Nico Hulkenberg thinks that Hungary is the perfect venue for Robert Kubica to step up his campaign to return to Formula 1.

Nico Hulkenberg has said that he thinks Hungary is the perfect venue for Robert Kubica to step up his campaign to return to Formula 1.

Pole Kubica has already tested a 2012 car at Valencia and Paul Ricard, but Renault have now announced that the 32-year-old will drive the current car in the post-Hungarian Grand Prix test.

It has raised expectations of a sensational return to the grid for the former BMW and Renault driver, perhaps even as soon as Spa after the August break, to fever pitch.

Hulkenberg, the current Renault racer, thinks that Budapest's Hungaroring is the perfect venue for Kubica to put the pedal to the metal.

"The Hungaroring is one of the most strenuous tracks, because there is only one straight on which to relax," the German told Auto Motor und Sport.

"After the race weekend there's a lot of rubber on the track too, which means maximum grip. Anyone who passes that test can also drive a grand prix."

A report in Bild said that Renault's "secret plan" is for Kubica to impress in Hungary and then "replace the struggling Jolyon Palmer at Spa on August 27".

Meanwhile, the FIA has given its blessing for Kubica's return to the sport.
