Robert Kubica’s manager Daniel Morelli has said the former Lotus Renault GP driver might return to Formula 1 until the final race of the 2011 Formula 1 season which is expected to take place in Brazil by the end of November.
“Recovery is progressing positively. The right leg is fine: if that was the problem, then Robert would practically be ready. No, that's not our worry. The Italian GP is held in September, so it's in just three months' time, but we can think about the final race of the season,” Morelli told the media.
Kubica went through a near fatal accident back in February 2011 during a weekend rally event. Due to that, he nearly lost his right hand. However, his doctors did a decent job and now the nervous system of his right hand is recovering quite stably.
The Polish driver is currently going through the rehabilitation process in Genoa in order to restore his right hand’s full functionality and probably get back to Formula 1 once again as soon as possible. Other than that, his leg was fractured in the accident as well which has recovered fully now.
According to Daniel Morelli, Kubica’s leg is not an issue anymore but since his right hand is still not functioning completely, the rehabilitation process is still in progress and as soon as his hand recovers fully, he would come back to Formula 1.
“In any case, when Robert gets in the simulator, he'll immediately understand whether he's able to come back, how and when, without the need of a stop-watch,” he said.
Kubica was looking pretty good this year during the first couple of pre-season test sessions and it was believed that he might be one of the top running drivers of the sport in 2011. He scored a couple of podiums in 2010 as well despite the fact that his car was not as competitive as the top running teams’ cars.
It would be interesting to see how Robert performs after his return as the fans are expecting a lot from him next year.
