McCabism: Kubica's accident

Monday, June 11, 2007

Poland's Robert Kubica intends to race at the American Grand Prix on Sunday, after this accident yesterday. I'd be impressed.

Gordon McCabe said...: I'll have to check on that. The monocoque still looks like it's in one piece. I suspect that in the event of a huge impact, even if the monocoque is intact, they'll discard it as a precautionary measure; there could be damage to the carbonfibre weave which isn't visible.; 6:40 pm
Anonymous said...: I think you may be underestimating the damage to the car, Gordon. To my admittedly untrained eye, it would appear that he "made shit of it." Though as I said, that's very much the view of a casual observer.; 9:49 am
Gordon McCabe said...: Actually, looking at the final photo again, you can see Kubica's feet, which means that the monocoque itself was damaged, so it would indeed be a write-off.; 7:05 pm
