    You are absolutely right, that didn't occur to me.

    Actually it sounds like a rather sad day for Kubica. Its over and he knows it now.

    He was immensely popular with us before he was going to move. What a talent.

    That was my interpretation as well.

    My understanding as well.

    Very, very sad.

    I didn't see the point of Kubica testing a F1 car, albeit an old one , unless it's some sort of self-gratification.

    Kubica will never get a seat in a F1 team in future.

    Everybody knows that, I hope.

    There is a huge difference between a 2013 F1 car and one from 2017. G forces are much higher and the cars are more complex, driving them requires skills and dexterity that he may not possess.

    He should be able to run 100% of the races, not 80%. I agree it's extremely unlikely he'd ever get a full seat in F1 again. Or Indy, as those require higher strength due to lack of P/S.

    I liked Kubica, but he is damaged goods and almost aged out. Why would any competitive team desire that combination in the seat?

    I really don't understand what the fuss is about with Kubica.

    Kubica had real talent, he showed he could win with less car and not many drivers could do that at this level of racing.

    I think that is why he is testing--to see if he still has it.

    What's the point?

    Nobody is going to offer him a drive!

    Depends if he suddenly announces a big bag of sponsorship cash! Otherwise, why is Palmer in f1, what about werewolf, chilton was in it for a while and totally clueless..... money talks loudest, he won't be at ferrari, but maybe Renault, Williams or sauber might come for the green

    90% of Kubica is still better than 100% of palmer, Stroll, warewolf, Eriksson, and probably many others...
    Ps: i always get confused when i should use than or then...i think my last english class was some 26 years ago, so, i tend to forget some things...so i would apreciate some input :)
