Lotus Renault GP extends Robert Kubica’s “deadline”

Lotus Renault GP extends Robert Kubica’s “deadline”

According to Renault’s owner Gerard Lopez, the team will give the young Pole some more time in order to improve his fitness and get in the best shape for the upcoming 2012 Formula 1 season.

At first it was announced that the team has given Robert Kubica a deadline for making a decision regarding his race seat with the team for 2012.

However, Lopez claims that the team will take him if he is fit to drive for 2012 and they are not going to let him go that easily.

“If Robert is on the market then of course we will take him. Our commercial model requires success on the tracks. Also we paid Robert's salary this year, although he drove no races with us. We will look at the matter at the beginning of November. Robert will have a car to show us what he can do. The data analysis is now so good that you can see with another car whether he is physically able to return,” Lopez told Auto Motor und Sport.

Keeping that in mind, Kubica’s manager also announced that the Renault driver will be fit to return to the sport in 2012 and that is his main goal as he was unable to take part in the 2011 Formula 1 season due to a near fatal injury he received earlier on this year.
