according to website (testrally.com) kubica has been seen driving his own clio s1600 rally car again in Italy on a private test.There are 5 pics and in pic1 you can see im watching at the roadside but in a race suit but it says he definately drove the car and was fast too.
Im thinking he may not come back to F1 but take up rallying instead?

From what I read there is rumour and counter rumour - he didn't drive the car, he did drive it, he did drive but wasn't mega quick and so on.
I think there has been a bit of hype from his agent with regards to his condition, so its hard to actually find out how he is getting on.
If he does get back to F1 it will be an impressive comeback, problem is time is ticking, lots of kids appearing with money to get a drive, top teams are able to take their pick from the available talent - for them it'd be a hell of a risk to take him on straight in to a race seat.

Without the accident he would be in the Ferrari on the level of Alonso.
No he wouldn't. Alonso demands he is the 'first' driver and I don't see why Kubica would go into a team where he knows he won't get equal treatment. Without the accident he'd either be stuck in the Renault/Lotus or maybe in Rosberg's seat depending on how keen Mercedes are to have a Team Germany.I can see him in motorsport again, if his hand is still knackered he might be allowed to use a flappy-paddle set-up that allows him to change up or down with one hand similar to what WRC cars used a while ago.
i was thinking if he was driving that rally car it was left hand drive and he must of been using his right hand to change gear so things might be looking good for his hand operation/movement.
I cant see them adapting a gear lever next to the door for him to use his left hand to change gear cos he could steer with his right hand, if you know wot i mean

Jaques Villeneuve used to have a push/pull paddle on the right side of his steering wheel for the gearchange.I can see him in motorsport again, if his hand is still knackered he might be allowed to use a flappy-paddle set-up that allows him to change up or down with one hand similar to what WRC cars used a while ago.
It's easy with microswitches.
