Arsenal vs Tottenham Preview: Predicted lineups, match facts, odds and more

This is without a doubt one of the most anticipated Premier League matches of the season.

Love was never lost between Arsenal and Tottenham and this Sunday collision at the Emirates Stadium is guaranteed to make the pulse beat faster.

teams come to the game that needs a win after slipping last weekend – Arsenal fell 3-1 in Liverpool while Spurs at home suffered a surprise against Newcastle United . .

Neither team wants to give anything away and it could be a game of paper-thin margins.

It was an afternoon to forget Tottenham as they were beaten at home by Newcastle United

ARSENAL: Time for the Gunners to make a statement against a top six rival

The understandable dizziness surrounding Arsenal's summer transfer activities received a sobering reality check loss of 3-1 last Saturday in Liverpool.

Although there were times in Anfield when Liverpool seemed to be rattling by the speed and threat of Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, they were comfortable second best overall.

The moment of madness committed by David Luiz leading Mohamed Salah who scored Liverpool's second goal, has only confirmed the worst fears of Arsenal's supporters.

Unai Emery chose to extract the positive points in his post-match analysis, but it is clear that the gunners remain significantly shorter than the caliber of Liverpool.

David Luiz had an afternoon to forget when Arsenal crashed into a 3-1 defeat in Liverpool last week

The most accurate measure of where they return to the Champions League next season will encounter their bitterest rivals.

Luiz has often played against Tottenham for Chelsea, but any kind of foul will put pressure on his place in the team.

For the likes of Pepe and Dani Ceballos, the blood and thunder of a North London derby may be different from anything they have ever experienced.

Ultimately, Tottenham only finished one point above Arsenal in the Premier League last season

Another season spent in Spurs' rear-view mirrors is simply not acceptable, but the mood in the Emirates after their summer is that their trajectory points up again

Making a statement with a victory in Sunday's derby would confirm that.

TOTTENHAM: Question Marks Stay While Pochettino's Men Try to Maintain Progress

While Mauricio Pochettino tries to help Tottenham move forward after several seasons of clear progress, there are more questions than answers in the opening of the season

Worrying for the Argentinian is that they have fallen behind in all three of their Premier League opening games.

The good news is that in the opening game against Aston Villa they fought back to win and in the second game they took a point from Manchester City, something that should never be sniffed at.

Son Heung-min couldn't prevent Spurs from going home to defeat Newcastle

But their resilience left them the surprise defeat of last weekend at home in Newcastle when they did not seem to be asking for an answer when they were asked to break down resolute and deep opponents.

Spurs is now at the top of the table long enough to understand that most teams take a defensive stance against them and usually have the means to break them down.

But the spark was lacking in Newcastle and Pochettino's task of ensure that the wt is a bump on the road instead of something alarming.

Despite the inherent tension, playing Arsenal must fit Spurs because there is more room to exploit in the counterattack.

The concern for the neutral player is that defeat in Sunday's game will lead to two weeks of solemn contemplation during the international break and therefore the teams can be reluctant to go full throttle and leave themselves open.

Meetings between Arsenal and Tottenham are usually spicy occasions with tackles flying in

Predicted line ups

Arsenal XI predicted: Leno; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, David Luiz, Monreal; Xhaka, Ceballos, Guendouzi; Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Tottenham predicted XI: Lloris; Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Sissoko, Winks, Ndombele, Eriksen; Kane, Son

What do the bookmakers say?

Arsenal costs around 13/10 to get one over their North London rivals, while you get 2/1 on Spurs to get away from the Emirates with victory. The draw is 5/2, while an interesting draw is a 2-2 draw on 9/1.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the strong favorite as the first goal scorer on 7/2, with Harry Kane 4 from Tottenham / 1.

Who says what?

[1945902] Arsenal manager Unai Emery: & # 39; For us to play games like last week against Liverpool, this week against Tottenham, the two Champions League finalists are great, and it's the best test, "he said.

" Every time is a good time to play against them and on Sundays with our supporters it is the best time to play and enjoy with our supporters.

& # 39; On Sunday, that game is the best football game in the world for all football supporters. & # 39;

Mauricio Pochettino rejected the theory that he is ready to stop Tottenham. He said: & # 39; I am not going to run away after the Derby in North London. I'll be here Monday and Tuesday. Then my plan is to travel, but I'm not telling you where. & # 39;

MAIN FACTS

Arsenal has won only two of their last 10 Premier League games against rivals Spurs (W2 D5 L3), with both victories in the Emirates in the previous two seasons.

Spurs won one of their last 26 Premier League visits to Arsenal (W1 D10 L15), from 0-2 down to win 3-2 in November 2010.

Spurs won last season 2-0 in the Emirates in the League Cup, 17 days after losing in the league against Arsenal; in all competitions, Spurs won consecutive away games in Arsenal only once, won in 1925 and 1926.

Column: Already a winner

New Post has been published on https://grandpx.news/column-already-a-winner/

Column: Already a winner

2019 sees one of the most exciting shake-ups of the driver market in recent years, but one name that will be returning to the F1 fold stands out above them all. Having completed only a handful of laps in the first pre-season test at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya, the jury is very much still out on Robert Kubica’s anxiously awaited return to full-time F1 racing. However, before we learn how much Williams has been able to improve on last season’s offering, or how much of the scintillating performance- from his first career- Robert Kubica can rekindle. Let’s consider the scale of his gargantuan comeback and celebrate the rarity of such an achievement.

Cast your mind back- if you can- to the 2010 F1 season. In the U.K, Gordon Brown was succeeded by David Cameron at No.10, in the U.S, Obama was 2 years into his first term as president of the United States of America and in F1- Sebastian Vettel won the first of his four World Championships to date, snatching the title away from Fernando Alonso at the final race in Abu Dhabi. Aside from the beginning of an incredible winning streak for Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull and the return of Michael Schumacher into the F1 Paddock in 2010- we also witnessed a simply astonishing season of driving from one Robert Kubica, qualifying and racing his Renault into positions it had absolutely no right to be in. At Monaco, a track where overcoming car deficiencies with driver skill is still very much possible, he managed to qualify his Renault 2nd on the grid, a mere 3 tenths of a second behind pole-sitter and Monaco specialist, Mark Webber, and a full second and a half ahead of team-mate Vitaly Petrov (who qualified 14th). There are numerous Kubica 2010 achievements to consider, but in terms of pure speed, talent and ability; none do him a better service than qualifying 2nd and converting that to a finishing position of 3rd in the race with a car that in other hands failed to reach the top 10 in qualifying. Often praised by the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso as one of the very best, his efforts in F1 had not gone unnoticed by the top tier teams- it has since been revealed that he had even signed a pre-agreement to drive for Ferrari in 2012. Back in early 2011, it looked as if Robert Kubica along with Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel was going to dominate F1 for the foreseeable future. However, these hopes and expectations were suddenly and violently put on hold when in February 2011, Robert- competing of his own volition in an Italian Rally- suffered life-changing injuries as his car collided with an Armco-barrier that pierced into the cabin, impaling Robert in the process. His consequent injuries were horrendous- nearly losing his right hand alongside compound fractures to his elbow and leg. The same rugged determination that served Kubica so well in racing undoubtedly contributed to his remarkably speedy return to racing. Despite breaking the same leg again slipping on ice near his home in early 2012- as if to prove a point- Robert got into a rally car again on the 9th of September that same year! His competitive spirit and skills behind the wheel seemed undiminished as he went on to win the event by well over a minute, nonetheless, the confines of a single-seater did not give his right arm and hand enough space to operate. Undeterred, he went on to make successful appearances in other forms of motorsport, such as winning the 2013 title in the World Rally Championship’s WRC2 class and the ’14 European Rally Championship season-opener, Tests in GP3, Formula E and LMP2 machinery followed before a return to F1 machinery in a test for his old Renault team at Valencia in June of 2017. Lewis Hamilton summed up his thoughts on the Pole’s talents before a test later that year at Hungary’s tight and twisty Hungouring, “Robert’s one of the quickest drivers I’ve ever raced against, If he was still racing he’d be up in contention for the world title if not have won one. Just raw natural talent which in the sport is a shame we don’t have here with us. Not a lot of great, great drivers come through. It filters and then filters down, you have some that are much better than the rest but then still not the greatest. Then you have real special drivers like him.”

Why does this matter now? That 2017 test came at a relatively mature point in Robert’s comeback to F1. Rather tellingly, after an intense assessment from Renault, he was not offered a seat with Renault for 2018. It’s hard not to imagine that Renault would have snapped him up if he had fully recaptured the abilities that secured him 2nd place in qualifying at the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix. Late in 2017, Kubica had already begun testing for Williams, but after an inconclusive end of season in Abu-Dhabi, where his qualifying runs were not on a par with the heavily inexperienced Sergey Sirotkin, Robert had to make do with operating as reserve driver for Williams during the 2018 season before being confirmed as part of the 2019 Williams driver line-up. The pertinent and obvious question is, how much of the 2010 vintage Robert Kubica are we likely to see this year? Will he continue to improve with more time? Or will we need to be satisfied with the fact that it’s an absolute miracle, comparable with Alex Zanardi’s come back to full-time racing after losing both legs racing in a CART (formerly a rival series to Indycar) event, that Robert has made it this far?

Reflecting on his return to F1 late last year Robert intimated that “From the human point of view, I understand and see the point that it is a story that probably nobody has believed. Probably the only one who never gave up was myself and the people around me. We all knew that it might be something not achievable. This shows that somehow nothing is impossible. From the driving point of view, you just have to wait a few months and you will see. If I would not be able to drive competitively enough, I would not be here. It is a normal way of thinking that people see my limitations and ask how it is possible I can do it, and I know it is hard to believe. But Williams has seen it this year and I have seen it in the last 16 or 18 months since I first drove an F1 car in Valencia last year that I can do it, thanks to work, but also that my limitations are not limiting me as most people are thinking. Deputy team principal Claire Williams further endorsed the Pole’s incredible comeback: “It is a great credit to his strength of character and tenacity to return to Formula 1. He has a level of determination that is remarkable to see.” There can be no doubting the magnitude of Robert’s return to F1, his levels of determination to drive- to all intents and purposes- with one hand is obviously remarkable. But what would be fascinating to learn, is whether Renault would pass again on the opportunity to sign their former “Monaco Magician” if they assessed him now in 2019, with Robert having had more time to recover and gain knowledge of current F1 machinery. Remember, a lot has changed since he last competed in 2010- much wider cars with possibly the highest levels of downforce ever seen, totally different power units with various elements of hybrid technology and perhaps most importantly- entirely different tyres (the rock solid “Bridgestone” Tyres of 2010 required an entirely different style of driving to the still comparably fragile Pirelli tyres of today, Robert was a master of braking late whilst steering into the corner- certainly not a good idea in current F1). In an interview with F1’s in house podcast “Beyond the Grid” with Tom Clarkson, Kubica remarked that the muscle memory of driving the narrower-bodied cars from his first stint in F1 served him very well in his 2017 Valencia test for Renault in their 2012 car but that the wider dimensions of the 2017 and onward cars put him into the position of almost being a rookie. Evidently, there has been a re-learning process for Kubica, both in terms of coming to terms with an altered body and also vastly different F1 machinery.

What can we expect from Robert in 2019? Undoubtedly, he will not be picking up where he left off in 2010, just the time away from F1 without his injuries would make that impossible (one only has to think of how long it took Michael Schumacher to get up to speed following his 4-year hiatus from the sport), but as he remarks above- he wouldn’t be on the grid if he wasn’t up to the required standard. Instead of lamenting the untimely curtailing of his first career in F1, let’s celebrate an unlikely comeback that ranks alongside any in the world of sport. Welcome back Robert, we’ve missed you.

Spanish Language Day: Celebrating Spain

Deadline for entry: October 30, 2017

Did you know that half of the world’s approximately 6,500 languages will disappear by the end of the century? At the current rate, one language is disappearing every two weeks.

In February of 2010, the United Nations launched a new initiative to promote multilingualism. They declared October 12 Spanish Language Day. The decision was made in order to “increase awareness and respect for the history, culture and achievements of each of the six working languages among the UN community” during the same year that UNESCO was celebrating the International Year of Rapprochement of Cultures.

The Director-General, Irina Bokova, made an important statement in regards to the celebration: “Languages are the best vehicles of mutual understanding and tolerance. Respect for all languages is a key factor for ensuring peaceful coexistence, without exclusion, of societies and all of their members.”

Spanish is the official language of 21 countries. And to get a little inspiration from the place where it all began (well, sort of), we’re featuring 11 Hispanic design firms creating work you’re sure to love.

¡Feliz día de la lengua española!

Toormix; Barcelona, Spain

“We believe that design transcends beyond the mere aesthetic value. We understand it as a transversal tool that helps – from the beginning – boosting businesses, brands and projects to a new level. We believe in the power of design…”

Website | Twitter | Instagram

Toormix created the brand strategy, business design, digital experience, identity & communication, and environmental designs for Bicnic, “local slowfood on wheels.” This self-initiated project was completed in partnership with Betlem, a renowned restaurant run by chef Victor Ferrer.

Tata&Friends; Madrid, Spain

“Tata&Friends is a Design Muscle for positive brands. A collaborative design studio driven by curiosity, observation, thinking, testing, failing… improving.”

Website | Twitter | Instagram

“Latino is a bar and restaurant in Freistadt, Austria. We developed a new identity and their own newspaper Mambo Libre, it’s on fire!”

Ink Bad Company; Valencia, Spain

“Ink Bad Company is the design studio and alter ego of JC Guerrero, illustrator based in Valencia. Devoted to the study of the mass culture through the dotted halftone; his work maintains a completely unnecessary link with the paper and some immature details to refine. To date, however, the guy have managed to work with many respectable clients across the world, in fields such as the advertising, packaging, editorial or lettering.”

Website | Twitter | Instagram

“Ray-Ban needed a new poster for their optical glasses line to be put in stores worldwide. The concept invokes that feeling when you put on the best pair of glasses you’ve worn. Everything is illuminated and you can see the world as amazing as it’s meant to be seen.”

Veintidós Grados; Madrid, Spain

“Our goal is to always be proud of what we do. Veintidós Grados was created with the illusion of making things in a different way. Our purpose is to focus all of our efforts in learning, creating and developing innovative projects based on non-conventional designs far from those made by the majority of the industry in Spain.”

Website | Twitter

vimeo

“Love for Iceland is a project made by and for lovers of this country, for those who have visited and for those who do not. This site pretends to be a tribute, a place to show some of the places of this magical island and a guide to learn more about it.”

Fyero; Santander, Spain

“We are a creative studio specialized in motion graphics and branding. We also develop illustration, infographic and packaging projects, as well as different kinds of audiovisual works (corporate video, promotions, advertising…) We have 8 years of relevant experience in various agencies and studios. We hope to collaborate with you!”

Serial Cut; Madrid, Spain

“We are not designers, nor typographers, neither artists. We are just “image-makers”. We have been creating images since 1999. Both direct clients and ad agencies all over the world count on our team of talented professionals in order to enhance their brands with ad campaigns which are art directed and often produced by our team.”

Website | Instagram

vimeo

“Through the years, the Air Max has always been at the center of creativity and culture. The new Nike Air Vapormax was released in the Air Max Day (March 26th 2017) and we created this 6sec motion piece and key visuals, along other worldwide artists, showcasing the newest innovation in air technology. KISS MY AIRS!”

Estudio Maba; Murcia, Spain

“At Estudio Maba we work to find communicative solutions for companies’ day to day requirements. As designers, we cover everything from a brand or product’s concept, identity and naming right through to its graphics and packaging, adopting a strategic, differentiation-oriented approach to create an effective, compelling, high profile image in the eyes of the customer.”

Website | Twitter | Instagram

“The inspiration is a mixture of oriental theater puppets and “old school” tattoos of sailors. Full of symbolism. The treatment finishes with strokes in a third dimension that gives it color and also touch. The thermo ink indicates the optimum point for its consumption in a small illustration in form of a coiled worm. The result is a label that retains its personality but extolled and justified. We already know what the half-smile of La Marimorena was about.”

Redbility; Madrid, Spain

More than 150 clients have already trusted Redbility. With over 1,000 completed projects under their belt, they’ve remained true to their beliefs since day one. “We like to say that we are different, our DNA makes us different, we are nonconformists and we live with passion each project. We always bring the best of ourselves and combine agile strategy, user experience and design without losing sight of business objectives. If you were looking for something different you’ve found it, R-evolution begins.”

Website | Twitter | Instagram

“Never kill another plant again! You won’t forget to water it thanks to the notifications adapted to the plant you own. It will use your geolocation to know the temperature in your area and give you the best advice for its survival. Your friend’s health comes first!” [edited for translation]

Collectivo Verbena; Granada, Spain

“Collective Verbena is graphic design, photography, video, editorial, packaging, web, ideas. Working hard to make brands grow happy.”

Website | Instagram

“Pozoblanco is a municipality in the province of Cordoba with a long-lived library and much loved by its inhabitants. Both the space, as well as the developed identity, seeks to gather the past to build a future.

“The logo had to be a flexible structure, open to change. This idea materialized in a space, the square, in which the protagonists, in this case acronyms, interact, creating, each time, a different result.”

Rifle; Madrid, Spain

“No restrictions, no geographic confines, from local projects to worldwide clients, [Rifle is] open to all possibilities and adopting a model suitable to a new kind of studio: choosing the best team according to the requirements of each challenge, with partners engaged on a project-by-project basis.”

How F1 has altered considering the fact that Robert Kubica's incident

New Post has been published on https://othersportsnews.com/how-f1-has-altered-considering-the-fact-that-robert-kubicas-incident/

How F1 has altered considering the fact that Robert Kubica's incident

Components A single has altered a whole lot in the six-and-a-50 % several years considering the fact that Robert Kubica crashed out of the Rally di Andora in February 2011. Spells of dominance have appear and long gone, circuits have vanished from the calendar and new types have emerged. The cars and trucks have also altered substantially.

ESPN charts the critical changes and statistics of the 2,372 times among Kubica’s remaining 2011 pre-season visual appeal in Valencia (the place he finished swiftest) and return to the vehicle on August 2, 2017.

Cars

(Photo by Robert SzaniszlÃ³/NurPhoto by using Getty Visuals)

Fat: Cars have enhanced in bulk by 88 kg in the time Kubica has been sidelined. The minimum amount pounds of a vehicle in 2011 was 640kg, but that has considering the fact that climbed to 728kg — with an added 26kg included this yr on your own. This year’s more substantial, bulkier cars and trucks also have included downforce as opposed to the former iteration of F1 vehicle, nevertheless Kubica would have knowledgeable similar levels in 2008.

Tyres: A single issue we by no means bought to see was Kubica running Pirelli’s quickly-degrading tyres all through a race. The sport turned to Pirelli as sole producer in 2011 as it appeared for a way to inject additional enjoyment into races by making certain motorists needed to make additional pit stops all through a race.

DRS: Robert Kubica examined the Drag Reduction Program in his remaining formal F1 examination session when it experienced to start with been launched, but he has by no means raced with it on his vehicle. Right after the 2009 regulations failed to supply the increase in overtaking prospects F1 experienced hoped for, rule makers appeared for a way to guarantee motorists at the very least experienced an possibility to overtake one more. DRS was and, to some, stays controversial, but it has stayed in put considering the fact that 2011 — the only change being a driver could use it everywhere on a qualifying lap back again then and now it is limited to DRS zones.

V6 turbos: The most sizeable alter within F1 cars and trucks took put in 2014. Kubica drove all through the V8 period, engines which remained until eventually the finish of 2013. The subsequent yr F1 created a controversial swap to additional economical but additional high-priced and quieter V6 turbos which will continue being until eventually at the very least 2020. This also indicates Kubica by no means raced an F1 vehicle with 8 gears, something which arrived with the 2014 alter.

Halo/cockpit protection: A single of the additional modern changes, F1 to start with unveiled cockpit protection when the Halo was trialled by Ferrari at the start off of 2016. Every driver on that year’s grid trialled the gadget, although some have also examined the turned down Aeroscreen and Defend units. Halo will be on the cars and trucks in 2018 — which means any return for Kubica could coincide with a single of the most sizeable and controversial regulation changes in Components One’s historical past.

Wins

Mark Thompson/Getty Visuals

Two males have dominated the period considering the fact that Kubica’s incident. Blended, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have received all but a single of the championships considering the fact that and — as of this year’s Hungarian Grand Prix — have 89 of the 121 wins in that time. It can be not tough to see how, with both of those males experiencing periods of dominance both facet of the introduction of V6 turbo engines. Nico Rosberg, the only other guy to have shared Hamilton’s profitable several years at Mercedes, is the last in double figures but has almost 50 % the wins of his previous teammate.

Remarkably, only 13 of those 121 wins have been scored by Ferrari. Mercedes has a staggering 23 additional wins than the closest competitor in this spell, inspite of Vettel’s dominant several years of 2011 and 2013. McLaren’s statistics are maybe the most damning, with all 14 of their wins coming prior to they switched from Mercedes to Honda ability in 2015.

There have been just five new grand prix winners in the time considering the fact that Kubica’s departure: Nico Rosberg and Pastor Maldado (2012), Daniel Ricciardo (2014), Max Verstappen (2016) and Valtteri Bottas (2017).

Total wins considering the fact that Australia 2011:

By driver:

Lewis Hamilton – forty three Sebastian Vettel – 36 Nico Rosberg – 23 Jenson Button – 6 Fernando Alonso – 6 Daniel Ricciardo – five Mark Webber – three Kimi Raikkonen – 2 Valtteri Bottas – 2 Pastor Maldonado – 1 Max Verstappen – 1

By workforce:

Mercedes – sixty one Crimson Bull – 38 McLaren – 14 Ferrari – 13 Lotus – 2 Williams – 1

Pole positions

Mark Sutton/Sutton Visuals

The pole positions in this time period comply with a similar pattern to victories. Mercedes and Hamilton — who is closing in on Michael Schumacher’s all-time file of sixty eight — direct the way. Due to the fact the start off of 2011, there have been just four new polesitters — Nico Rosberg (China 2012), Pastor Maldonado (Spain 2012), Daniel Ricciardo (Monaco 2016) and Valtteri Bottas (Bahrain 2017). All of those motorists also registered their to start with earn in this spell.

Total poles considering the fact that Australia 2011:

By driver:

Hamilton – 49 Vettel – 33 Rosberg – thirty Webber – 7 Alonso – 2 Maldonado – 2 Button – 1 Massa – 1 Ricciardo – 1 Raikkonen – 1

Debutants

Clive Mason/Getty Visuals

Twenty-9 motorists have created their Components A single debut considering the fact that Kubica’s incident.

2011: Jerome d’Ambrosio, Paul di Resta, Pastor Maldonado, Sergio Perez, Daniel Ricciardo 2012: Charles Pic, Jean-Eric Vergne 2013: Giedo van der Garde, Jules Bianchi, Max Chilston, Esteban Gutierrz, Valttei Bottas 2014: Marcus Ericsson, Daniil Kvyat, Kevin Magnussen, Andre Lotterer 2015: Roberto Merhi, Alexander Rossi, Felipe Nasr, Carlos Sainz, Max Verstappen 2016: Rio Haryanto, Esteban Ocon, Jolyon Palmer, Stoffel Vandoorne, Pascal Wehrlein 2017: Antonio Giovinazzi, Lance Stroll

Of the higher than, just four (Maldonado, Ricciardo, Verstappen and Bottas) have received an F1 race, although Rossi received the 2016 Indy 500 as a rookie.

Groups

ANDREJ ISAKOVIC/AFP/Getty Visuals

F1 has shed three groups from the grid considering the fact that Kubica’s last examination — HRT, Caterham and Manor-Marussia — but attained just a single, in the kind of 2016 debutants Haas F1.

Even though Kubica is returning with the exact Enstone-based Renault workforce he was at in 2011, the title and command of the workforce has altered substantially in the time he’s been away. When the Polish driver joined it was the Renault manufacturing unit workforce, but the French producer resolved to scale back again its involvement in late 2010 and bought a bulk stake of the workforce to Genii Capital. It meant Renault was no for a longer period a ‘factory’ outfit inspite of the title, but it remained as an motor supplier. In 2011, the grid experienced Lotus-Renault and Crew Lotus (which turned Caterham in 2012) due to a legal dispute above the title.

Lotus-Renault turned Lotus in 2012, a title it retained until eventually finish of 2015, when Renault reversed its conclusion from the start off of the ten years and returned to the sport as a totally-fledged producer. The workforce Kubica tests with is thus the exact as he drove for in 2011, but it has experienced three title changes in that time and two various proprietors.

Grands Prix

Charles Coates/Getty Visuals

The strategy the F1 calendar has grown wildly out of command in the last couple of several years is something of a fallacy. In 2011, it was meant to be a twenty-race season, but political unrest in Bahrain saw that year’s race cancelled, nevertheless it returned the subsequent season. With the exception of F1’s file-breaking 21-race 2016 season, just about every yr Kubica has missed has highlighted both 19 or twenty races.

But the races on that calendar have altered slightly. In that time, Austin’s Circuit of the America’s, India’s Buddh Intercontinental Circuit, Russia’s Sochi Autodrom and Azerbaijan’s Baku Metropolis Circuit have joined the calendar. New Dehli has truly appear and long gone in that time, signing up for the calendar in 2011 and dropping off just after the 3rd race of its contract in 2013.

India is not the only casualty of the last couple of several years. Turkey dropped off the calendar just after the 2011 race, with European Grand Prix host Valencia acquiring its swansong the subsequent yr. The Korean Grand Prix dropped off the calendar in 2013. Germany is set to return in 2018 but it is safe to say the Nurburging will not be returning any time shortly, with economical challenges cancelling the German Grand Prix in 2015 at a time when Nurburgring alternated with Hockenheim.

After eight years and 20 operations, Robert Kubica is back in F1

Robert Kubica can hardly use the right arm he rocked in his left hand. But fourteen days today in Melbourne I will start the Australian Grand Prix and complete one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of the sport.

It has been eight years since the Pool was deprived of the best seasons of his career because of the accident that could cost him his life. On February 6, 2011, during the first stage of the Ronde di Andora rally, his Skoda Fabia left the road at high speed at the San Sebastiano church in Testico, North Italy .

The crash

This article is a start, you can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

Kubica, who participated in the rally for fun, was rated by Lewis Hamilton as the best of his contemporaries – Kubica, now 34, is the oldest of a month. By the time the accident occurred, Hamilton had won only one of his five world titles, Sebastian Vettel one of his four.

How much can Kubica have now reached,

Lying on his hospital bed in 2011, he could not bend his fingers at a distance, but we found him waiting in Barcelona for his turn. test the Williams car, he raced for 70 percent left turning

I always shaved my right hand. Not now. I wrote with his right hand. No longer.

& # 39; To live and drive would be easier if I had not had the accident.

& # 39; I never thought I would be back in Formula 1 or I certainly would not. I never closed the door or kept it open consciously. Realistically, the chance percentage was small. It was almost impossible. & # 39;

Once again, I tried a DTM touring car in Valencia, the track on which I had driven the last time in Formula 1 to test a few days before the accident.

& # 39; It was too difficult to drive on a Formula 1 track. I was not ready for that. It opened the pain. Actually I was upset because I was quick, because in some ways it would have been easier for me if I was a second faster and could say, "That's it, I had my career". I could have helped young drivers or found something in motorsport that would satisfy me.

& # 39; I could not look at Formula 1 for a long time, but I was busy with rallying sessions. In 2017 Kubica was psychologically ready for a return to the Grand Prix.

In 2017 Kubica was psychologically ready for a return to the Grand Prix environment and tested for Renault and then Williams, where he spent last season as a driver. They were impressed by the fact that they would promote him to a racing seat alongside British rookie George Russell.

He exerts more pressure with his shoulder to compensate for his weak arm. Racers are not made like the rest of us and that is why Kubica is back despite that accident. He is also brave, inspiring, but will part of him be nervous, afraid even to race again?

& # 39; No & # 39 ;, he says. & # 39; But there will be things that you can not anticipate. Will I be better? I do not know. Possible.

& # 39; On the other hand, I have not raced for a long time. I am like a new young driver. That does not worry me. Eight years away is not ideal, but to be better back. I have the knowledge from the past. I've done it before and that's why I'm pretty sure. & # 39;
