Poland's Kubica is considered one of the most talented drivers in Formula 1
Injured Renault driver Robert Kubica says he is confident he will return to Formula One in 2012.
The 26-year old is currently undergoing rehabilitation after being injured in a rally crash in February that has ruled him out of the 2011 F1 season.
Speaking to the Renault website, Kubica was asked whether he will be on the grid next year.
"I am satisfied with how things are proceeding," he said. "Mentally, I've no problem at all."
Kubica's most notable injury was a severed right hand, but he insisted there are no psychological impacts on him from the accident.
He added: "I am just aware of the consequences it had. So to me it's as if it never happened.
"Physically, I am still a bit weak, but my general condition is quite good.
"My weight has now returned to its normal level and for a few weeks I've been able to walk without help. All in all I feel pretty well.
"The improvement is in line with the expectations, and luckily there are no complications that could affect the recovery time.
"It is still too early to have a clear picture for the timing of my return, but the important thing is the final outcome, not the hurry."
