Kubica to sit out Silverstone test
BMW driver still sidelined

Jun.18 (GMM) After missing the US grand prix, Robert Kubica will also sit out this week's pre-Magny Cours test at Silverstone in England.

Nine of F1's eleven teams on Sunday headed directly from Indianapolis to the Northamptonshire venue for a three-day session starting on Tuesday, but BMW's Kubica is yet to receive the all-clear from doctors to drive even at tests, team boss Mario Theissen told reporters on Sunday.

Theissen insisted, however, that Pole Kubica - who was hospitalised in Montreal after a huge crash during the Canadian grand prix a week ago - is scheduled to have a medical check in the days before the French race at Magny Cours.

"As soon he has the green light he will be sitting in the race car again," the German confirmed.
