F1:
Kubica injures leg in fall
by Virgil Ellipse

Rubiks Kubica
KUBICA, ROBERT
Robert Kubica, Canada 2007: he's in there somewhere.
The first Polish F1 racing driver, Robert Kubica also possesses the most remarkable nose seen in the sport since the days of Alain Prost. Even the 2004 Williams "walrus nose" didn't make as many people jump when they saw it for the first time.
Pushing his startling proboscis to one side for a moment (no mean feat in itself), Kubica has quickly come to be recognised as one of the very finest talents around. His exemplary 2008 season was seen by many as more deserving of a title than those of the McLaren and Ferrari drivers, who actually stood a chance of winning it.
His maiden victory in Canada during the 2008 season was scored at the track where a year previously he had crashed spectacularly, clipping Jarno Trulli's Toyota and becoming airborne before striking a crash barrier at over 185mph. The accident subjected Kubica momentarily to 75G but a trip to hospital revealed nothing more than light concussion and a sprained ankle.
Either safety had come a long way in F1 or they build them tough in Krakow.
TIGRA 16v: The tooltip with lowered suspension and a racing windscreen wiper
has injured his leg in a fall, with some sources suggesting that he has reopened a fracture sustained in his rally accident last year.
Adrenaline junkie Kubica was badly injured when he crashed during a rally he was competing in to stop himself getting bored over the winter following the 2010 F1 season. He has since undergone several operations and been repeatedly told to rest to aid his recovery.
It is understood that Kubica fell off a unicycle he was riding across a tightrope over a river full of crocodiles while juggling chainsaws.

F1
Formula 1
The world's most prominent, most expensive and frequently most tedious single-seater series.
F2
Formula 2
The new-for-2009 category is called F2 despite being a single-make series, which was why GP2 wasn't allowed to call itself F2 when it started. What is the FIA on? Oh yes..., Max Mosley.
