About Kubica I had a sheer impression. That Michelin called him back, as the more inexperienced and younger driver, to mount on dry tyres and check if it worked, just as the sacrifice lamb. It screwed his good race.
It happened the same with Rosberg, called back to test dry Bridgestone. Am I the only one thinking about that?
I read on tbk that Kubica himself had asked for the dry tires despite his team suggesting intermediates which later bit him.

I don't read TBK anymore, but if the source (Kubica himself) is correct I can't say nothing if not I had a wrong impression
I saw several sources saying that it was Kubica to ask for dry tyres. Cannot rate him among the drivers of the race at this point

Gilles also had to disengage TC? ;)
rofl, Gilles would slap you with a trout if you even mentioned TC to him. :tongue:
Gilles slap you around a bit......Yes.
Trout..... :huh: ......... That'd be the least of your problems...... :haha:
