F1: Kubica fear, but recovery can

It had to be a fun race, the Rally Ronde di San Lorenzo di Testico, instead motoring event had a dramatic epilogue to Robert Kubica, the top driver of the Lotus-Renault who had excelled in the last test in Valencia. Something went wrong during the race is the Pole has hit violently with his Skoda against the guard rail, causing serious injuries: a broken leg, internal bleeding and multiple injuries to his right hand.

Yesterday afternoon, Kubica has undergone a delicate operation (performed by the team of Hand Surgery Hospital Santa Corona in Pietra Ligure and lasted seven hours) to reduce fractures and revascularize the limb that is no longer at risk amputation. The pilot spent a quiet night and this morning the hand is hot this is considered by surgeons as a positive signal for the success of the operation.

Unfortunately, it will take a week to know if he can recover fully the functionality, a necessary condition for a return in the top flight: the driver at this time was projected to reach the peak of his career with a car which this year promises to be competitive. But the career of the Polish driver has already been marked by serious accident debris and off the circuit: in 2003 he was the victim of a car accident in Poland and also at that time risked losing an arm, and in 2007 became involved in a frightening carambola during the Grand Prix of Canada (fortunately without serious consequences).

Now, the world of motor rallies around the talents of the Lotus-Renault in a full recovery and hopes to see him back on track as soon as possible.
