Good news on Kubica

In spite of a difficult race for the Lotus Renault GP team the Belgian Grand Prix, there was some good news to report following the race. A statement released on the team's website confirmed that Robert Kubica had undergone a final, successful operation on his injured right elbow.

It said: "Today, Robert underwent one last scheduled operation in Italy, aimed at recovering the full mobility of his right elbow. The surgeons are happy to report that they have been able to complete 100% of their task and did not encounter any complications. They have described the outcome of the operation as “a total success”.

"On waking up, it was immediately clear Robert was in good spirits. Why? Well, as soon as he opened his eyes, he asked for the results of today’s race!

"He will now rest in hospital for a few days before resuming his rehabilitation and training programme.

"Szybkiego powrotu do zdrowia, Robert."

It remains unlikely that the Pole will return to action before the end of the season and even six months after his life threatening accident, his Formula One future remains in the balance. However, this is yet another sign of positive progress for Kubica and we hope to see him return to action soon.
