Ferrari Set To Assist With Robert Kubica’s Return

After Robert Kubica suffered another blow to his rehabilitation after falling on ice, some may well have been forgiven for counting him out of a return to Formula 1, let alone with a superpower like Ferrari.

However there has been rumors circulating today that Ferrari could well assist the Pole in making a return to Formula 1, fueling the fact that Kubica could well become a Ferrari driver in the future.

After Robert Kubica suffered a near fatal accident in a Rally crash last February, many believed he would never return to Formula 1 again. However both himself and his team at the time, Renault, remained confident he’d return in the not too distant future. However, after informing Renault (Lotus) that he would be unfit to race in the coming 2012 season, ties between Kubica and Lotus fell apart, allowing Ferrari to move in and snap up the Polish driver.

If Robert Kubica is fit enough come June, Ferrari look set to test the Pole in a Ferrari F10, allowing Kubica to get his first taste of Formula 1 since the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The car in question will be fitted with a 1.6-liter V6 engine which will make its first appearance in Formula 1 in 2014, thus allowing Ferrari and Kubica to test for as long as necessary outside the current testing ban.

This potential test alone could indicate if Kubica is still able to drive a Formula 1 car in anger, or whether his injuries sustained in the rally crash were too severe to allow him to return to a sport.
