It's almost as if you are attributing human characteristics to a machine. The only apparent "difference" is the unique driving style of the Polish pilot. It does not require a masters degree in mechanical engineering to comprehend this simple reality.

Kubica has been complaining about not being able to acheive the right "set up". This is gibberish. You just drive the wheels off whatever you are given even if it means, in Williams case, racing your own teammate a lap or two behind the leaders.

chicorytip wrote: » Contracts can be broken. I think he needs to improve his race, as opposed to qualifying, performance. He finished sixteen seconds behind Russell despite having one less pitstop on Sunday. The method he has developed for turning the steering wheel is effective up to a point but he must be losing a lot of time through the corners and chicanes in comparison to his fully able bodied competitors. Williams are not going to keep him on if he remains so far adrift in the latter stages of the season.

Got it down to a fine art though I must say. Proper handy to have slots for the barrier posts to just slide into place in the road already.
