It has been announced that Robert Kubica will never return to F1again,so is officially retired.It's a pity really,but why did he need to do a rally at all is beyond me .And now his career in F1 I finished

[StarsWorld]

very sad news
what a talent. I would say what a waste, but that would be slightly unfair

At least he can say he won a race and drove very well in his years in F1.
More than many others can say

Terrible shame But we all knew it wasnt going to happen when he is out for a whole year.

I know Button likes his cycling, Vettel likes skiing in his spare time. With Kubica, he competed in IRC. it just seemed he couldnt take time out, racing and competing was something he just had to do, and for that I admire him. Its just a great shame we wont see him in F1 anymore.

Whilst I think this is the likely outcome, do you have a source? A quick internet search turned up nothing.

Robert Kubica`s comeback to F1, his condition etc.
About week ago on BBC sport appeared an article in which journalist wrote: "Kubica can drive a road car and a rally car without problem but the nerves in his right arm, which was partially severed are still not healed sufficiently to allow him to move his fingers quickly or accurately enough to operate the controls on an F1 car."

Exactly, I don't see this "announced" anywhere either.

That is too bad, but if that's the case I hope we see him continue on in rally.

[gregmcal]

Very sad if true.
For me Kubica showed glimpses of real potential but has now taken away the chance to really prove what we thought he might be capable of. I also feel sorry for his fans and especially for the interest in Poland. A talent cut short far too early over a silly unnecessary accident. I wish him the best in whatever he decides to do or compete in.

[Jenisoisy]

I cannot see anything official yet. Hope he will back to circuits.

[GaryBulguihb]

There is nothing official but you can follow polish blog where are all rumors about Robert Kubica come back. In one of latest entries there is doctor Rossello opinion that fingers are ok but problem is with his elbow.

There is a hope but we have to wait.

This is a shame. He was rumoured to head to possibly head to Ferrari for 2014. I think they'd have taken the constructors with a line up like that.

[attractiveweb]

I hope this rumour is not true. Sadly, I fear that it could be the case.

[Lvnufcdc]

Would be sad, but only expected. I think there is very little chance he will ever be back in F1.

[valiumcheepval]

but why did he need to do a rally at all is beyond me

Because rally has been his passion.

[Vikonbarius]

He could maybe do a decent rally program then, he wouldn't be the 10453678th tourist..

It was on a thread by Jenson Button and McLaren on my FB

I would like to see if a team (Lotus) could, using last year's car, make the necessary accomodations so that he could at least test an F1 car again at a proper track. Perhaps do away with the (fine) finger controls and, if he has an issue with his elbow, modify the cockpit so that he can manage to drive as comfortably as possible.

Why would anyone do this?

Might as well just let him drive a NASCAR. Jus sayn....
