Robert Kubica's manager, Daniele Morelli, has contradicted the owner of the Renault F1 team by insisting that his driver could race again this season.
Speaking at the Monaco Grand Prix, Daniele Morelli said the Pole was making good progress in his recovery from a rally accident and that they would have a clearer picture in August about his comeback.
However, he also said that Gerard Lopez, whose Genii Capital owns the Lotus-backed team, was wrong in writing off Kubica's chances for the 2011 season.
Speaking to Spanish radio last week. Lopez said he thought that Kubica would not be making a comeback this year, although he could get a run during a Friday practice session.
"I think you have to ask Lopez why he made such a statement that is in clear opposition to what the specialists are saying," Morelli said.
"All the doctors, not only ours... are not writing off Robert for this season. I think that Lopez's statement is incorrect.
"Robert when he will be back, he will be back for racing and there will be no need to make a control of his capability in a Friday session.
"If Robert is sufficiently fit to drive a Formula One car for one lap he can do it for a whole weekend."
