Former Formula 1 ace Robert Kubica is talking about reverting from rallying to racing – and hasn’t given up on his “dream” of a grand prix comeback.

The Pole, who won the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix (BELOW) on his way to finishing fourth in the World Championship, was considered by many to be the most complete driver on the grid at the time, has been through many surgeries since the rally accident that partially severed his right arm in the fall of 2010, and as recently as last year admitted a return to F1 was probably “impossible.”

Now, after two seasons competing in both the World and European Rally Championhips, Kubica told BBC Sport: “If I decide to try and come back, I will have more surgery this winter and maybe with the help of the doctors, and with some luck, it will be possible.”

Kubica has become near-infamous for being fast but accident-prone in a rally car, but won WRC-2 in 2013 and currently lies 12th in points in the WRC. He last raced a Formula 1 car in 2010, but was very quick in a DTM Mercedes he tested in January 2013, and he has said mobility has improved in his right hand even since then.
