Just heard this on the news myself. Bad news for Lotus. He could have done really well this season.

[Deak]

He still can do but obviously with just less races then everyone else

[Jam]

Bugger. Really hoped he could push for the WDC this year, nice guy.

This is so sad, it's likely that Bruno Senna will be promoted to a race seat.

I do think he will be the most likely out of him & Grosjean to start in Bahrain

Just seen the breaking news on Kubica... he's undergone 7 hours of surgery and may need a year to regain full use of his right hand...

So, no Kubica for 2011 then if thats true

[Ajthedragon]

There is also a chance they might buy out Hulkenburg from his long-term contract at force india. I think that given Kubica was their no.1 driver, they wouldn't want to replace him with someone they know little knowledge of in terms of their capability in faster cars.

On a sadder note, Kubica is currently in an induced coma.

It's been announced he won't be back for several months. www.lotusrenaultgp.com

Ah such a sad situation. Was really hoping he'd be a contender this year as it's obvious what he can do. Hopefully he makes a solid return, and that this isn't the end.

Agreed thought he would have been one of the title contenders or just behind the top teams.... I hope he does make a return at the end of 2011 or in the 2012 season as he's a great driver

[Ajthedragon]

He might do a Massa though, and it could affect his long-term ability to drive fast! Massa hasn't been the same since.
