Who will replace the injured Kubica?

UPDATE Asked about which reserve driver team would prefer, Lotus Renault team principal Eric Boullier had last week said that from the two reserve drivers, Bruno Senna and Romain Grosjean, Senna was the most ready to replace any of the regular drivers.

Ho-Pin Tung

With Robert Kubica badly injured today in a rally accident the immediate speculation turns to which Lotus Renault driver will race in his place.

The team's reserve drivers include Bruno Senna, Ho-Pin Tung and Romain Grosjean. Of the three only Senna has real F1 race experience and will, therefore, probably get the seat.

However, the Chinese Grand Prix is in mid-April and we would not be at all surprised if Dutch-Chinese driver Ho-Pin Tung gets the seat for at least that event.
