Kubica missed the United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis 11 days ago after a spectacular shunt in Canada a week previously.

His smash in Montreal was measured at 75 times the force of gravity, which under normal circumstances would prove fatal yet the Pole sustained nothing more than light concussion due to the strength and safety of his BMW Sauber monocoque.

However, Kubica was denied the chance to race in Indy on medical grounds as there were fears that in light of his concussion, another accident could have had serious consequences.

But following the latest medical examination at the track situated outside Nevers, the 22-year-old will be back in action from Friday for the day's two practice sessions.

"I am 100% cent fit and now looking forward to the French Grand Prix," confirmed Kubica. "I am glad I only missed out on the race in Indianapolis.

"Although I wasn't allowed to test (at Silverstone last week), I've used the time to focus intensively on preparing for the next race. Now I can't wait to get back into the car."

In Kubica's absence in Indianapolis, 19-year-old Sebastian Vettel became the youngest driver in Formula One history to score a point when he finished eighth.
