Absolute legend, I've never wanted someone to win a world championship in future more than this man now.
SMEAJ verstappen😂😂😂
Ver got 20 years to do that ;p
@@MrUnique700 only took him 4
People getting hyped, rightfully so, but we need to realise how truly difficult it is to control these monsters anyway, let alone with only partial use of one of your arms with steers, shifts and more. And he completed almost two race distances which is incredible, improved by about 6 seconds over the day. Take a bow Robert, what a man you are.
Krishnan Sen why would Robert take a bow?
l,erwgpü3,ü2342 It's an expression it basically means he should be proud of himself.
its all too easy to remember the world champion in the making that was robert kubica approaching his prime
shame what happened, good to see him driving again but its too soon to talk about him returning with what is essentially one arm
it should be noted that if he does return it will be a major blight on whoever has to leave to make it possible, and an incredible achievement on kubica's part if what he's already done isn't incredible enough
this is easily the greatest story in all sports for 2017. and when he actually makes it back into a race it will go down as one of the best comebacks in sporting history.
blight on who? palmer? umm. no one will will feel bad for him having to leave..
Kubica> Palmer please Renault give him a seat!!
With some practice getting used to driving with his arm i think he can make it back. He was really good before his accident
gunner4934 Well, the best time of Kubica in the test was faster than the time of Palmer in Qualy
Kubica wont do shit he is way to overhyped. He will be exactly like Schumacher a publicity stunt who will not deliver results. Palmer is way better and he can improve over time. Kubica will do shit
Alexandru Carjan Schumacher - the 7 time world champion?
+Alexandru Carjan You mean Ralf I hope
Alexandru Carjan Yeah, you said before.
I think this says a lot about his character and talent. He completed almost 2 race distances and was getting quicker. Even with some physical limitations, new cars and regulations... he's still quick :/
Jraybay i think that Robert has more talent of Seb, Lewis and Fernando. He is for me one of the best F1 drivers ever, only for driving in test for 142 laps after at least 6 years to his accident.... And with that arm.... He still driver way faster than Palmer in Qualifying... For me with a top team and with more training, he Can still win the title...
Mondo Random He is my favorite driver of all Time. I was destroyed when I saw his accident... It changed my life and I Am so happy to see him in an F1 car agaon
Frank Funkel i'm a Ferrari fan, maybe he can be in Ferrari in 2019-2020? It's difficult, but who knows... I think that now, whitout his accident, he would be in Ferrari or Mercedes, at the 1st place... For me if Renault Will do a great car, he can still be the fastest...
Mondo Random no he is not. Stop overhyping him
hannu ainsalo we'll se in 2018... You can think what you want but the next season he'll do well... And you'll be Happy of this i think
To be faster than both Renault drivers on his race runs, and do over 2 race distances, the first time in the 17 car! Wow massiiiivee respect to him, somebody get the man a pint! Hope he gets a proper comeback.
Keiran George He was faster than Palmer (with a softer compound though) but Hulkenberg posted a better time a Q3. Still. Mega job from Robert. Driving an F1 car again was an achievement on its own, but he really pushed and posted some really impressive lap times
Ofitus 21 when he completed a race run on the same tyre types he was quicker than both Hulkenberg and Palmer.
HarryBrock testing is different from race conditions. You dont know about fuel loads and tyre strategies. Hulkenberg is pretty quick. And expecting Kubica to be faster than him in his first test is unrealistic
1) He was doing a race simulation run so fuel load for Kubica would be fairly heavy
2) Both on same type of tyres
3) The track may have been quicker on the testing day because of the track rubbering in
That's true, I'm still shocked at how competitive he is, just shows how good these guys are. Also, Paul Di Resta, who unfortunately failed to finish in the race.
"Thats a historical win Robert, you are leading the championship now." Who else remembers that?
I remember that dude, begin of 2008 was beatiful
"Someone left a phone in my cockpit..."
THERAZORKILLE 'Should I throw it out'
"What I should do, throw it away or come in?"*
Anthony Bilbe
Palmer- "DON'T THROW IT, IS MINE!"
I wasn't that much of a fan of Kubica when he used to be in F1, but God damn is sheer determination and grit he showed since his accident inspiring. He's like a Polish Terminator (Pollinator? Nah that'd make him a honeybee, could be a nice nickname IMO), he doesn't quit until he reaches his goal. Reminds me of Alex Zanardi and how determined he was (and is) to show that big injuries do not have to stop you from following your dreams/passion. Best to you Robert, you absolutely deserve to get an F1 seat again, perhaps more than many others!
What a story it would be to see Robert sitting on the starting grid in Spa. Proper racing driver. Palmer out, Kubica in!
FuriousFunghi he won't come back this year. Renault confirmed it. Hopefully he will be in the car next season
Alright, in that case fingers crossed for next season!
They didn't. Read carefully what Abiteboul said. He said that "the PLAN" is to complete the season with the drivers they already have. But, you know, plans can change :). Cyril also said, after the first test, in Valencia, that it was "a one off", later said no to Kubica in Hungaro tests and here we are so...
Reading these comments and reading comments in new videos about Kubica crushes my heart. People really believe he is that bad. No respect for him at all. He is actually a test driver for GR right now and people who are not into Kubica's situation just mock him. The situation from Monza has clearly showed, that without a doubt, Williams just wanted Orlen's money and they don't care about RK. For these who don't know : Kubica was testing front wing in Friday, in Saturday GR was using it while Kubica was using Russel's wing and suddenly the feeling in a car changed 180 degrees (watch Kubica's interviews where he talks about it).
Can't wait for him to return! He is a hero here in Poland!
I can imagine that! Im from the Netherlands and also love him!
Max Verstappen is also a great talentet driver, He got this, for sure !!! Let's hope we will se them both on the grid some day, that would be great racing, yeah !!! Regards from RK fan from POALAND :-)
I'm very proud of this guy.
Aż mi się przypominają czasy kiedy chodziłem do przedszkola i bawiliśmy się w Kubicę.
pewnie wozny zajezdzal do twojego pit stopu xD
o chuj xD
Nobody deserved this cockpit more than Kubica! I think his recovery shows that he is a extremly abitious person who will definetly get on the level of the over F1 drivers even with on arm. And he is also a huge help for the team with all of his experiences in motorsport, he will help the Team to build a faster car with all his feedback. So come on Renault give him a chance, he can't be worse than Palmer ;D
Would have been mad banter if he knocked Palmers name down instead of Hulks :'D
Aedric LOL i wish man
That would've been more banter than Honda
Such an underrated driver. I hope he will make a great comeback. Good luck Kubica
Kubica is a modern-day legend. He deserves his place much more than Palmer and that's coming from a proud ENglishman!
Let's go Kubica!! We love you dude!
Loved Kubica, he was looking amazing before the injury :( Hope to see him back and in a car comparable to his competitiveness last time
After his first and to date only win in Canada, it would be so amazing to see Kubica achieve his second win in F1 one day!
Still remember his crash @ Canada like it was yesterday...damn..
I hope he returns to F1, he is an amazing driver
F1 will become so much more popular if Kubica comes back.
Anthony Bilbe Even if F1 loses some fans due to the introduction of the Halo, a return from Kubica and an arrival from young talents like Leclerc will easily make up that loss
Ofitus 21 Agreed.
Polish fans will turn back watching F1
BMW should return in F1 too, it can be a great powerhouse again
No fucking way..... taht Halo will ruin everything and Kubica isn't good enough. Lol, who's Leclerc?? Stop joking around people... We need Mick Schumacher if you want F1 relived.
He is a very down to earth guy. And I admire that. There's a lot of people who could learn a lot from Robert!
Kubica IN
Palmer OUT
This man is bigger than F1 itself. Gotta love him, such an amazing story of dedication and recovery
The dislikes are from palmer his family
palmer's*
Is that Nico's Hulkenberg cap? xD
adamlitzz It is!
Yeah I think so too
No it has Palmers and Hulkenburgs signatures either side along with their nationalities, because they're renaults main drivers this season.
The Hulk almost never wears it anyway, so why not?
Robert, whether you get a drive in 2018 (or even 2017) or not, you've been missed; it's great to see you back, even if it's just testing.
#Comeback2018 #Kubica #Budatest
Österreichischer Patriot Jo, mit van der Bellen's Unterstützung klappt alles :)
Holy crap! The difference in size from his arms! Really gives you perspective as to how bad he was hurt.
Robert you are a true hero... My deepest respect!
Nice to see him return like this!
He truly did an amazing job driving 2 race lengths and setting real competitive laptimes.
#KubicaInSpa
Kubica and hulk at renault. This would be one of the best duos at the moment
Palmer out of F1 & Kubica in at Renault - Bottas should be given a new contract at Mercedes - Leclerc for Ericsson - Alonso to Williams if Massa is retiring & JB back at Mclaren.
JB is done, give Giovinazzi a chance. Otherwise i like these suggestions
Andre Macleod Ericsson out qualified him at Melb so idk. You could easily pick Di Resta instead, but a team like Mclaren would want a bigger driver
Andre Macleod Giovinazzi should not drive f1. He is the worst driver on grid by remembering how he wrecked his carvon hungary and china
defo alonso for williams would be good
Leclerc for magussen
MASSIVE Respect for this guy. He deserves a full time ride, NOW.
Swapping palmer for kubica in career mode when f1 2017 comes out
I had no idea Kubica had suffered such an injury, holy shit. That's a hell of a thing to come back from.
welcome home Robert!! Well done, see you soon in f1 gp :D
Kubica could be a real challange for Hulk. Would be nice to see two very strong drivers in the developing renault!
Great driver and fighter. Love to see him back.
What an inspirational guy. huge amount of respect for him. Hope to see Kubica race this season
A return to F1 is what the sport needs. What an amazing story. And let's face it, it's not like Renault will lose any potential points if they replace Palmer. I hope to see him in 2018, or even after the summer break.
Back in a formula 1 car after everything that has happened to him, he never gave up #Legend
Impressed with Liberty, you know how to treat F1 fans...
True... now throw the Halo cockpit out of the window.
First points are in the bag at monza
Jesper Mug or even Spa!
MetallLord 2846 renault promised palmer will drive at spa.. unfortunately
Renault's promises mean shit tbh, they have promised many things and pretty much none of them came true
apparently renault also said palmer was safe for 2018...im pretty sure even palmer doesnt believe that...
There's no way in hell they said that, they might have said he was safe for the rest of 2017, but no for 2018.
Robert you da real MVP, I'm not able to enjoy F1 without you anymore. Greetings from Slovakia and best of luck, hope to see you in race soon!
WOW. This guy is better than Stroll, Palmer, and Hulkenberg even with that injury.
Who else was annoyed by that loose thread hanging from his left sleeve during the press conference?
that's the thing that stood out the most to me in the video D:
We can duck tape cars together, but nobody in the team decided to get a pair of scissors to cut that thread.
Astfgl Renault: we can build a multi-million dollar car, but a simple T-shirt is too god damn hard
Nah, I think of it as Bobby going full OP with his guns. His shirt can't even handle it.
Okay, I may be pumping his tires, but that loose thread was distracting.
The German flag on his cap wasn't far more annoying for me
Wczoraj siedziałem jak na szpilkach i śledziłem wyniki testów, chciałem żeby Kubica był najszybszy - to nie wyszło ( pierwszy dzień w nowym RS17 ) , ale wtrakcie zobaczyłem wyniki i międzyczasy długich przejazdów i jak sobie to przeliczyłem i zobaczyłem regularność Roberta to wyszło mi podium w niedzielnym GP . Kubica to robot na torze. Dobry samochód + Kubica = Mistrzostwo Świata :)
If he did in fact do a good job yesterday he will find a car for 2018. He was regarded as a great talent, if he is fit to drive he will get a car (Renault or other). He probably will get some big company on his back as well + its great publicity for F1 + his salary wont be astronomical + he was always consistent. We all want to see him back and fighting, and if he says he can do it its very likely he can. Go Robert!!!
I didnt really watch alot of F1 back in the day but I have specific memory of Kubica in the Sauber going around a corner so fast sliding the whole car but extremely smooth and thinking to myself "This guy is special"
Palmer --> destroys cars
Kubica --> destroys garages
Renault witch costs are higher so select wisley
Pretty mild mishap. Better that than to run over someone.
When he hit the garage, i've never laughed so hard
F4H Turbyo when did this happen?
You must have never laughed before
3:08 he hits the garage and tears down the Nico Hulkenberg sign.
Sorry to bring this to you but your life sounds boring.
F4H Turbyo He's just making his mark...
#nohalo and #no palmer
j #KubicaIn
give kubica a car for 2018 and will be ok with halo
Great to see Kubica back in F1, even if it is just testing for now🏎 🇵🇱
I'd love to see Kubica racing using all of his talent
Get this man the seat for GOD sake!
Give this man a seat!
What an example of character. A true champion in the heart.
I literally cried when I saw this in my notifications.
One of The greatest Driver 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
We love you Robert from Australia. Hope you will be back.
Give this man a Wheel. Now. Here's a man, a pilot, worthier than several others who actually have a seat in F1.
Lorenzo Pasini beautifully said
This man is one of the most unbelievable people in modern sport - pure talent, hard worker with no ego. This story needs to continue.
Well done Robert #Palmerout #Kubicain
Marco Giorgini Marco!!! Anche tu lo rivorresti in formula 1? Non so se te ne sei accorto ma lui con un braccio "menomato", 6 anni senza aver toccato una monoposto, tutte quelle operazioni, ha girato più veloce della qualifica di Palmer... #PalmerOut #KubicaIn
Marco Giorgini jolyoff
Marco Giorgini #PalmerOut
Jolyon Palmer Why you kicking yourself out? :D
paskowany Because even he knows that he es a bad racedriver
I always wanted Kubica to come back
Forgot how good he actually was....
This is really motivating what a guy 😃😃😃
Give this man a f1 car !
He´s a hell of a driver.
I really hope that he come back as best as he ever was.
2 new records for kubica:
NR1: Driver with the longest period with a break inbetween sitting an formula one car (no researches done so if i am wrong, its just a joke!)
NR2: Driver to make the fastest accident after a long period of break 0,4 sec
hopefully he can make it back to F1 =)
we *LOVE* you Kubica
What a humble guy, and a great fighter. F1 desperately needs a hero. Renault could make a new legend! You guys on the current grid, be prepared for the storm!
I hope him and Hulk will be brothers in arms
This man is just raw talent !
#ForzaKubica
See you on the grid in 2017, yup i did say 2017 !
He's back!
You can do it Robert! Keep pushing.
Would be nice to have him back 2018, but lets not rush Things!
I think of mick doohan when I see kubica. Doohan had severe damage to his right calf and was unable to rear brake, so the engineers designed a 'thumb brake' for him instead. He was so successful with this modification, and his talent, that he became a 5 time 500cc world champion.
If he comes back for the remainder of his season or the start of next f1 season then this will be one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history let alone f1 history.
"See ya later" Palmer
Yeah! Brawo Robert! Trzymam kciuki😀
the Laptimes are stunning...let that Man practice and he will be ready
So happy for this nice guy :)
He deserves a chance on a race weekend!
I mean apart from clonking the garage door... He did a very good job!
grande robert gran piloto que hizo maravillas en su momento ojala y vuelva y aunque no sea full competitivo le deseamos lo mejor
God I hope he comes back. He could be a great inspiration to those in similar situations, such as Billy Monger
Good guy, glad to see him back in an F1 car. Hopefully he gets back in!
Welcome back!!!! So happy to see you driving!
FORZA KUBICA! Great clip... but you need to show more polish fans, there was a lot of people yesterday :)
Go Kubica ! Greetings from Monaco.
I Met Robert years ago on a flight from Munich to Krakow, we talked 3 hours about F1 racing ,what a great tallent.
There's no person on earth able to get more out of a F1 Car.
Roberts Tallent and willing to win a race, is a must for Formula one , WELCOME BACK ROBERT.
Bring Robert back to F1! We waiting! Kubica #1 Best driver in the world! forza 💪
2:36 makes me cry
This man is an inspiration, possibly one of my idols, such an incredible person and I'm so glad that he's back in the car. #KubicaIn
Please come Robert back and show us your Drivingskills!
I want this guy back in F1. Maybe even one of the fastest guys before his crash and a great person in general!
One of the nicest guys in F1, I really hope he can race in F1 again.
One of the most twisty circuits too, what a talent. Needs to come back!
He's more than fast enough, he can do full race runs, he has the experience of wheel to wheel battling, he has loads of fans - Williams please sign him!
Quick F1 history lesson: Without Kubica's horrible accident in Montreal 2007 Vettel would have never been a real F1 title competitor, he basically owes his career to that crash.
Back then Vettel was still a test driver for BMW Sauber F1. Since Kubica obviously had to recover from that massive 250km/h impact into a concrete wall Vettel took his seat and had his racing debut in Indianapolis 2007, scoring an 8th place in that race. Later through a shall we call it "dispute" that caused the driver Scott Speed to leave Toro Rosso, Vettel gained his first actual seat in F1 in Hungary 2007.
