Date February 6, 2011 is probably all very well known, unfortunate accident ... Robert today struggling to return to F1 starting in rallies. In the last year he won the title in WRC2, and this year he is racing in WRC with M-Sport team - as he himself admits he treats it as a rehabilitation ...
Would it be possible? We decided to be extremely toil to reach the stars of motorsport and ask for their opinion - what they think about Robert and his return?
"I think for Robert in F1 it is not going to be posible. He recovers well from his Rallye injuries but the F1 teams would not take any risks. An F1 car is much more harder to drive than a rally car too. I really hope he will be back there as he deserves it and he' a fantastic driver but I expect for him that it is over."
"I know Robert personally. He's a great fighter and a strong personality man. Im hoping he will have one more chance!"
"I think he is a very talented driver. Shame what happened to him because I think he has all to be a world champion. You never know in the future what can happen. In F1 there are no “nevers” so lets see. For sure he is working hard to come back, as well as a lot of drivers. It´s a very competitive market."
"Because of his injuries I do not think there is a chance to come back. I was a big fan of Robert and I still am."
"He's amazing but I don't think we will see him back in Formula 1."
"I think he is a very courageous man, nobody expected him to ever drive again, what he is doing at the moment with the rally car is extraordinary. He will not come back to F1 but will do well in other formulas."
"Robert was a potential Formula One World Champion, but he will not be in F1 again, sadly."
"I wish he could be back to F1 cos he was one of the best driver of F1. He could have been World Champion in a good team."
"I trained with Robert in Italie! In a gym for racing drivers! A nice and fast guy! But that time he just had his accident, so his arm was really bad.. I don't know if he will come back! I hope it."
"Robert is a great champion, but I do not think he can return to f1, it is too physically diminished and now it's been too long."
"I belive his a very good driver. About the future its impossible to predict something."
"Robert is a very good driver and i dont know but he seems to be happy in rally."
"I dont think so, as he is doing WRC now and i think he said that his hand cant do anymore f1."
"Hopefully those Polish drivers coming back to and get back into the top end of the motorsport, unfortunately I do not think Robert is going to be in a position to do that, but I am looking forward to see what your country can produce because obviously it can produce some very fast drivers."
"I don't think he will ever get back to F1. You might see him in WTCC for a few races."
"When Robert Kubica was driving f1, for me it was one of the best drivers. I don t think that he will be back in F1."
"Robert is a warrior I admire him."
"I think that his priority is WRC. Return to F1 is unrealistic, but is my view."
"Great driver, but I do not think he will be able to drive F1 again."
"Regarding Robert Kubica i Think he's still one of the best driver in formula one But unfortunately the crashed He had in rally ha changed his destiny Otherwise i ' m sure this year He was racing for ferrari. I dont Think He will came Back in formula one Even if i Hope for his return. ."
"He was a one of the special drivers who had a natural talent to be a world champion. Unfortunately I don’t think he is come back to F1."
"I don't believe he will get back to F1, the damage in the arm were to big and he can't get enough strength. While in rally he don't need that much strength cause of power steering."
"Maybe but It will be tough."
"I wish him all the best but it will be hard to be back on a F1 racing car."
"Robert is a tremendous driver, I would like to see him back to F1, however I don't know how he is coping with his injuries, he is a successful rally driver and rallying is not so stressful on his body so maybe he will stick to rallying and forsaking his F1 career."
"He is a very good driver who has been doing a good job despite how little experience he has. He will continue to improve and is a very competitive person. We are looking forward to racing him."
UPDATE:
Jody Scheckter: "Very sad and unlucky, not sure."
Philippe Streiff: "He is a very good driver... He won my karting indoor Masters in category "juniors", in 1999, at Paris-Bercy stadium ! I don't think he'll come back in F1... But he does well in WRC... !"
Adrian Campos: "I don`t know all people would like to see him back but..."
Giovanna Amati: "Unfortunately no way, and it's a real pity. F1 needs 200% of good shape. But I'm sure he can race successfully on other Championships."
