I do not think the problem (or cost) is for his next racing insurance, but for his previous cover.Manoah2u wrote: ↑01 Nov 2018, 10:27IIRC he was in negotiations with Ferrari before his rally accident whilst still driving for Renault.
I think Kubica knows he's just not gonna race in F1.
Coughing up 20 million is a serious thing, where is he ever going to get the sponsors to do that, just to pay off his insurance?
He wouldn't have earned a single dollar yet, so pretty hard to achieve, when the question still remains whether he'll even be able
to get along with the speed of the pack. Williams right now is a cr*p team so he'd only be driving at the back, but even then,
if he'd be beaten by Sirotkin this year, or by Russell next year, that's not good for either himself nor his 'legacy'.
I think he knows this and knows he's just not gonna get a race seat. Then there's an opportunity to work at Ferrari, get good payment,
do development work for F1 cars, and probably get the chance to race Ferrari racecars (not f1) in certain classes or demo's.

How is that working out for you voting experts?
Seb will stay, is my feeling, and Ferrari will keep him until Charles is better than him. Seb is not made of glass, he is stubborn and has that one mission. He does seriously need a win tho
