Motor Sport wishes Robert Kubica an extremely fast recovery from his terrible crash on the Ronde di Andora rally on Sunday.
The Lotus Renault driver’s accident occurred a few kilometres into the event when it is reported his Skoda Fabia hit a wall and a length of crash barrier penetrated the car. It left him with multiple fractures to his right leg and arm as well as cuts to his forearm and – most worryingly – his right hand, which was partially severed.
The Pole is currently in a ‘stable but serious’ condition in the Santa Corona Hospital in Pietra Ligure, Italy, and doctors are not sure whether he will race again in 2011. He has undergone a seven-hour operation on his hand, which according to doctors still retained heat afterwards, giving them hope that he will have full use of it once he has recovered.
Kubica’s co-driver Jakub Gerber was unhurt in the crash.
