OK, I had my fit Is that French for "I'd rather see Kubica race"? I'd like to see Vettel have a go. I enjoyed watching him in practice at the Melbourne GP this year. His laps were quick and smooth, besides, I agree, Kubica should enjoy a weekend off surely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His laps were quick and smooth, besides, I agree, Kubica should enjoy a weekend off surely. He needs to do exactly the opposite. He needs to train twice as hard and long. He needs to do everything he does every day and them some. He needs to take the accident and take it as a stepping stone and become better from it. Though he has far less time to do it, he needs to do exactly the same thing Schumi did after he broke his leg. In Malaysia in '99 Schumi had not raced for 6 races and he made the rest of the field look like grade schoolers, even Mika, and he still let Eddie by to give him a chance at the WDC. Thats what Kubi needs to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what Kubi needs to do. I see your point, I think he should do all those things except race this weekend. After a shunt like that, A team wouldn't be wise to have him back in the car less than a week later IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking forward to seeing what this guy can do straight out of the box in comparision to LH Melbourne performance. It's wise decision. I have learnt that NFL players skip at least a week after having a concussion, cause another concussion could mean serious brain damage. So skip one GP is just right thing to do.but if this is just due to "too earlyto race again" policy, why didn't they tell it the day after he went out of the hospital. I guess it would be much more time for Sebastian to prepare. SV & TG would have been preparing themselves both physically and mentally as soon as they heard of the accident in Canada.

Yeah, I know, but situation is little different when your told "you are going to race, prepare" and different when "you , or maybe Timo , may or may not , have to substitute for Robert, but in fact he feels OK" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good call. Sure is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2007 we shouldnt judge Vettel by this race though, it would be unfair. If he brings the car home to the finish then that will be a good job. If he gets points, thats brilliant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reds88 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2007 Robert needs to be fully recovered and 100% fit before he gets back in the car. So I think it is wise to substitute him with Vettel. We'll see how well vettel will be doing in the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
