Good morning,
I want to be excited by this, but I have a big nagging doubt.
Will we find that Kubica is fast but crashes a lot?
My thinking is that the much discussed hand might become an issue when the car does something unexpected.
There have been a number of remarks that appear to have come from Robert himself saying that he presses on the steering wheel rather than grasping it.
This clearly seems to work most of the time, but when it comes to the race weekend a single case when it doesn't work may see the car in the wall.
Whilst I am sure that Williams have considered this possibility as either non existent or one that is a reasonable risk to take , are they biased by the sponsorship he is bringing?
Only time will tell.
Bye
Ian
Quote:Five and a half hours into the 2016 Le Mans 24 hours race, the cameras cut to the garages to show the rather unusual sight of a driver being hoisted into his car with the assistance of his mechanics.
The man in question was Frédéric Sausset and he was about to make history by becoming the first quadruple amputee to compete in the iconic race. Not only did Sausset manage to finish the race, with the help of teammates Christophe Tinseau and Jean-Bernard Bouvet, but he also had the privilege to be on the podium in front of tens of thousands of fans.

Speaking about the human story...
There has been hardly a public person in the paddock who didn’t greet and congratulate Robert on his return.
Williams’ own TD didn’t.
There is some information surfacing that it was Paddy who orchestrated the whole Sirotkin thing (indeed he was very vocal on his qualities), making his achievements in Williams looking even less stellar. It would really add insult to injury of being accountable for making one of the worst cars in the team history.
Isn’t he not speaking because hardly anyone, including Claire, would care to listen any longer?

Oh, he is speaking allright.
