Robert Kubica thinks he has '90 percent chance' of F1 return

Robert Kubica believes he has an "80 or 90 percent" chance of making a Formula One comeback following his Renault test last month, one he looks set to repeat in the near future.

Kubica returned to an F1 cockpit for the first time in Valencia, driving a 2012-spec Lotus E20 and impressing Renault with his pace. The Polish driver's F1 career was cut short in 2011 when he nearly severed his right arm and hand in a violent rallying crash ahead of the season.

His impressive test sparked rumours he could replace struggling Renault driver Jolyon Palmer this season, though the team has played down that speculation.
