I woke up this morning to the shocking news that Polish Renault F1 driver Robert Kubica was injured and suffered multiple fractures to his right hand and leg in a crash after taking part in the Ronde di Andorra rally event in Italy.

 

Initially, I thought it was just another minor incident that happens to drivers during the off-season, and that he might make a full recovery quickly. However, as more information filtered through, it turns out that it might be far more serious than expected and Kubica might even be forced to sit out the entire season.

 

For me, Kubica is one of the most talented drivers on the F1 grid at the moment, and the accident comes as a stunning blow with mere weeks to go before the 2011 Formula One season starts.

 

Fellow Formula One drivers have already expressed their sympathy for their stricken fellow competitor on Twitter. McLaren's Jenson Button wrote, "Shocking news about Robert Kubica. I wish him a speedy recovery."

 

Other tweets came from Williams' Rubens Barrichello, who said, "I would like to ask you for your best wishes to Kubica. He is being operated right now. We all like him and he deserves all the best.", while Lotus' Hekki Kovalainen and Toro Rosso's Sebastian Buemi also added in their well-wishes, the Finn tweeting, "All thoughts on Kubica tonight, he's a great guy, lets hope operations go well and he makes full recovery." and Buemi adding, "All my support to Robert Kubica. I am with you man"

 

I'm sure any supporter of Formula One would echo those thoughts to Kubica. Formula One drivers are a notably resilient lot, with Mark Webber also bouncing back from a broken leg in 2009 to make a spirited challenge for the title. Let's hope Kubica makes a speedy recovery and gets back to full racing action as soon as possible.

How do you echo a thought? Would he be able to hear them? If not, is he any better off?

 

More rehashing of other people's articles. Nothing to see here. Go back to your homes.

Sebastian Buemi is a Finn?

 

Wheres the proofreading on this site? I'd never allow this on the site where I mod.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters. Meh, nothing special, right? Wrong. Here’s why Godzilla Minus One should be an action movie you should definitely catch. In this version, the timeless clash between monster and man is once again set against the tumultuous backdrop of post-war Japan. But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli

    The enduring charm of Singapore wet markets

    I know I’m idealising it all - as a not-so-young millennial that can’t remember the last time he cooked a full meal for himself. (That was probably a good two years ago.) But moving on slightly from morning walks now, the space I’ve found myself frequenting when I feel like I need a break from the routines of everyday life (or to simply clear my head) isn’t the park. It’s the basement level of Punggol Plaza. That a wet market even exists here should be surprising. Punggol, after all, is qui

    Singapore weather: Rainy or sunny, what’s healthier for you?

    Singapore can be that predictably unpredictable equatorial city, where the skies shift from radiant sunshine to torrential downpour in mere moments. Given how things have been the past few weeks, I’ve subconsciously found myself pondering the impact of this mercurial weather on our health. What does the internet say: Is it the sun-drenched days that truly invigorate us, or do the rhythmic rains offer a more profound rejuvenation? In a city where the climate dances between these two ext
