That's just what you get with Kubica.
And it's a great thing.
It's what that team needed as well.
And it's worth noting as well that
The kind of Alonso return to that team had kind of trailed off a bit.
I remember speaking to one relatively senior engineer at that team.
He said they got a bit frustrated with Alonso at the back end of the year.
So, actually, there's an extra effect because they had a slightly diminished Alonso who was a bit frustrated.
In 2009.
In 2009, yeah.
And then they got Kubica in and...
They thought, well, let's see how good this guy is.
And they realised not only is he mega, but also he is that sort of driving force.
So they actually quite wanted that as well, even though there will have been times, knowing Kubica well, where they will have grumbled a bit.
He's a pain, but he's probably right.
That's just the kind of character he is.
