You gotta wonder why mgmt even let's them do stuff like that in the off season.

McLaren prolly keep Lewis in cryostasis, Han Solo-style, in between media/training gigs during the northern winter.

poor kube. that is devastating, could even be career ending for him. :( yeah It's surprising more teams don't have clauses in the contracts stating what drivers can and can't do in their off season. look at webber and his farken endurance events. how well has that worked....not. great way to start a season recovering from a few broken bones.

I mean if you really want to do tarmac rally, or mountain biking etc surely it can wait till after your (short) F1 career? isn't driving F1 cars for 9-10 months a year excitement enough. I would think you would not want to do anything to jeopardise the small window any driver has in F1.

Anyway, I'll be praying for you (or whatever I do in place of prayer) Kube. Hope to see you back on track soon and in a decent car too. bobby kube is without doubt one of the best prospects in the current crop of 'young' drivers and this time out will hurt his progress badly. :(

yeah agreed the testing bad sucks but I'm with stinky. I would not want my mega buck F1 drivers doing tarmac rallies on their time off. the stats tell you the chance of damage is high.

geeebus!! (and ouch)

why is it everyone seems to hit the end or guard rails??? see it on highway crashes too. there can be 100's of km's of nothing, then as soon as you add a guard rail someone will hit it. even if they extend the guard rail after the first one. the next car will hit it earlier.....are they magnetic? or are most people just that scared of em that they end up staring at them till they hit it??? (obv this wasnt the case with Kube)....but.....weird

+1 for the HRT car. looks the busines, love the way its advertising where you can buy advertising

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
