Is there any chance for Kubica to drive Mclaren car in season 2010? that would be shocker lol? Ron Denis is willing to pay big $ for the right driver

[Jensonb]

I heard Robert is far more interested in a BMW or Ferrari drive.

Quite right too. He'd be wasted in the Lewis Hamilton Show.

Kubi wants a winning car, and BMW is close to the top cars for now. But in the future who knows, it depends on the next year's performance of teams. Maybe his current team will be better than McLaren? Even if he would be payed a lot, Robert isn't in F1 for the big bucks, small bucks is enough And he'll get a big raise from Mario this year, I'm sure of it.

I'd like that to happen, but I don't see it. Maybe after Ron retire, or if Mercedes takes over... as it is, considering his friendship with Alonso (and Alonso's experience in McLaren), I'd really be surprised if Kubica even walks-by close to McLaren's garage.

Good point.

I don't see Kubica being at McLaren, but I really think he's a top driver and would love to see him in a McLaren. Although Hamilton has the potential to be a great driver and shown some flashes of brilliance, his gaffes and subversive personality put me right off him. At the minute, my dream team would Alonso and Kubica.

We all know I dont care for Alonso 'the person' after last year's fiasco but I have alway's admitted he is a very very talented driver, Robert and Fernando would be a very competative pairing.

Agree with all 3 sentences.
Except i'd rather see him bring his team to the top of the fight
But Alonso + Kubica would make a killer BMW team.

Till Alonso looses it.
I reckon lewis and Kubica would be a great team Dont think Kubica will go there tho. I think he will prefer to do it with a team like BMW who have not won recently

Kubica and Hamilton! Whether in the same team or not are i thin k the future chamions of F1. The best most talented drivers on the grid. Here is a quote from an article by Tony Dodgins
"A ground-level camera at the first chicane superbly illustrated the margins Hamilton was playing with. The confidence was absolute.So close was rim to concrete that it was almost impossible to believe it was judgement, not luck. But it was. You waited for the shunt and it never came. If there was another driver flirting with shattered carbon fibre almost as outrageously, it was Kubica."
Thats where the 6 tenths came from and thats where the win came from. The two most talented drivers.

I think Kubica is going to be at BMW for the long term.

Until Hamilton drives right into the back of Raikkonen, and subsequently lashes out against his own team, blaming them for his own mistake. Like I say, Hamilton has shown flashes of genius, but he needs more time to develop. Alonso, for instance, does not. Furthermore, Hamilton has to lose the attitude. I would not want a jumped-up, subversive clown like him working for my organisation. What Hamilton needs is a year or two driving for a team like the old Super Aguri to kick him back into touch.

I think Kubica would prefer Alonso as a team-mate than Hamilton. Somehow, when I see them both in the same team I see a disaster. Kubica could even learn from Alonso, because he's more experienced than him.

I think Kubica is going to be at BMW for the long term.

I think so too, especially if they continue with their development curve.

I noticed this very same from Hamilton in Monaco 07, when he was chasing Alonso about the Pool.
So yeah... there's your compliment

You also have to compliment the MP4's ability to handle direction change / weight shift. This is by far the MP4-22 and 23 's strongest feature. On the other hand, look at turn 8 in Turkey...
