am of the position there are many more deserving drivers. Lance is amateur hour. Not a fan.

 

Not disagreeing. But I much prefer to see him at Williams than Massa

 

Define "all".

 

Considering only races that both finished, MAS 6 - 1 STR.

Qualifying 12-2

 

NOt comparable, Massa showed speed and talent from very early days...Stroll neither...

 

Yes but that's because you deslike Felipe, not because you think Lance is better...
