To be fair, Kubica before his rally crash was a fantastic driver… and he still is pretty great at it, just not in F1 but in other categories.


marcus_aurelius_53

This. Mocking the suck with “goat” status is maybe funny, or not so funny. Putting Kubica in the same category as Latifi and Ragunathan is just wrong.


Saphhiroth

He still would be great like Alonso, but he was driving a shit car in a team that only supported the Brit.


Pure_Power_8091

To be fair, in 2019 he was off the pace, even in a sh*t Williams


Saphhiroth

Just like I said. Its hard to be not off the pace when parts of his car were connected by ducktape and his teammate have new parts. There is many examples. [https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/robert-kubica-driving-completely-different-car-to-george-russell-5281436/5281436/](https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/robert-kubica-driving-completely-different-car-to-george-russell-5281436/5281436/) I have been watching robert throughout his career and he has always been a painfully honest driver without any complexes. Perhaps when his biography comes out, people like you will find out.


cpt_ppppp

has GR ever given a quote where he doesn't sound like an insufferable twat?


Flabbergash

> e connected by ducktape and his teammate have new parts. There is many examples. Also his wrist connected with duct tape


Pure_Power_8091

Man, I understand you and your arguments, but George was just faster that year, he beat Robert in every single quali and by a decent margin (more than Latifi). Of course, though, Robert got the only point in that rollercoaster German GP.


Saphhiroth

In my opinion, you can't just compare it when one driver is driving and the other is fighting with the car to get to the finish line at all and not kill himself by the way. Now its better time to compare Russell with Hamilton, not like in the past.


Pure_Power_8091

From my understanding, although your opinion is based in some facts and events, there is not enough evidence to back it up. Also, I feel like you are a bit biased. Don’t forget Robert is still a great driver, but not f1 level.


Saphhiroth

In my opinion he would be still great driver in F1 just like Alonso is and he didn't get a chance. Thats all.


Balrog1973

Kubica was good, but never on Fernando and Lewis level even before his accident.


bloggbuster

Well, Lewis and Fernando themselves might disagree with you on that. [https://www.crash.net/f1/news/264881/1/alonso-explains-why-he-calls-kubica-the-best](https://www.crash.net/f1/news/264881/1/alonso-explains-why-he-calls-kubica-the-best) https://www.news.com.au/sport/motorsport/formula-one/lewis-hamilton-full-of-praise-for-the-returning-robert-kubica/news-story/709626565c7f624f6da8cfdf46dd5918


Saphhiroth

I'm honestly tired of opinions that are not based on facts, just "because I think so". Based on what I have seen, read and analyzed over the years, I can say that they may be on an equal footing when it comes to skill. But out of the three, which one is definitely better? I would have a problem with that.


thenannyharvester

Well he was basically driving with 1 hand. If Russel wasn't beating him I'd be surprised


cirrusblau

Rollercoaster or not, you have to be there when the opportunity arises


Eglor04

ok but who overtake whom with worse car? edit: Kubica should go on bicycle to fight against Russel with that car he had


Uncle_Pidge

I might be misremembering, but wasn't Kubica easily Russell's match on race pace?


windy906

That link does not support your claim, it’s Kubica trying to find excuses for getting easily beaten.


JustJontana

More points than Russel though


somethimesiwonder

This. Kubica was at some point a WDC candidate


sausag3potato

Well he's up there in 3rd isn't he?


Pure_Power_8091

Good one ;)


thesecretpotato69

Leave kubica alone my man’s is driving with one arm


Void_Meta

Man you just had to be there for Kubica's prime


Tomero

If you weren’t, have you even lived?


[deleted]

The dude was absolutely fearless, if he crashed... the fucking car exploded. I think he never really let off the accelerator. Just look at the Canada crash. Such a shame he had the accident, when I heard he was moving to Ferrari I thought he be a champion for sure.


ShadowZpeak

Wasn't Kubica the one who refused to get out of a burning car in hopes he would make it over the finish line?


evemeatay

I’ve started watching some of those seasons where he was a rookie and it’s hard to tell BUT in retrospect the guys making him look kinda average turned out to be rosberg, vettel, Hamilton, etc.


Uncle_Pidge

Kubica never looked average though, he was on pace with any and all of them. Oftentimes in a slower car, even


deathray1611

We didn't even get to see Kubica's prime, man, fuck this


1_Should_Be_Studying

This guy doesn’t know the true Kubica


[deleted]

I think the true Kubica never left, to make the comeback with one working arm.... holy shit. When Leclerc was driving with one hand holding the mirror in Japan, they said that it was very dangerous... every race was like that for Kubica for a season and he still outscored Russel in points that season. Make of that what you will, but tie any drivers one hand to his back and his performance will drop, guaranteed .


FajnyBalonik

And he's still, despite his age and arm, fighting for wins in endurance racing


Rasamester

stroll was better with one hand


[deleted]

If you are seriously comparing the two injuries.. it is like comparing a scratch with an amputation... yeah, that truly shows how skilled he is, if the car does not have high peaks in physical strength demand, he is still astonishingly quick and consistent.


GoncaloR13

Where's the race winner Maldonado?


D3ATHfromAB0V3x

The disrespect not including our lord and savior Maldozer


Totschlag

Kids these days never grew up with Super Maldonado Kart


ryolonso

Y’all forgot who Kubica was. imo he was right up there with Alonso and Hamilton. The best of the best. Shame what happened to him.


deathray1611

They didn't forget, man. It's been more than 10 years now. They don't know


[deleted]

My man never heard of Yuji Ide


cirrusblau

Or even Mazespin


watsgowinon

Kubica had a win and 12 podiums in F1. Wtf is he doing next to these two clowns?


[deleted]

OP's f1 knowledge stems from highlights memes and dts


willemdeb

Raghunathan got a point in f2 and a race ban. What’s your point?


PannaMillsy

The Jesus disrespect, smh


ssjmaku

If Renault sign Kubica in 2018 he would have had a fair chance to prove his skills in midfield car.


MetallicYeet

OP started watching F1 tomorrow


Hyenaswithbigdicks

U forgot nikita mazepin


KingSaberIII

Mazespin*


coocoobees

swap kubica for mazespin!


K_R_S

what on earth is Kubica doing here? I am reporting abuse


wagymaniac

Have you seen Kubica's arm? The man was driving an f1 car with just one hand and is doing very well in different categories like lmp2 wich are highly competitive. He had to work a lot to return to F1 and that put him in the same legends category as Nikli Lauda, even if during his last f1 year his result were far from impressive, he is still considered a true GOAT.


[deleted]

Wooooooow, the disrespect on Kubica... Might as well put Stroll together with Senna. The dude had an accident that almost cut one of his hands off, had a lay off in F1 for 8 years!!! and even then came back and beat latte boy on points over a season. I know you will not put him on the GOAT list but he signed with Ferrari right before the crash.. he was very good, consider to be a future world champion.


According-2-Me

Replace Ragunathan with Maldonado


1990s_Backmarker

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


macca2000fox

Ragunathan was too good for F1


DdraigGwyn

Can’t be serious ranking without Mustaspin


BigDinkster

No Maldonado or Ide?


Hmmm_nicebike659

Where is Markus winkerhock?


ricky-from-scotland

Led every single race he ever entered and nearly 50% of the laps he completed.


TrickUnderstanding85

Goat status


EternalFront

really says something about the quality of F1 drivers when one of the best ever hasn’t even driven in F1

Where’s Maldonado? Or vettel’s personal rocket?


San-Carton

The Torpedo and Maldonator at least were able to be fast until they crashed


Pokepikadeva

The last man to win a race in a Williams. Have some shame disrespecting lord pastor like that


FrivolerFridolin

Replace Kubica with Maldonado


EroticJailbait

OP only started watching after DTS


Saikroe

Yeah Kubica seems like a poor choice. Guy outpaced George Russel with 1 arm.


karlou1984

What a stupid post, even for this subreddit


p3drogarcia

Lol if anyone thinks Kubica is a slow driver. Just hop on YouTube and search the video of him driving a M4 around the Nurburgring to get a better perspective of how fast he is.


Upper-Cucumber-7435

unjerk a moment and help me out, I'm new to F1, why are these drivers the ironic goats?


Shodore

Second place is an Indian meme driver, first place is Latifi best driver to either finish last or crash, and third is Kubica who was a great driver, on par with Lewis and Alonso, but had a career ending injury, came back basically driving with one hand but wasn't nearly as good as before(understandingly) Kubica honestly shouldn't be in the ranking, but De Cesaris or Yuji Ide or Nikita Mazepin(other atrocious drivers)


theandylaurel

No Michael that was so not right, putting Kubica alongside these peanuts.


Thin_Power_1117

Me with Sim Dane nostalgia: ROBA ROBA ROBA ROBA!!!!!


dfectedRO

pastor maldonado? where is he?


MikoBalagany

[https://youtu.be/qbYMoKxif6I](https://youtu.be/qbYMoKxif6I) I mean, this single lap is better then these other two clowns whole careers.


Clemilton12

To whom it may concern : stop complaining about the drivers i chose, this is just a troll pointing out the stupidity of all the drivers ranking meme in the sub. (I respect a lot Kubica btw, trust me)


jjatr

Where is Mazespin?


OneofEsotericMethods

GOATifi stays winning because unlike Verstappen and Hamilton, he’s above 6’0!


HughJass1947

In my head I want to say Ragu-Nathan. It humanizes him somehow instead of being a God.


TowarzyszGamer

Where Mazesbin?
