Eric Boullier defended criticism that Robert Kubica, Lotus Renault GP employer should have prohibited Polish participate in Rally Ronde di Andora.
The Polish pilot of 26 years is currently in a coma induced after being subjected to a complex operation of seven hours of multiple injuries suffered, including a partially severed hand.
Hazardous activities such as be running in other tests usually are banned from F1 through contracts for pilots, and commentator Martin Brundle admitted on Twitter who thought that Kubica participation in the rally was "crazy".
Darren Heath added: "Is the F1 cockpit is not enough to have an irresponsible accident in a rall?" "Do they can be Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, Kubica being so stupid?..."
Another point of note was the car Kubica that crashed a Skoda and not a Renault.
In fact, last month, Renault had to de-emphasize the rumors of a break of questioning of Kubica's participation in the famous Monte Carlo rally.
But the head of the team Boullier is cited by the French news agency AFP: "Has nothing to do with business."
"Robert is allowed do so, since it is close to his heart." In his view, it is of vital importance for a balance. "That aside is a mutual agreement."
"Also knew the risks", added the French by adding: "we do not want a robot or is controlled by the companies".
Regardless of background, Kubica - is still in a "serious" situation - faces at least a year of recovery, low surgeon Igor Rossello told reporters of surgery.
"Don't want to be too optimistic", said cited by Sky Italy, "but we expect a positive outcome."
Kubica manager Daniele Morelli said that the key question is whether right-hand regains its functionality, but Rossello said they need a few days to ensure that the hand "is going to survive".
The surgeon, however, expresses its confidence that 26 years, Kubica, Polish may "resumed its activity" in the future.
As always, the evaluation of Niki Lauda is on top of everything.
"Robert has the qualities of a champion, once again," said triple champion of the world with the newspaper Blick.
