Abu Dhabi runs could lead to a fairytale return from injury for Pole
Williams has batted away reports that it has already struck a deal with Robert Kubica for next season, but has admitted that this week’s test in Abu Dhabi will be conducted to assess the Pole’s readiness for an F1 return.
The British team is currently deciding between three candidates for its second F1 berth in 2018 with Kubica believed to be up against Paul di Resta and Toro Rosso refuge Daniil Kvyat for the seat alongside Lance Stroll.
Kubica has repeatedly been linked with a grand prix return after returning from life-threatening injuries sustained in a rally accident in early 2011. The 32-year-old has already tested a 2014-spec car for Williams at Silverstone and the Hungaroring, as well as testing for Renault in Hungary in the summer.
