Profile of Robert Kubica

My favorite (and first ever Polish) Formula One driver, Robert Kubica, was profiled in this month's F1 Racing Magazine by the talented Peter Windsor. (Should you want a copy, let me know - I've scanned it in and already sent it to a few F1 friends) Good profile and my esteem for Robert just grows. Gotta love the Polish. No bullshit, just racing...

"Which celebrity would you most like to date?"
"None."



The article also adds that "[he has] the sort of face you see in those pictures of the valiant Polish resistance fighters back in 1941."

"Robert is a Pole, and so has resilience-under-hardship etched into his DNA. Life wasn't meant to be easy; life, from the start, is imperfect. You fight, and then you fight on some more. You do what is necessary - and without fuss."

Kubica also donated his driving suit from his first career pole position (at Bahrain) to raise money for Sudan. It is being auctioned off on eBay and Robert will present the overalls in the paddock at Monza. (If I only had a spare 10,000 Euros...) He is a class act and is off to an exceptional start this season.
