I thought he actually could speak Polish. He understood the question but answered it in English.

[@danielgorecki281]

He can speak polish, but not very well, so he prefers to answer in english
You can find some videos of him speaking polish tho

[@TheMatheww94]

There is a difference between understanding language and being able to speak fluent in it. When I visited UK first in 2009 I had pretty much the same situation - I was able to understand English but I couldn't really speak, I was just 13

@@TheMatheww94 I can relate to what you pointed out in your post to an extent being either about a year older than you or the same age. My first time in the UK wasn't in 2009, but I was also in more or less the same situation at the time in that I could understand English but didn't yet speak it as properly or hesitated to speak the language on my own. These days, I'm in a similar situation with the Japanese language (which I've tried to learn half-seriously since August 2017.) The level of fluency and understanding is more comparable to that of my English back in around 2005-2007, though.

Looks like Mercedes is not interested in Kubica :(

[@LS-Moto]

They got two drivers who get the job done. Why would they change? Kubica's return story is great, but he is also approaching his mid 30's. Its unlikely to get by that age to get picked up by a team like Mercedes or Ferrari, who have lots of younger new drivers in their academies. It'll be an achievement of Kubica gets considered my a team like Sauber or Renault, or Force India, but he won't be going to the best teams. His prime is long gone, even though his story of coming back to F1 is incredible.
