You gotta wonder why mgmt even let's them do stuff like that in the off season.

McLaren prolly keep Lewis in cryostasis, Han Solo-style, in between media/training gigs during the northern winter.

[wolverine]

I reckon they just park Lewis in between Nicoles boozies for 3 months, bike rack style.

I am not sure if there is any carbon freezing involved.

And my being there the other 9 months of the year is real tough, I gotta tell ya

I think the Kimi method is far better, vodka, coke and hookers. Too cold in finland in the off season for him to venture out much, so no risk of injuring himself.

[ctjet]

god i miss kimi

he doesnt queer up the place by being on facebook or twitter like the rest of these bandwagon jumping attention seeking whores

he's here to race cars and bang hot chicks

and ill never get to meet him now.

[ctjet]

just imagine in fantasy land that somehow, someway, kimi raplaces the kube

he's far too fat now i know, but its a magical place in fantasy land

[Beer Baron]

poor kube. that is devastating, could even be career ending for him. yeah It's surprising more teams don't have clauses in the contracts stating what drivers can and can't do in their off season. look at webber and his farken endurance events. how well has that worked....not. great way to start a season recovering from a few broken bones.

I mean if you really want to do tarmac rally, or mountain biking etc surely it can wait till after your (short) F1 career? isn't driving F1 cars for 9-10 months a year excitement enough. I would think you would not want to do anything to jeopardise the small window any driver has in F1.

Anyway, I'll be praying for you (or whatever I do in place of prayer) Kube. Hope to see you back on track soon and in a decent car too. bobby kube is without doubt one of the best prospects in the current crop of 'young' drivers and this time out will hurt his progress badly.

[sav man]

While is such a big restriction on testing the drivers will be driving in other forms of motorsport. At the end of the day the best form of training for a race driver is racing.

[sh@un]

Not rally though

[Beer Baron]

yeah agreed the testing bad sucks but I'm with stinky. I would not want my mega buck F1 drivers doing tarmac rallies on their time off. the stats tell you the chance of damage is high.

Boullier said that Bruno Senna will most likely to be the replacement in the article blackrex linked to.

Hulkenberg?

More pics of Kub's car...

[ctjet]

nice

[boiracer]

geeebus!! (and ouch)

why is it everyone seems to hit the end or guard rails??? see it on highway crashes too. there can be 100's of km's of nothing, then as soon as you add a guard rail someone will hit it. even if they extend the guard rail after the first one. the next car will hit it earlier.....are they magnetic? or are most people just that scared of em that they end up staring at them till they hit it??? (obv this wasnt the case with Kube)....but.....weird

Not sold on the angle of sweep on the nose.

Looks like Countach aerodynamics to me.

It looks like a kebab.

Would not want to be inside at the time of impact.

[Angus Smart]

Has that guard rail entered the front/back and come out the opposite end??

[boiracer]
