Robert Kubica's says his new steering wheel method is like holding a bird

Robert Kubica has likened the way he now has to operate a Formula One steering wheel to holding a bird without hurting it or letting it fly away.

Williams reserve Kubica returned to the cockpit during the Spanish Grand Prix, where he deputised for Sergey Sirotkin in first practice, and in one of the post-race test days this week. The Polish driver, who nearly lost his right arm the 2011 rallying crash which prematurely ended his F1 career, is still hopeful of landing a full-time seat at a team in future.

The question of Kubica's physical limitations has been a popular topic since he first returned to an F1 cockpit for Renault in Hungary last year.
