ABU DHABI -- Robert Kubica admits he is still finding "compensations" to account for the limitations caused by his injuries, but remains confident he has proved he is capable of a full-time return with Williams next season.

Kubica returned to the cockpit with Williams on Tuesday for the final two test days of the 2017 season in Abu Dhabi. He completed 100 laps -- just shy of two race distances of the Yas Marina circuit, and although the main purpose of the two-day test is for teams to collect data on next year's tyres, Williams is also using it to assess the Polish driver's abilities in a modern car after two tests of a modified 2014 model at Silverstone and the Hungaroring.
