Robert Kubica is currently under the knife at the Santa Corona hospital in Pietra Ligure for the reduction of internal bleeding and the reduction of multiple fractures found after this morning's accident at the Ronde di Andora rally. Subsequently, he will be operated on his right hand by Dr. Igor Rossello, doctor of the Ligurian regional hand surgery center. The first bulletin, scheduled for 14pm, has been postponed. Further updates coming soon.

As always happens in these cases, the most disparate conditions are also being discussed regarding Kubica's condition. What appears to be the case, fortunately, of course, is that the pilot's life is NOT in danger, and this is already a huge relief. As regards physical conditions, some networks report problems with his right hand and multiple fractures including the femur of one leg. The worst rumors (we repeat, we are talking about rumors that we hope are not confirmed) talk about amputation of the leg and serious problems with the hand.

Robert Kubica was the victim of a serious accident this morning in the first round of the Ronde Rally in Andora, Liguria. The Polish driver, after an excellent shakedown yesterday in which he achieved the first time at the wheel of his Skoda Fabia Super 2000, crashed violently this morning during the first test of the Rally. While his co-driver Jakub Gerber remained unharmed, Robert was extracted (apparently conscious) by firefighters from the sheet metal of the car, and transported under code red to the Pietra Ligure hospital.

With this piece we want to act as a spokesperson for a general discontent, which is affecting historic Formula 1 fans year after year, who for the umpteenth time feel like this sport is losing its original connotation. Vain hopes... Frankly, we can't stand it anymore. The rule on the rear mobile wing is the straw that will probably break the back of an already overflowing camel and for some already overflowed for some time.

The 2011 season officially opened yesterday, with the first of three days of testing in Valencia. And, like every year, we are faced with different 'factions' that judge the reliability of these tests very differently: let's see which ones they are: Those who...the tests don't mean anything. Many enthusiasts believe that the winter tests show little about the teams' true values ​​on the field. This is due to the need to 'cover' obvious performance advantages, and therefore not wanting to show the competition the real potential of one's single-seater. Furthermore, now for the first race, the cars will change a lot. Lap times, therefore, are not considered at all, except to understand the reliability of the single-seaters.

The new Red Bull for the 2011 season was revealed a few minutes ago. Adrian Newey's new jewel seems, from these first images, even more extreme than the previous and already excellent RB6.

The latest news of the day in Valencia was the new Renault-Lotus R31. The new creature was revealed in the pit lane around 12.30pm. It was the task of Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov to lift the veil that covered the new shapes of the car that they will bring to the track.
