Former Formula 1 driver Alex Zanardi thinks that a return to F1 for Robert Kubica is not impossible. Kubica drove an F1 car for the first time in six years this week after the Pole was involved in a horror rally crash in 2011 that cut short his F1 career.
Zanardi is a man that knows all about coming back from life-threatening injuries. In 2001, he was involved in a monstrous IndyCar crash that resulted in the amputation of legs. Nevertheless, he was able to return to racing and even more recently, won a gold medal at the 2016 Paralympics.
"I read that he did more than 100 laps, so he would be able to make a return to the sport," Zanardi said. "And in my opinion, it was not a random thing that Renault let him test the car. I hope he does (return), because he is a very good driver, a very good person, a very nice guy, and it would of course be a great story."
Not long ago, former Renault and BMW driver Kubica said he thought returning to F1 would be "impossible", as the disability to his right arm is permanent: "I have to do all of my (arm) movement with my shoulder."

Possible, but unlikely.
