I was going to write this text still take some time, but in the face of a discussion that we have recently fulfilled, I decided to speed up a bit ;-).
Vitaly Petrov to a greater or lesser surprise, stood in the Australian Grand Prix on the podium. When Russian enjoyed as a child of success, the members of his team have used every opportunity to greet the viewer's race in hospital TV Robert Kubica. And although he is not a colleague Vitaly stammered a word, it still does not change the overall picture of things - F1, a sport for tough guys in the face of Kubica's accident takes the human face. So we see sheet for Robert, a Polish flag on the helmet Heidfeld and Kubica's drawing of a helmet to helmet Alonso (is there supposed to be until you return Kubica on track). At first glance, all these gestures of solidarity with the Pole are undergoing a surprise waiting. At the end of this cruel sport, there should be no room for sentiment. Sam said Kubica after sometime already famous sentence: If you want a friend in the paddock, buy a dog.
Even more amazingly the solidarity of the Kubica proving all drivers - Polish inscriptions on the racing cars after the accident, a specially recorded movie greetings, cards with messages from the team displayed during the race, or specially prepared for Kubica helmets. In the memory of it stuck in my scene totally shocked Fernando Alonso with no words coming out of the hospital since shortly after Kubica's accident (broken ski trip to visit the Pole). These pictures do not fit nohow this, let me repeat it again, a hard sport. So, ruthless men, however, you are hiding somewhere deep seeds of humanity. I immediately recalled Felipe Massa accident 2 years ago. Then, too, were expressions of solidarity and record greetings. Not on this scale, as in the case of Kubica, but still.
smaller response in the case of Massa may be surprising to the extent that that case should have been a driver much more shocking - after all, had occurred in their own backyard to show them how great the danger of exposing themselves to much of the year. Kubica's accident in this regard should be less imaginatively to - took place from the side, not where F1 drivers used to work, but in the exercise of extra-curricular activities (though related). However, perhaps the vast scale of damage Kubica (compared with, yes, serious, but really, so to speak, homogeneous Massy injury) caused such a wide resonance in the world of F1.
While all the fuss is (especially Poles) moving and we see in them the uniqueness of our driver, contrary to stereotypes, but this is typical behavior for the world of F1 (see the case even if Massa).
I was reminded recently that Barrichello dedicated his victory in the 2009 European GP przechodzącemu Massie convalescence time, he also zadedykowało Ferrari podium in the Hungarian Grand Prix 2009. Also came to my mind twitterowe news on drivers Kubica and A. The question whether or not surprise me if the extraordinary activity of Barrichello. ... Not many things, but the activity of Barrichello and his sensitivity to any accidents that do not completely surprising. Here, let me go back a dozen years ...
Anyone who has any idea about F1 knows what happened on May 1, 1994 at Imola during the San Marino Grand Prix. Most of these people know well that the day earlier during the qualifying session on the same track Roland Ratzenberger was killed. The Ratzenberger the day before (Friday) was a very serious accident, a young Brazilian, Ayrton Senna which anointed as his successor - Rubens Barrichello. Rubens then swallowed the tongue, nose and broke his arm, and all together sidelined him from Sunday's race. Senna did not see the same (looks gruesomely) accident, but soon learned about him, he went to the medical center. And because the doors were shut, went through a fence that still get inside.
Barrichello recalled later: first face I saw [after regaining consciousness] was the face of Ayrton. He had tears in his eyes. Never before seen him like that. I had a feeling that lives in my case as his own.
Two days later, Senna was dead.
Every time we recall an accident Massa and Rubens's reaction to him, and his approach to the case Kubica (quoted in: Morelli had enough to have me because I called him every 5 minutes, asking for further information ), resemble I Senna's death and the circumstances of the situation in which Rubens was then (in case there is another one Massy emotional element - Barrichello, Brazil, was to be heir to the tradition of the masters of motorsport's anointed himself Senna, Massa is the next Brazilian chain, which involves, or was associated, in hope. Thus, the relationship Barrichello and Massa might be a bit like the nature of the paternal relationship to Rubens Ayrton. History likes to repeat at the end). All this leads to one conclusion: who like who, but Rubens every case very much alive.
But moving away from digressions and exceptional case Barrichello and returning to the image of sport in the face of tragedy, it should be noted that F1 has always sympathized with the victims of accidents. At the start of the Monaco Grand Prix 1994, which hosted again by the tragic Imola race, the first two start positions were left blank. On one of the Brazilian flag painted for Ayrton Senna, and the second Austrian Roland Ratzenberger for. What is also remarkable - in Senna's car was found shattered the Austrian flag, which Senna (of course, planning the victory) was to pull the end of the San Marino Grand Prix, so as to honor tragically died the day before Ratzenberger. There was given him, and two weeks later, the memory of both drivers was honored by the whole world F1.
And all of this recall, to prove only one, how trivial, thing: people in F1, despite appearances, are not oziębłymi robots, they never were, and feelings are deeply experiencing unhappiness padokowych friends (even if the track does not always prove yourself liking) * . The response in the event of Kubica, so nice and for us and for the driver only confirms this hypothesis. Shocking, but apparently true.
* It just shows that the driver (although often in the press' image penitent lofty buców, gburów or in another direction - the stars of) are najzwyklejszymi in the world of men (oh surprise!). At the end of the human species is to himself that, in the face of tragedy like to unite (even if the most recent example of the earthquake in Japan, which naturally raised the F1).
