Robert Kubica still eyeing an F1 return

Robert Kubica wants to have more surgery on his injured hand, in a bid to return to Formula One.

The Polish partially severed his right hand in a rally accident on the eve of the 2011 Formula One season, and has not recovered enough movement to return to the sport again. He was then considered by many as one of the best drivers in motor sports, during the time of his tragic crash.

The accident has restricted movement in his arm and fingers, making driving in the narrow cockpit of a single-seater car challenging.

Despite admitting last year that it was “nearly impossible” for him to return to Formula One, he still managed to compete in the World Rally Championship this season. Kubica led the famous Monte Carlo Rally at one stage, and had a best finish of sixth.

Kubica, who drove for BMW Sauber and Renault, plans to review his fitness and consider having more surgery, after the upcoming Rally GB, which takes place on the 14th to the 16th of November.
