Former BWM-Sauber driver and Grand Prix winner Robert Kubica, says he is now ready to get behind the wheel of an F1 and test his ability.
The Polish driver's F1 career was cut short following a severe arm injury sustained in a rally crash in the winter of 2011.
Kubica slowly but surely nursed himself back to health but physical limitations linked to his arm injury prohibited a return to F1.
He continued to compete in rallying, and has signed on to race full-time in the World Endurance Championship with the ByKolles LMP1 team, which will race at Le Mans in June.
Kubica's return to road racing, and a few hours spent in Mercedes F1 simulator in the past, have sparked the Pole's motivation to give himself a competitive run in a Grand Prix car.
"I know that often some chances only come one time, but I always wanted to be sure about my condition and what I can do," Kubica was quoted as saying by Autosport
"And if I was not sure, I always said to myself, 'forget it'. My physical condition is not a common one, and few people have experienced similar circumstances.
"Everyone reacts in a different way - and that can be a very personal thing. I would like to relive the thrill of the Formula 1 experience."
Kubica knows it would not be a simple task however extracting the most out of a competitive F1 car, let alone doing it during a full-scale Grand Prix weekend.
"I have tried many simulators, and I am convinced that I would drive at 80% of the F1 tracks - but not all of them.
