Monte Carlo and bust…

Monaco, Thursday. BMW Sauber driver, Robert Kubica, has splashed out and bought himself a world rally car, a Skoda Fabia no less, for “private tests and fun” with suggestions he may contest the Rally of Poland after next months British… Grand Prix.

It is probably fair to say that the Polish star is not having the best of seasons so far, after ending 2008 as a serious championship contender. Now, Kubica and team mate Nick Heidfeld, are “fighting at the wrong end of the midfield” as one press release described it, “or at the back” – as anybody else would.

After letting listeners, know about the “disastrous” handling of his car over the radio before winding up 16th in practice one, he got only as far as Casino Square in the second session, where his Beemer gave up the will to live in a cloud of smoke and flames.

Rumours that, for the rest of the weekend, Robert has asked the stewards for dispensation to use the Skoda instead, are believed to be unfounded.
