I just hope Robert gets better and we stop reading of additional surgeries. If he comes back, he comes back. If not, hopefully he will be at least pain-free.

Let's face it, we don't know. Kubica has impressed me by keeping silent on his recovery - very sensible and dignified - so (however frustrating it is!) we'll have to wait and see. But by what stage this year do people think he'd need to say, "Yes, I'm fit" to be on the grid for 2013?

Joint operations are tricky, as there is so much to deal with, like tendons and muscles as well as the joint itself.

Kubica has been talking to Fernando Alonso and he is very unsure about Kubica returning to full fitness meaning his return to top level motorsport is less likely.

Personally I do not expect Kubica to return.

I'd like to hear what his doctor has to say.

I suppose GP Update couldn't really publish photos of Prince Harry, .

I hear Stirling Moss's seat at Mercedes is looking increasingly unlikely also.

Kubica will drive Subaru Impreza WRC2007 (run by Belgian First Motorsport) in this Sunday's Ronde Gomitolo di Lana, as a preparation for the following weekend's Rallye San Martino di Castrozza (round of Italian Rally Championship).

Yeah, he must improve, even if not for F1 anymore.

Does anyone else think that maybe a rally might not be right for Robert? Tempting fate and so on.

I did kind of think it wasn't the best of moves but maybe its the best way to tame any fears he may have?
I guess its only the same as MotoGP riders racing with broken legs, Alex Zanardi returning to Touring Cars or Rugby players going back to play before their recovery period is finished. I guess it is similar to the Massa situation too. Good luck to him, I hope it all goes well. If thats what he wants to do then thats what he wants . |

Good luck to him in Rally. At least if he makes a career there it'll keep all this 'will he, won't he' rubbish off the F1 discussion with any luck. I know that will take time however.

Biggest disappointment in F1 for years that this guy isnt there ... had the potential to be anything. Hope he does well in whatever he chooses to do

An interview (in Italian) with Kubica from earlier today: link
Robert said that his ultimate goal is to get back to open-wheel racing, specifically F1 in 2014. Also, a picture from Ronde Gomitolo di Lana's shakedown: |

Robert has won his comeback race. He did it in style too with a whole bunch of stage wins all the way to his victory at the Ronde Gimitolo Di Lana.
What an inspiration |
