Can't wait to get back into the car - Kubica

During the US Grand Prix, Robert Kubica was still forced to sit out and watch. Now the Pole is determined to get back behind the wheel of his BMW Sauber F1.07 next weekend in Magny-Cours. Once more it is up to the doctors to decide, but Robert is confident.

"I can't wait to get back into the car," exclaims Kubica. "I may not have been given the green light to compete in the USA, but I hope the medical examination at Magny-Cours will be a formality. The reason why I wasn't allowed to drive in Indianapolis had nothing to do with how I felt; the problem was the risk involved in suffering a second accident within such a short space of time. That's also why I wasn't allowed to test. I've used the time to focus intensively on preparing for the next race."

Last year, Robert took to the "Circuit de Nevers" at the wheel of a Formula One car for the first time when he competed in the Friday practice sessions for the BMW Sauber F1 Team. The youngster immediately felt at home: He achieved the fastest lap time of all drivers in both of the free practice sessions.

Nevertheless, Robert is impartial to the 4.411-kilometre. "I'm pretty neutral about the Magny-Cours track. It isn't one of my favourite circuits, but at the same time I don't have a problem with it. Magny-Cours is a lot more fun in a Formula One car than with the smaller cars I've driven there before in other categories of racing."
