Robert Kubica would 'now be sitting in a Ferrari' had it not been for his rally accident last year, according to Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
Kubica was left with severe injuries when he crashed during the Ronde di Andorra in Italy last February and for a while it was unclear whether he would ever be able to drive a Formula 1 car again.
He missed the entire 2011 season as he recovered from his injuries only to suffered a fresh setback in January when he broke his right leg in a fall, ending hope of him making his return in 2012.If he had not been injured Ecclestone believes he would have moved to Ferrari and he believes the only reason Felipe Massa is still with the team is because there is not a suitable alternative.
"One thing is clear - Felipe is not really blessed by luck, but he is fast," Ecclestone told the Formula 1 website."I rather think that it is a question of alternatives at Ferrari: who from the available drivers is faster than Felipe?"I don't see anybody. But I am sure that Robert Kubica would by now be sitting in a Ferrari had he not had his terrible rally accident." - http://www.setanta.com
