return ’nearly impossible’ - source
"Why has the talking stopped?"
21 May 2012 - 09h50, by GMM
One of F1’s most experienced journalists has expressed grave concerns about the chances Robert Kubica will ever return to the sport.
The highly-rated Pole has been missing from the paddock since early 2011, having been seriously injured in a pre-season rallying crash.
Until recently, there were sporadic reports about the former BMW and Renault driver’s recovery, and signs his initially horrifically-damaged arm was returning to health.
But the veteran correspondent for Switzerland’s Blick newspaper, Roger Benoit, has now reported that information about Kubica has stopped flowing.
"Why has the talking stopped? Because - unfortunately - a comeback is nearly impossible," he wrote.

I'm using Firefox, and EDIT 6:30am: You don't have to download or join anything. Just close those popup's. It's a learning curve....
Am I the only one who didn't know..... Found this way to watch F1 streaming on Sky Sports or maybe replay's after they have been run that day. Just learning the way it works. I closed the large popup window and then closed the small advertisement windows.... We have to watch the commercials but .... Not Bad!
Try other links till you can view...( link 1 link 2 ect) DON'T pause or you need to reload the page....
FirstRow Watch Live F1 Race Online | Moto GP online Stream | Formula 1 live streaming and Moto GP Free Stream
AND NOW I see that my TV listing lied to me and it IS on Speed now
Better on Sky I must say.... End of practice 2. So About another 20mins of interviews then commercials now owners post (like the drivers) conference/interview! Very cool! Edit: Still going @ 40mins!
Here's the race weekend Sky Sports line up. WARNING: I don't know what time zone these are in; probably British.

Thanks to all for the welcome to the thread, perhaps a tad premature.
Have followed the thread, mainly because of the stunning pics and vids that are posted.
Used to be a big F1 fan but got turned off by the antics of the FIA. I think the last straw was when Ferrari engines were running at 21,000 rpm and the FIA imposed rev limiters because none of the other teams could match Ferrari.
I do have to say that this thread has generated a little interest again, not sure if it will last.
Anyway enjoy Monaco. If OldStyle`s link doesn`t work I will not be able to see it live.

Sorry you are having problems. I will try to explain; though I'm not to good at that.
First I am new to viewing at Sky Sports. It does say it is best to use Firefox, Google Chrome, & Safari. ( I only have Firefox) I see you use Firefox.
I do use a popup blocker normally. AdBlock works but there are a lot of small popups there. So for everyone here goes....
The only time you can view a channel is during the day it is broadcast. If it is available then it will play automatically. You can't pause or fast forward as far as I know. For me closing a bunch of popups is a small price to pay for this service; as long as it isn't continuous. I closed 6 or 7 then it stopped.
When you first click one of the programs to view there is one large window that opens. Close that.
Then there are a bunch of small ones covering the viewing window. Close all that are there. Either using the red x or "close" button.... Don't click on any play now or download buttons.
When you get to the main viewing screen either click the enlarge icon or r-click and select full screen.
I think the popups only happen on the main viewing page. The full screen is a new page entirely and I have only seen a couple there.
I left the full screen open for 4 hours the other day without issues. The main viewing screen is behind these popups in the image bellow. I hope this helps.
