Robert Kubica’s comeback to Formula One has been dealt another blow following reports he has broken his right leg. It’s the same leg which suffered fractures in that horrific rally accident which caused him to miss the entire 2011 F1 season. He now faces up to month in plaster.
It’s understood Kubica slipped on some ice and fell in the garden at his home in Poland and afterwards complained of pain his leg. He was driven to hospital where checks revealed the 27-year-old had re-fractured his right tibia.
Kubica is apparently on the outer with his F1 team Lotus (nee Renault) and the Enstone outfit has previously said their relationship was at “point zero”. Although, they have also said they will do what they can to help him return to F1.
Meanwhile, Ferrari are believed to show interest in Kubica once he regains full fitness. Speaking before this latest injury became public Stefano Domenicali played a straight bat to suggestions Kubica could join Alonso at Ferrari in 2013.
“Robert is a great driver, but he had very severe injuries and he is still working to get back to normal living. We need to wait to see. That kind of injury takes a long time to recover from,” Domenicali said.
