    The new Force India -- went from conventional roll hoop to a blade, like the Team Lotus car (and last year's Merc):

    Check this pic and you'll know how lucky Kubica and his co-driver were to escape with their lives.

    From that, it's incredible that he lived through it, much less that he still has all his limbs....

    The Lotus Renault team boss said it's likely who they choose as Kubica's replacement will depend on how long he'll be out. I think he'll soon realize he needs to revise that thought since they're unlikely to know when (if) Kubica will be driving again until he's almost ready to do so. Give him credit for his optimism though, and his belief in Bob's recuperative powers.

    Here's the last half of an article found on crash.net:

    Boullier optimistic on Kubica return, eyes substitutes

    I saw a video from the next car on the road. Those guard rails are very scary. The ends do not bend down they just jut out waiting to spear a car. As that simulation shows Robert did not hit on the end, but in the middle. He is very lucky to still be with us.

    Seems very optimistic with the apparent injuries and surgeries he's had and is going to have; to think that he is going to be back in an F1 car this season, much less competitively..... Hope I'm wrong. :(

    How about Nico Hulkenburg for Renault? The Hulk was going pretty well last year, especially towards the end of the season....

    OOOPS! It probably never crossed Ferrari's mind but given their history of enthusiastically going after even the slightest infringement of their trademarks; they should not be surprised.

    Ford owns the name and has every right to defend it; even if a comparison between the the two vehicles would be ludicrous ....

    I like how Ford is being "damaged" by the Ferrari association.....:D

    I could see it the other way around, if Ford named the new F150 pickups "Enzo's"

    Who the heck cares what a RACE CAR IS CALLED....

    It's not like they will be selling them across the street from the Ford dealer. And good for Ferrari for simply adding an additional word to get around it......:rolleyes5:

    Nice pic of the difuser and all of the sensors. WOW
