Robert Kubica's F1 career ended?

Postby ttweed on Mon Feb 07, 2011 10:23 am

A bad crash in a rally event in Italy resulted in severe injuries that will put him out of the Renault F1 car for the year:

Hope he can recover--he's a great driver.

The wreckage of Robert Kubica's Skoda Fabia :shock:

He is lucky to be alive and that the guardrail missed him, as it went thru the car.

I think he will recover and be back, he is a fighter.
