Robert Kubica 'still believes' he will one day race in Formula 1 again

Robert Kubica remains convinced that he can still return to Formula 1, the Pole insisting a comeback after his injuries sustained in a rally crash is "not just a dream".

Kubica explained that, while the strength in his arm is "not what it was", the "bigger problem is the limitation in the supination and pronation of the arm and the limited functionality in my fingers". "But I'm convinced that this will come back slowly," he added. "Nerves need a lot of time and I see progress even if it's slow. I am quite sure this will be... not fixed, but not a big problem." Kubica admitted that he found F1 "not easy to watch" since his accident and that working towards a return to the top flight remained his goal. "When you have raced for 20 years and one day you have to stop... it's not easy, especially when you are hit with big problems," he added. "But being in a rally car is helping me with recovery and the day I sit behind the wheel and don't think any more about limitations...this would be the best rehabilitation. "If I have luck and keep working and the puzzle comes together, maybe one day I will drive an F1 car."
