Robert Kubica likely to miss entire F1 season

When we last spoke about Robert Kubica we had the positive news that he had been released from hospital and his recovery was going well. That said, it’s probably no surprise to learn Kubica is not expected to race in Formula One this year.

Speaking to Spanish media at last weekend’s Grand Prix, Gerard Lopez, Renault F1 chief, said, “We will probably manage for (Kubica) to do a Friday session at some point in the year but for sure his return this season will not be possible.”

Lopez continued by suggesting Kubica’s future return to F1 is no certainty, “Robert has survived an impressive accident and now he has to do the hardest thing, to recover fully, which is something that nobody knows whether he will succeed. Not him, nor the doctors, nor us.”

Whatever the case may be, we wish Kubica the best for his recovery and hope to see him in a Formula One car as soon as possible.
