Lotus Renault: It is increasingly likely that the 2012 season will start without Robert Kubica

It seems increasingly likely that the Lotus Renault will start the 2012 season without the Pole Robert Kubica.

Eric boullier he admitted in Abu Dhabi that until now, contacts with the Pole, still recovering from last winter's accident, have been very rare. Thus, fears are growing that Kubica is not yet ready to return to F1.

“I am patient because morally I cannot ignore him, he was very important for us”.

“If we find ourselves in a situation where he can race again, even halfway through the season, I will do everything I can to get him back on track, but I can't do more.”

“If he doesn't talk to anyone, what can I do? October was the key moment, but unfortunately I think he's not ready yet."

“What we know is that Robert cannot give a precise deadline, we must continue to communicate with him. Clearly we want him back, although during the 2012 season, why not?”.
