Mercedes F1 will offer a test to Robert Kubica

Robert Kubica is of great interest Mercedes. After carrying out tests in DTM at the wheel of the Mercedes Coupé C DTM on the Vallelunga circuit last February, the Stuttgart manufacturer offered a wheel for the full season to the Pole who preferred to decline to compete in a program with Citroën in ERC and WRC2. Toto wolff, the executive chairman of Mercedes Motorsport, wants to keep in touch with the former BMW driver and Renault F1 and will bring him a Silver Arrow for a full-scale testing session after inviting him to tests on its simulator in Brackley.

“If there is a chance to see him back behind the wheel of a DTM car or in an F1 cockpit, we would love to make that possible.”, admitted Toto Wolff to BBC Sport. “He is someone I have known for ten years, but the decision is entirely his and his main objective remains the rally. This is what he wants to find success again and it is in this direction that he is approaching his future. » Mercedes will wait to know the choice of the Pole who will make his decision mainly based on his physical condition following his terrible accident in 2011 which still leaves him with reduced mobility in his right arm.
