SILVERSTONE -- Renault boss Cyril Abiteboul says Robert Kubica's performance at his second test of a Formula One car continued to bolster his case for a return, though he will not rush into putting the Pole into the team's 2017 car.
Kubica completed his much-anticipated second test at Paul Ricard this week, a session in a modified 2012 car allocated to properly assess whether he is ready to make a return to F1 after six years. The former BMW and Lotus driver has not raced in the series since suffering horrific arm injuries in a rally crash on the eve of the 2011 season.
