Robert Kubica, that guy, yeah, if only he could somehow combine speed, care and also a healthy dose of luck in one event, for a proper result and proper demonstration of ability, skill and potential, if there is any. And I still believe there is. But, for now, all we get is this, we could...
Let’s suppose that, for a rally driver, a victory is one of the best possible birthday presents one could wish for. Or maybe it’s securing a shiny new multi-year contract with your current team, which also happens to be the dominant force and winner of everything in the last couple of years? I can’t say,...
