The FIA has ushered the green light for Robert Kubica amid his rumoured return to the sport. The Pole will test for Renault next week, driving a 2017 F1 car for the first time. The test will take place at the Hungaroring in the days following the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Renault boss Cyril Abitebouil admitted that the session will test Kubica to see if he can "return to competition in upcoming years". Some other sources claim that Kubica could be arriving back as soon as the Belgian Grand Prix, replacing Jolyon Palmer.
However, there is no doubt that movement in the former BMW and Renault driver's right arm is severely limited in the wake of his 2011 horror rally crash, but F1 race director Charlie Whiting said the path is clear for Kubica to return.
"Like any other driver, Robert has his A-license from the national association. The licensing also includes a medical check," he told Auto Motor und Sport. "There will not be any special regulations for Kubica."
