Robert Kubica has today informed Lotus Renault GP that he will not be ready for the start of the 2012 season, despite having started an intensive training programme. The Pole is still recovering from his really crash earlier this year and thereby gives the green light to LRGP to select its drivers for the 2012 campaign.
take it easy, you'll get a heart attack! XDGood tentative early news...fingers cross (excuse the pun) he makes a full recovery...or at least a 70% one so he can live a normal life and drive something...I don't unfortunately see him driving in F1 againRenault driver Robert Kubica has regained consciousness as he begins his recovery following seven-hour surgery.
The 26-year-old's right hand was partially severed and he suffered arm and leg fractures when he crashed during a rally in Italy on Sunday.
"The doctors have said he has taken important steps forward," said Kubica's agent Daniele Morelli.
Renault said in a statement that Kubica had been able to move his fingers and had talked to his relatives.
"He was briefly woken up by the doctors," said the Renault statement.
"He was also able to move his fingers, which is encouraging for the rest of his recovery process.
"In order to avoid any physical stress, Robert will be put under gentle medication in order to sleep for the next 24 hours at least.
"Meanwhile, the doctors will decide how they will treat his elbow and shoulder fractures. Robert may have to undergo surgery once again for this, but not for a few days."
Sad days...
In much the same manner as Massa was last year - until about midseason when Hockenheim was enough for some people to decide his career as a number one driver was effectively over.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:I think we can safely say that if Bobby does ever return he will be everyones second favourite driver.
That is remarkable.ben_watkins wrote: The other incredible thing is that some of the first words he spoke after being woken was that he asked after his co-driver's health.
Remarkable.

I bet he still regrets it deep inside though.Boullier also reiterated in an interview with ANSA that Renault backed Kubica's decision to take part in the event, despite its close proximity to the start of the new F1 season.
"Rallying is what Robert loves to do," he said. "We knew the risks and so did he. We didn't want a robot or a corporate man for a driver. It was agreed together.
