F1 race Kubica 'much better' after rally crash in Italy

It took the emergency services more than one hour to cut Kubica from the wreckage of his Skoda Fabia.

Kubica diperlukan transfusi selama beberapa prosedur untuk menstabilkan kondisi setelah kehilangan banyak darah setelah kecelakaan kecepatan tinggi.

Namun dalam pernyataan di situs resmi tim, mereka mengatakan bahwa sebentar Kubica telah terbangun oleh dokter di rumah sakit Santa Corona di Pietra Ligure dan mampu berbicara kepada sanak saudara.

"Dia juga mampu menggerakkan jari-jarinya, yang merupakan tanda menggembirakan untuk sisa proses pemulihan," katanya.
Dr Mario Igor Rosello, spesialis yang mengoperasi Kubica, mengklaim kurangnya pembengkakan atau infeksi di lengan kanannya juga merupakan "pertanda baik" tetapi menambahkan hal itu akan menjadi "beberapa hari sebelum diketahui jika operasi adalah 100 persen sukses. "

Kubica terluka parah dalam menggalang kecelakaan

Kubica mengalami patah tulang berganda untuk lengan kanan dan kaki setelah memukul seorang penjaga rel ketika ia kehilangan kendali-nya Skoda Fabia selama rally de Ronde Andorra di Italia.

"He loves rallying," team boss Eric Boullier told Italian news agency Ansa. "We knew the risks and so did he. We didn't want a robot or a corporate man for a driver. It was agreed."

Kubica finished 2010 in eighth position and was due to start his fifth campaign as a first-choice driver, but there are now doubts as to whether the former Sauber driver will be fit to play any part in the 2011 campaign.

When asked about the length of time it could take for 2008 Canadian Grand Prix winner to recover, Rossello is reported by the BBC to have said, "One year. One year is the best provision."

Kubica also suffered fractures to his shoulder and elbow and Lotus Renault said the hospital would decide over the next few days if further operations were necessary on these injuries.

Support has been offered from throughout the close-knit world of F1 for the only Polish driver to have ever driven at this level, including a specially-designed "Twibbon" on the social-networking site Twitter.

McLaren's 2009 world champion Jenson Button tweeted, "Shocking news about Robert Kubica. I wish him a speedy recovery."

Another driver to offer his sympathies was Williams' veteran Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, who used his Twitter blog to say, "I would like to ask you for your best wishes to Kubica," and "we all like him and he deserves all the best."

If Kubica is unable to take to the grid for the start of the season, Lotus Renault may choose to promote one of their two reserve drivers.

The team's two options are Bruno Senna, who raced for HRT in 2010, and Frenchman Romain Grosjean.
The 2011 Formula One season is set to get underway at Bahrain's International Circuit on March 13.
