Some days before Boullier announced the deadline, Morelli said that Kubica could start driving on a track during october. So Kubica test could be the farthest date Boullier could negociate with these sponsors?
Feb 7th 2012 will be the first day of testing the 2012 challengers. I'm curious what the criteria will be for RK to meet a deadline in about 3 weeks. What are the specifics? Does anyone know any stated specific benchmarks? What is it that is discernable that needs to be accomplished 3.75 months before the start of actual testing? I'm quite curious, because either way it is going to be a bit speculative even by experts. Is this purely a business decision, and do you think it is written in stone?
