Polish Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica's participation in the famous Monte Carlo Rally this week is on the skids, after the engine in his Renault Clio R3 failed.

After the failure just 4km into the icy prologue stage on Tuesday night, the new Renault F1 driver was investigating whether he would be able to start Wednesday's action with a new engine, France's Auto Hebdo reported.

But it emerges that the engine will not be changed in time.
