Robert Kubica is inching closer to his return to formula one.

It had emerged that his rehabilitation from his horror February rally crash will speed up after an imminent elbow mobilisation operation.

"After the surgery Kubica will begin immediately with simulator tests," said the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
