Polish-born Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica, who emerged unhurt from a spectacular crash, may be called by the Vatican to testify to an alleged miracle performed by the late Pope John Paul II, reported the PAP news agency.
The 22-year-old driver normally races in a helmet emblazoned with the late pope's name, and was also doing so when his car, moving at 230 kilometers per hour, spun out of control and crashed at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal June 10. Few onlookers thought he had survived. To view the crash on YouTube click here
The car was completely wrecked, but Kubica suffered only a slight concussion and a sprained ankle.
Race car experts say special cockpit technology, called the Hans system, enabled the BMW-Sauber driver to survive the crash.
According to PAP, the story of Kubica's "miraculous survival" is likely to be featured in an upcoming issue of the Vatican's "Totus Tuus" magazine, a monthly devoted to the beatification of the late Polish pontiff.

Robert Kubica survived the crash because of the tireless efforts of the FIA and F1 teams to improve safety standards at F1 races. Watch the video of the crash in detail and you can see the safety impacts structures doing the work they were designed to.
It's disgusting that the Vatican is trying to claim credit for their hard work.
The implication of what you're saying is that past drivers who've been killed in crashes died because God or the Pope wanted them to die - which is an utterly despicable point of view.
