I wonder if this incident rattled his nerves though. We'll see how quickly he can get back into the groove.
they can take upto 6Gs, just like a fighter pilot.
So they are much stonger than most people in both body and mined.

After reading this i truly don't know what's in his mind. Might be what Centurion said, or maybe he feels affected, or maybe he just wanted to make waves with comments like that.
He says he's not complaining but:
"We knew all the support and help would go his way. It is something I understand and I'm not complaining."
...if this is not an indirect complain then what is it?!
I truly think that McLaren is not favoring Hamilton...for the moment. In time i think this would be possible since it's is very well known that the team favors it's native driver. Just as BMW Sauber will favor for a very long time Nick and not Robert. Even Dr. Mario admits it since Nick is a German. And i truly understand them, wouldn't you favor your countryman if you see him performing. So unless there is a big gap in the drivers, then teams generally will always favor their countrymen.
My main problem is how could Alonso set-up his car that bad for the Canadian GP?! I mean it was clear that he made some mistakes from trying to push on, but that was not the fundamental problem. It was clear the car was not so well balanced and the set-up was not that good. Alonso is good at s=tuning his car. What happened?

The way I saw it this past weekend, it was bad decisions and car set up that best explains Fernando's results.

Unbelievable that Robert sustained only a sprain and is enthusiastic about returning for the US Grand Prix this weekend.
The reports have stated, however, that he must first get clearance from the FIA medical commitee.

But everybody is confident that he will pass the tests!

Kubica quotes:
"I am going to Indianapolis and I hope that the FIA doctors will say OK for me driving,"he said. "I feel very good. I was very lucky, it was a big accident, but fortunately nothing was hurt. That's the positive side."
"I remember quite a lot, nearly everything. We just touched together (Trulli), we just tried to fight, and that's all."
If Kubica can't race Timo Glock may have the edge over Sebastien Vettel as replacement, thanks to the fact that he has raced at Indianapolis with Jordan in 2004 and is on great form in GP2.

The FIA doctors' verdict is that Kubica cannot race in Indianapolis...

It was a safety decision on behalf of the FIA. But no worries, I'm sure we'll see Robert back soon...unless, what if Sebastian makes it on the podium?

His bady is 100% ok but I dont think he mind is 100% ok after a 180mph crash.
if he did drive this weekend he will be a bit slower, unless he dose not care about his life and just a hard fast driver mind
He be back in not time.
