The two programmes will gradually cross over based on the speed of my recovery”. Dr Riccardo Ceccarelli runs the Italian sports clinic ‘Formula Medicine’ and is a consultant with Renault Lotus Team. But it is still unsure whether the Pole would make his return in this Formula one season.

Kubica was very positive with the way the two drivers were taking the Renault team ahead and said that, “”The potential of the car, which I already noticed in the February Valencia test, seems to be confirmed. As usual, it’s now important the development continues to produce consistent updates for maintaining this level of performance. The guys did a great job with this car and I’m sure they’ll continue to improve. From my side, I’ll try to use my difficult experience to come back as strong as I possibly can”
The most heated debate after the crash of the Renault driver was the Renault team’s decision to allow the Pole to take part in a rally just five weeks before the start of the new season. different people will have different opinions. There are people who think this a very irresponsible decision on Renault’s part and these are the people who of a driver as a race machine and more as investment than a human driver. Eric Boullier was still defending his decision and also said that ,”Kubica’s extra-curricular activities make him the character that he is” . We just wish him all the luck and that we will see him soon driving the Renault.
