Formula One: 'I will be back in 2011!' Robert Kubica
Lotus Renault’s Robert Kubica hopes to make a speedy recovery as he sets his sights to come back to the Formula One family and into a Formula One car within this year.
The Polish driver is understood to be responding well to rehabilitation routine in a hospital in Italy after undergoing a horrid accident in Sunday’s Ronde di Andora rally, that saw the youngster suffering multiple fractures to his limbs and sporting a partially
severed right hand.
While it was a miracle that the Lotus Renault man came out of the remains of a squashed car alive, it appears that Kubica’s spell on the sidelines will be shortened to enable him to resume to track-duty sooner than expected.
Kubica is scheduled to undergo another surgery on Friday but insists that he wishes to be back racing this year. The driver claimed that he was fully determined to regain ‘full’ functionality after the 7 hour surgery that involved the reattachment of his
right hand.
Reflecting on the surgeon’s work, the Lotus Renault driver offered:
"The fingers work and so does the arm, I can feel them. But I still have to undergo another operation and then I will know. I cannot move much right now. But I don't have much pain because I'm sedated."
Kubica further added that he was looking forward to his progress after the second surgery on Saturday, this time involving his arm and foot after which he plans to focus his energies to rigorously follow the rehab routine in-line with the countdown to his
return to the motorsport.
The youngster conceded that he still had trouble piecing the rally accident puzzle together that saw him colliding with a church wall and coming to stand-still with a guard-rail piercing through his Skoda Fabia.
"I am saddened with what has happened. It should not have happened. I am sorry for my mother because I have made her worry and suffer. One does this job but never thinks of the consequences. I just know that I did the rally and now I am in this bed," he
added.
However, the Polish driver concluded that he had no regrets of participating in the rally race in the first place. Racing is in his blood while speed is his passion. As long as his love for motorsport remains, he shall have no qualms in pushing his car to
the limit in the future.
