Thanks for posting.
F1 driver Robert Kubica seriously injured after crashing during rally in Italy
Godspeed, Robert!
Prayers up...
FYI
Robert Kubica looks to be out of racing this year, if he will ever return...
Sounds like he’s badly injured.
Let’s hope for the best!

sad ping...
wow....I don’t know how he got out of the big one two years ago...that one was a very hard hit..
pls feel free to use the ping list on my homepage...
damn.... look at the hole about 25sec's in, it looks like a section of the Armco maybe came through the floor/firewall?
...saw that...the shot from the left rear into the car ...looked like the firewall opened up like the transmission came inside...ripped apart..
The back door looks like it might have been a way for the rescuers to access, they may have took it off.....
Thank you for pointing out that option, but having visited your homepage (not for the first time - thanks for some interesting info you’ve put on it)....how? For the life of me, I can’t find a ping-list link.
it's not a link... look right below the link to the Motor Racing Research Center, and just above the picture of the G6 and looks like this

don't the teams have a clause in their contract against this type of thing?
Ah, I didn’t see that list. Thanks.
My son, who follows motorsports much more keenly than I, told me that yes, most F1 teams have clauses in the driver contracts prohibiting off season racing. However, Kubica got an exemption in his contract because he’d been doing rally racing for a long time.
My concern is how much his team and F1 in general will support him in his rehabilitation efforts. They did everything for Massa, but Massa was injured in an F1 event. There might be a general feeling that Kubica was, and is, on his own on this one.
Man that is horrible! I always liked Kubica and thought he really improved Renault a lot this past season. If it ends his career, that will a terrible shame for a very talented driver.
i'm afraid you might be right about him being on his own...
yup, a cryin shame for sure if it comes to pass
Senna and Hiedfeld on list to replace Kubica???? Senna over Hulkenberg???
