fernando alonso/robert kubica
"I didn’t speak to any other driver during the winter. In our free time, we drivers are friendly, without being friends exactly – except perhaps for the poker gang led by Robert Kubica and Giancarlo Fisichella, which can involve Tonio Liuzzi, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg, Adrian Sutil and Rubens." (Jenson Button, "A Championship Year")
"Robert, for me, is one of the best friends I have in the paddock, obviously in Formula One. The relationships between drivers are not very normal, but, for me, Robert is maybe the only one, in terms of character, in terms of way of understand Formula One, we are very similar, we know what we want to do in Formula One, we are not here to make friends, we are just here to win.”
“I know him many years, I remember when I was racing in go karts, he was racing in the smaller categories, and then he was winning all the races, all the time. There was a always lot of respect for Robert in go karts.”
"The spirit of Robert is unbelievable, he is a very strong person and I think a normal person would need one year to recover or 8 months. For Robert it'll be half because he is Superman in this cases, so hopefully he will recover well, soon, and we all miss you and hopefully you'll come back soon." (Fernando Alonso, on Robert's accident in 2011)
