F1 Driver Robert Kubica Conscious But Faces More Surgery
Renault’s Robert Kubica has been moved from intensive care as he continues his recovery following a high-speed rally crash in Italy on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Pole suffered multiple fractures and will undergo two operations on his foot and humerus at an Italian hospital on Friday.
A further operation on Kubica’s elbow has been scheduled for Monday.
“His general condition is good, so much so we can programme two operations on Friday,” Dr Giorgio Barabino said.
“Next week we expect to perform the last operation on the patient.”
Kubica has been at the Savona’s Santa Corona di Pietra Ligure hospital, 35 miles south-west of Genoa, since crashing his Skoda Fabia against a church wall during the Ronde di Andora rally. BBC Sport
While Renault have named Nick Heidfeld and Bruno Senna as possible replacements and said they will be testing the R31 over the weekend, the 26-year-old was clearly at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts in Spain.
Kubica’s team-mate Vitaly Petrov had the message ‘Szybkiego powrotu do zdrowia Robert’, which translates as ‘Get well soon Robert’, sprayed across his engine cover. And as the rest of the group emerged from the pits, it was revealed they were all carrying the same message. Telegraph.co.uk
