Manager ‘very optimistic’ about Kubica's return

29 September 2011

Both the manager of Robert Kubica and Renault team doctor have stressed their optimism over Robert Kubica returning to Formula 1 for the 2012 season. At present, following his near-fatal rallying accident of 6 February, the Pole remains in the Enstone team’s driver line-up alongside Vitaly Petrov.

“We are not able to predict a precise date,” Daniele Morelli, manager for Kubica, explained to Italy’s OmniCorse. “Nature must take its course, but we are optimistic - very optimistic.”

The confidence is shared by the aforementioned Renault team doctor.

“I would say that Robert will certainly be an F1 driver for the 2012 season,” Ceccarelli comments. “I cannot say when he will make his return (for testing), but its still going to be some point between the months of November and January.”

Ceccarelli adds that the 26-year-old from Kraków – who was recently pictured with family members, appearing notably fitter – has now regained full sensitivity in his fingertips, with his right hand having been partially severed in the accident.
