Any particular reason why he said no?
I'm guessing he doesn't have the confidence to lead a brand-new team.
I reckon the best thing for Kubica would be for Lotos to stop funding the Lotos WRC team and instead back customer Polos. Put Kubica in one car, and Mikkelsen in the other. Just run it as Volkswagen Motorsport II under a new name.

I'm afraid Kubica won't be rallying anymore next year, to me it seems like he wants to return to the circuits.

Do you have anything to support that idea? I know Citroen wanted him alongside Loeb in the WTCC, but then they took Muller. And despite the silliness of the Formula 1 silly season, Kubica's name hasn't come up once (though I have heard rumours that he is faster than both Hamilton and Rosberg in the Mercedes simulator), and there would still be serious questions about his arm.

One way to see Robert in circuit is F1, no WTCC, no DTM. F1 or WRC. I'm not surprised that Kubica refused Hyundai, he want to be a World Rally Champion not development driver.

Is Kubica capable to handle WRC car shifter yet?
Sääli on sairautta! ;)

He was capable of handling it during Portuguese rally when hydraulic system broke down and paddle shifter didn't work. But I guess it would be modified just as his WRC2 rally car.
