Gronholm's verdict on Kubica

Two-time WRC champion and five-time Rally Sweden winner MARCUS GRONHOLM gives AUTOSPORT his expert opinion on Robert Kubica's rallying potential after riding with the Pole in testing

Marcus Gronholm took a breath and considered the question.

"Maybe..."

Silence.

"OK. Hmm. Maybe."

More silence. Serious thought.

"You know, when you have to think about what he has to do with his hand..."

Final pause.

"Yes."

"Yes."

You can almost hear the two-time world champion smiling down the phone.

"He is the most talented driver I have ever sat with. Yes."

Who's he talking about?

Do you really need to ask? It's the man of the moment, Robert Kubica. Gronholm spent Friday afternoon in Sweden's far, far north, near a town called Kall. And he spent it on the wrong side of the right car.

He spent it alongside a man who once won the Canadian Grand Prix. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, even at its wettest, is no match for the gripless wilderness the Pole led the Finn into.
