One of Robert Kubica’s doctors has revealed that the Pole is already driving a road car and preparing to step imminently behind the wheel of a much faster vehicle.<\/p>\n
F1’s well-known Dr Ricciardo Ceccarelli sparked pessimism about Kubica’s 2012 return last week when he said the 26-year-old will have to spend “a few more months” in rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
That would likely race him long past Renault’s deadline as the team presses ahead with deciding its next driver lineup.<\/p>\n
But Kubica’s hand surgeon Igor Rossello has told Polish radio Trojce this week that the driver “has recovered; he can move and lift with all his fingers.<\/p>\n
“We can now think about getting him back as soon as possible into a car.\u00a0 Sorry, into a racing car, because he is already in a (road) car.<\/p>\n
“His recovery is a miracle but the unknown thing is whether he will be able to be as fast.<\/p>\n
“We still have to do a small intervention for improving the mobility of his wrist, as with this type of accident the hand is never as flexible as it was before.\u00a0 Then it will take a lot of exercise.<\/p>\n
“But he will be able to drive his formula one car again and press all the buttons — we’re talking about a racing driver, not a pianist,” added Rossello.<\/p>\n
“I look at him and I can’t stop wondering how well it has all gone; all the breaks and the wounds have healed, the only question is whether he will drive as he did before.<\/p>\n
“He will have some limitations; remember that we considered amputation.<\/p>\n
“But that (whether he is fast enough) will be assessed by the (F1) specialists.\u00a0 We have done our job perfectly.”<\/p>\n
