`WHAT A RACE!
I've seen everything a man could see in a race. LoL from some idiotic stuff like the missing pit stop crew, to some black flags, a huge crash for Kubica and i'm very eager to see what really happened cuz poor guy was struggling alot with the car and the whole weekend was very dissapointed and complained alot about the set-up of the car, and in the end to the flawless win of Hamilton (respect for that).
So congrats also to Heidfeld, very nice and clean race, very competitive aaaand WHO SAID BMW CAN'T COMPETE YET?
I think we have yet alot to see.
But in the end i feel very sorry for Kubica and i hope he recovers quickly and good, and won't let this major incident affect him that much. BMW needs him to be competitive. Now we'll see Vettel in US and that would be interesting.

I hope Robert OK. That was scary! We'll find out more later [fingers crossed].
Well, we've got a rookie winner afterall. Hamilton takes the win. Congrats to him and the team.
One good news for BMW is that Nick takes 2nd. The highest finish yet for himself and the team. We finally see him on the podium.

I feel very sorry for this guy. I admire him so much, and more because he is not a rich kid like L. Hamilton or Nico Rosberg, that started with the help of their parents from very little ages, and with huge investments arrived in F1. He had alot of hostilities from this parents, from virtually everybody in Polland, every manager/investor untill he took life in his hands and started to knock some doors in some Italian championships and he proved himself till he got here. He has almost only talent and very much desire to win and compete and to happen something like this to him is trully sad. I don't want to be him right now, nor in the parents' place who i can almost hear saying: I told you! That's why i hope the saying: What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, applies to him most because he alone more than others needs this after this huge accident. I know how hard must have been for him to reach this level virtually alone, from a country, just like mine, that doesn't have racing history nor well known racing/karting schools.
All the best and in the end this has been a trully exiting race. It had everything. Poor Alonso, he looked so crippled.

Model Year: 2013
Latest news update on Kubica:
Seems as it was a drivers error made by him.
Unconscious during the accident. During the crash even the HANS broke in pieces.
He was flown to the hospital.
No serious injuries, MAYBE a broken ankle, they still examine him.
So, hopefully he will be back in the car for the next race.

Lewis Hamilton was not from a privileged background - his dad is now successful but back then had to maintain three jobs to support his junior racing.
Also Kubica is treated the same way as the German driver but of course "Luck" is also has a role in the play.
