Former Red Bull driver Mark Webber has had his say on Robert Kubica’s return to Formula 1 admitting he’s slightly sceptical about his incredible comeback.
Kubica returns to the grid in 2019 following his rally car accident in 2011 which almost proved fatal.
The former Sauber driver will race for Williams in 2019 taking teaming up with rookie George Russell but Webber isn’t as confident as some people have been following Kubica’s dream return.
"I'm a bit nervous about Robert Kubica,” Webber told WTF1.com.
"I just hope he does not get too frustrated with the limited freedom of movement of his right arm.
"In some situations, such as on wet track, aquaplaning or riding over the curbs, it could be difficult.”
Despite worries over his physical condition, the Australian is confident the Polish driver can handle the mental side of the sport and believes he only has to prove it to himself.
"As for the mental, there are no doubts at all.
“Robert is in great shape and eager to prove himself.”
“That is also the most important thing, he does not have to prove it to anyone other than himself.
“But there are some unanswered questions in that regard,” Webber added.
