The subsequent messages of the health status of Robert Kubica, of national despair, the scientific debate of the entire population of the anatomy of the right hand and the nervous system, discussion of the relics (which words some at the end), further more or less sensational reports wyssanych chatting with a finger of the hospital journalists, gestures, expressions of solidarity and support for the driver, scrolling from time to time questions After what he was? Do you have to go there? Why expose himself to unnecessary risks and is in addition to the month before the start of the season, which perhaps would be a breakthrough for him?
Martin Brundle talks openly that start in the race, Kubica was the part of folly. Niki Lauda added that Kubica himself is to blame. However, already current F1 Robert did not condemn this strongly. On the contrary - Rubens Barrichello says he understands the passion for racing Kubica and Sebastian Vettel hopes that Kubica did not give up the ride in races. Even the head of Renault Eric Boullier, which lack Kubica may feel very badly, invariably weapons permit decision Kubica at the start and stipulates that it will not ban future participation in similar events. I did not like that Boullier can not now say anything else. The statement that the recent events will change the approach to the issue for him would not be detriment to the honor, nor would adversely the image of the team. Ensure that the driver will be able (if you will want to) continue to compete in races for the expression of understanding for the hobby szefostwa driver.
Because now it is fashionable to uttering an opinion on the reasonableness of the boot, so I decided to throw my 5 cents. When asked whether he had to start in the rally, he answered the driver, who told the Review sports said: Thanks startom in raids became a better driver. Maybe not so much in the Formula 1, but in general. More complete driver. It is not so, that drove there a dozen times a year just to pursue a passion [...] the season may want to prepare two small rallies such as this. It was a concentration .... In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport also added that: [...] raids are not just a passion, a tough, demanding training, which is useful also in terms of Formula 1 I'm a better driver on the F1 track also because last year I participated in many rallies.
answer to the question why? was therefore granted. And it's not in it for no frills, humor and antics, but a purely practical side. Kubica started the rally is not (only) to satisfy his whims, but in preparation for the season. Treated it as another part of the drive for perfection.
It was the start of practical significance, however, does not mean that you should forget about the passion. During that ended on Sunday at Jerez Mark Webber recalled: Last year we ate dinner together at the Italian GP. We spent 90 minutes talking about the raids. It was evident, as [Robert] comes alive when talking about racing and when it examines the sport he loves.
And that's the crux of the problem (but also the simplest and best answer to all questions): Robert Kubica is the driver and he loves racing. He drives in F1, but he loves racing. A man who has a passion not just like that prohibit it. Therefore, Kubica had to whether any earlier rally to start. Forgetting already racing to F1 as a workout, he had in the Ronde di Andorra participate, because it's his passion. The problem is that it is quite dangerous passion. So the team, taking over the driver (maybe not the absolute but still) power should allow him to carry on the beloved, though a dangerous area, or should, caring for the welfare of the driver (but do not kid yourself, your own interests), forbid him to participate in such excesses?
here follows a clash of two perspectives: the perspective of the team (the employer and the employee invests in a pending against conscientious performance of duties) and a driver's perspective as a human (employee). From the standpoint of the former is better placed in the driver's contract clause prohibiting him to take off outside of F1. With such treatment team avoids unnecessary risks, limited opportunities Driver in serious injury and ensuring a greater likelihood that the driver will still be able to fulfill their duties, thus contributing to the profits of the employer. I admit that upon hearing about the accident itself Kubica said: That's why I support the decision of prohibiting the Red Bull drivers to ride in races. This was the first, knee-jerk reaction. From the perspective of a fan, the loss is a loss Kubica huge and it would be better if he was not allowed such a risky antics. This would allow us to see now how to prepare for the season, rather than follow further reports coming from the hospital. The only question is whether Kubica would be happy with such a ban ... probably not really, except that the fans have to be on this not too głowili (wonders if anyone at all, and Sebastian Vettel may not want to go on a rally? Finally, once the license has not received such a start. But I do not think on how much Sebastian likes to raid and how much they are missing him.) From the perspective of a fan driver takes part in rallies, so that virtually 100% will race in F1, so everything is OK, because we are satisfied on television. If, however, rallies are passionate about this example, Robert Kubica (as he says), then not being able to compete in them, the expectations and requirements of the team, but it is not entirely happy. And yet the level of satisfaction affects the quality of performance of duties. The driver is not the end of the clipper programmed to drive the car and nothing more. He is a person of flesh and blood and emotional passions and desires. Driving a BMW, Robert Kubica had a non-starters in the races. Of course, this vein, but also in the team was unhappy forever skwaszony and fussy. Probably banned in raids was not the only reason for dissatisfaction driver at the time, but certainly not improved his mood. Renault does not prohibit Kubica pursue his other passion, and perhaps also because he feels understood and free, open Kubica says that this team is at home. More often, also smiling.
In view of the duality of the problem appears jarring: reason tells prohibit rallies, my heart says to let the implementation of passion. And because I used to listen to the heart, however, so even though a full understanding of the reasons the team (as evidenced my first reaction to the accident), I have to side with the less rational and upheld the finding that the driver, if needed, should be allowed in the rally to start. In the end, as well as pointed out by Mark Webber at Jerez are adults and they make decisions . The risk to both parties (the driver / team) well known, so the decision is fully conscious. But do not be surprised if the teams will now approach the question more carefully and more strictly supervised its employees, forbidding them to take off in other series, or at least require that (if it is necessary to want to), started in such as major events (not local as Kubica's race), as though to some extent ensures better groomed and better safety standards.
The question is whether Kubica had to expose themselves to risk just before the start of the season, it occurs to me really an answer: what difference does it make when to expose ...? Knowing the severity of injuries has held Kubica, we see that the term race really was not greater importance. Robert Kubica is likely to wait several months rehabilitation, so regardless of whether the farmers would damage in December, January or February, most likely would not be at full strength before the season starts. Of course, that the current situation will lose more than lose, with the same event such as two months ago, but anyway - a masterly campaign (assuming optimistically that the car would allow to join the fight for the title) would be depleted at least (in the prey point), if you do not lose. Reflecting further on the risk, I come to two consecutive applications. At the core of the first of them is fatalism, to which the tendency is manifested every time when something is wrong, and which can be reduced to a simple statement see it had to be something i have / had to happen. Following this path, I must say that yes - injuries sustained in this case are very serious, but just as well Robert Kubica could fall under a bus, walking carelessly on the morning rolls for breakfast to the store on the corner. Finally, how many racing drivers in recent times has had such a serious injury? I do not know what they look like exact statistics, but I suspect that not so many. Drivers usually in raids dachują, Somersault, fall from the road, fall into ditches, etc., etc., etc.. With the safeguards do they are generally more serious happens. To come up with the bumper just in a place that is damaged in such a way that oplotła around the car, so that the barrier is a strange coincidence, was way to break up the cab driver (do not know much about building a car but I suspect that there are not many ways to get to the barrier could so easily go through the entire car) that it all happened in one case, at one time - you have to have real bad luck. Therefore, I believe that unfortunately there was a kind of written and Robert Kubica could just as easily fall under the previously mentioned bus. I know that the opponents of this approach say that the street / in the house of the likelihood of a serious accident is way smaller than on the rally, and probably will have the right (my intention is not proving that the risks encountered by man during the rally is equal to the risk podejmowanemu a man lying on the couch.) Nevertheless, the risk always exists and to find that out, just look at the actions of the other F1 drivers. Nick Heidfeld broke his time leg falling from a bicycle. The same limb, including cycling, recently broke Mark Webber. Preparing for the season, and even losses in its initial phase, then became the big question mark. Juan Pablo Montoya suffered a bizarre injury, playing tennis. Forcing him to break and a very few months did not like Ron Dennis. However, heads of teams will not come to mind after his ban for drivers cycling or playing tennis. Contrary to appearances, because F1 is very demanding in terms of physical sport, a driver needs to prepare for the physical challenges, including driving the bike was. Fernando Alonso said some time ago that in preparation rode the bike at nearly 100 miles a day. Nobody had the idea to forbid him from this activity, and after looking at the actions of Nick H. and Mark W. sport is very dangerous and very kontuzjogenny * . Especially that Alonso does not ride a bicycle as a pensioner, slowly and with dignity, but do not trains with just anyone because of Alberto Contador and Carlos Sastre, a Tour de France winners. I'm not saying that the bike is as dangerous as racing (although at a certain speed the collapse of an unprotected cyclist can be anything more painful than falling out of a secure route in a car). However, even engaging in such a simple and popular sports such as cycling and tennis, in theory, fail to trust in the driver's employer, exposing themselves to unnecessary injuries when they should take care of yourself, after all, puff and blow in order to fulfill obligations with regard to the team on the track. Although the rally so the risk is probably greater than the risk of slipping on the ankle of soap in the shower ** , it can never be 'shadow' recalcitrant drivers from any cause, the totally unnecessary harm. Speaking on CNN about the incident Robert Kubica, Fernando Alonso said: I train on the bike. 2 weeks ago I went with a friend, when the truck drove literally inches away from us. A little further and have thought of it. One might then say that cycling is very dangerous. Risk can never be fully eliminated.
second conclusion to which I come, is to clarify the same issue unnecessary risk. The risk for me, sitting at a desk and not farming the sport professionally, is something entirely different than the risk for F1 drivers. I'm not saying that for me the risk of injury in the rally is greater than for Robert Kubica (forgetting for a moment about the driving skills and the theoretical probability of an accident is focusing). Is the same, except that, for Robert Kubica, the risk is an everyday reality, the charges to include in life, and for me - an exception to the rule. Robert Kubica is the driver. A driver is not during preseason testing, Friday and Saturday practice, qualifications and on Sunday from 14 to 16 (or at any other time, which is just race) and never again. The driver is always, also on Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday at 3 am. Driver is at any time of day or night, seven days a week, 365 days a year. So what we, the fans strutting in our comfortable chairs, we see as unnecessary or additional risk is not such an addition to the driver F1, WRC, Nascar, or any other series. Additional risks could be a bungee jump or glider flight *** , but not race. Rally drivers are part of life. Naturally, therefore constitute part of the personality Kubica, without which simply would not be fully realized. He may forbid this, of course, but you can not then be expected to be completely happy. Something for an outside observer, or even the board of the team, may seem an addition to the work (in this case an unnecessary risk), for the same driver is yes - made complement to every day duties, but complement, which constitutes the essence of his person, and without which there would be himself. Such is the charm of the most genuine passion for the environment niepodzielające interests do not really understand what was going on and why enthusiast can not live without her hobby. Anyone who has ever banned (for whatever reason) of carrying out what, for some mysterious reason for the environment, loved the most, knows how hard life is with such a prohibition, as well as anyone who has any passion knows how much the man pushes the implement in their chosen field.
Pondering over the question so what? increasingly come to the conclusion that it should read why?. And then the answer is very simple - because drivers are like that. They love the speed and they need it, feel the natural need to compete at the highest level. Obviously aware of the risks they take, count it, but you need to race is more important. During the break starts in F1 you need something to satisfy this need. Everyone is doing it your way, a spectacular, another quieter. Regardless of the way - the driver is still the driver.
Despite the psyche of most of the specific drivers without racing is alive and somehow I do not complain (at least not out loud). It should be noted, however, that they have other passions (often Sports), who give themselves after leaving the track. Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso go compulsively on bikes (we know that this is a dangerous sport), Michael Schumacher goes crazy on a motorcycle (he had a serious accident, the effects of long-felt), Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg compete in triathlon competitions (again, this kontuzjogenny bike) and Jarno Trulli produces wine in his own vineyard (alcohol and the driver? mix inconceivable!). Luck would have it, Kubica rate among all the drivers chose a hobby perhaps the most dangerous. As recently said Alonso: We can not sit at home 24 hours a day. We must be proactive. From the standpoint of F1 racing driver is a good workout (the same statement: see above) . proximity of this passion, and performed in everyday practice can therefore speak in favor of Robert, who even in his spare time wants to hone the skills necessary to perform their duties (see interview with Kubica after the accident).
Considering all the pros and cons, I can not join the chorus of those condemning the decision to start Kubica in the dramatic rally. Itself is not a question zadałabym what it took? , because the answer is clear to me at a glance. You may be able to choose another rally - bigger, better prepared and safer. Not chosen, and today this is no longer relevant. The very start, however, need to, because forgetting about those at the beginning of the practical aspects, Kubica is just so - loving what he does best. Without this passion would not be together, and even after all the fans for the passion of love him.
Solicited comments on the pictures and relics of JPII, and because it become the subject of national debate and, sometimes, unfortunately, ridicule: faith is a private thing and if only Kubica Photos (JPII) help, let them hold you. We, the ordinary, unrelated to the fans, nothing to it. In some strange, inexplicable way, I think that even his tendency to be a lovely thing. At a time when being a believer, it is less frequently encountered, not to say - unfashionable, I feel a kind of weakness for a man of faith is stronger. My objections raised only a way to play the file - it's like an ordinary request a picture was made, and then blown, action under the code name for Robert relics. But first, there is no wine Robert Kubica, and secondly it is an entirely different subject.
* Mark Webber on the bike broke it in 2010, and though his hand injury had no effect on its losses to end the season, it does not change the fact that the injury was quite serious.
** issue so much controversy that the statistics show that the largest percentage of accidents occur in safe house, and not for example on the road.
*** A and This is debatable. Indeed, if we assume that drivers have a different (than other people) need for adrenaline, then all the way to achieving the state (that is, amongst others, a bungee jump, parachute or glider flight) can be regarded as a normal part of driver's age, level control is used above. hormone.
