Brazilian Bruno Senna, Italian Vitantonio Liuzzi and Germany's Nick Heidfeld are in the frame to replace injured Robert Kubica at Renault, the Formula One team's principal Eric Boullier has announced.
“We will look for Kubica's substitute: the names considered are Senna, Liuzzi and Heidfeld,” the Frenchman told reporters after visiting the Pole in hospital in Italy.
“The team is close to Robert, we wait for him with open arms and we hope he can come back before the end of the season,” he added.
Senna, who raced for the HRT team last year, is the first reserve at Renault while Liuzzi and the highly experienced Heidfeld are looking for a seat after leaving Force India and Sauber respectively.
Kubica faces more surgery on Thursday after suffering multiple fractures in a rally crash in Italy and is likely to stay in hospital for two to three weeks.
Thereafter a decision will be made about where he should continue his rehabilitation
