I'd say based from the teams you've listed: Sauber.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

I thought about it earlier, if not wider they look tin pot enough that you can make more space with a hammer if needed. :wink:

Indycar would be really dicing with death though, they don't mess around there, racing on parking lots, sh..ty fences, ovals - overall hardcore stuff. This helmet bit - I don't know about that.

Robert was quick to "Thanks to Bell Racing Europe for a gift" on his FB:
https://www.facebook.com/KubicaOfficial ... ion=stream
So it definitely isn't a fake story.
Another interesting fact, Hulkenberg pushing interested parties to close the negotiations before the end of the month - http://f1.autoklub.pl/news/ultimatum-hulkenberga,51554
Kubica's last planned rally takes place 24 - 27 Oct, so if any contract talk for Kubica exist, it would obviously be conluded after that. I know its far fetched, but if there IS anything going on for Kubica in F1, that would be logical.
EDIT: And btw, pictured helmet is a HP7 model, currently used by 6 F1 drivers.

Both RedBull drivers and Bottas use Arai, Hulkenburg uses a Schuberth.

Only Lotus as far as i know run Bell for aerodynamic reasons.

Information on the quoted post was based on what I remembered not only on current situation, hence "IIRC". I might be wrong, but I don't have a source to back it all up :oops:
And at official page http://www.bellhelmets.eu/page_contenu/helmets/hp7.php is a list of who is using this model this year:
Grosjean, Gutierrez, Maldonado, Raikkonen, Ricciardo and Vergne.

“Was there really the intention to take on Kubica and will he be back in F1?” Domenicali. “Yes, we were keeping an eye on him. Unfortunately, I don’t think he will be back, because with his physical problem, he would struggle in certain limited situations which require reactivity. It’s a shame.”

Nothing has changed, it's probably true but not because Domenicali says so. Why is he talking about it anyway? They were monitoring him while hiring Massa, NH and KR? Any subject is good to not to talk about how s... Ferrari is.

Did you read the article or are you just using your last post to take a moment to talk --- about Ferrari?
From Article that you didnt read wrote: Finally a question from left field: “Was there really the intention to take on Kubica and will he be back in F1?” Domenicali. “Yes, we were keeping an eye on him. Unfortunately, I don’t think he will be back, because with his physical problem, he would struggle in certain limited situations which require reactivity. It’s a shame.”
