The Polish formula one driver Robert Kubica has conceded he'll miss the start of the 2012 Formula One season because he won't be fully recovered from a near-fatal rally accident in February.
Kubica's Renault team say they remain committed to his return, and they're already in contract talks for 2013.
But the 26-year-old's Formula One future remains in the balance after he spent two months in hospital immediately following the crash in Italy and missed all of this season.
