Kubica: France check-up a formality
Robert Kubica is expecting his upcoming medical check-up to be a formality as the Pole looks to return to racing action following his crash
The BMW-Sauber driver missed the United States Grand Prix after doctors did not give him the green light amid fears that he could suffer another concussion so soon after his Montreal accident.
Kubica will undergo further checks ahead of the French Grand Prix next week before he is allowed to race, but the Pole is expecting the process to be just a formality.
"I can't wait to get back into the car," said Kubica in a team preview. "I may not have been given the green light to compete in the USA, but I hope the medical examination at Magny-Cours will be a formality.
"The reason why I wasn't allowed to drive at Indianapolis had nothing to do with how I felt; the problem was the risk involved in suffering a second accident within such a short space of time.
"That's also why I wasn't allowed to test. I've used the time to focus intensively on preparing for the next race."
