Robert Kubica has progressed to the second step of rehabilitation as he continues to recover from his rally crash of February. Following another operation on Tuesday, the Pole has been visited by Renault Team Principal Eric Boullier.
Doctors have confirmed that the first recovery phase is now over, three months after the accident in Italy, thanks to both highly-attentive medical treatment and Kubica’s own strength. More small operations are planned to remove adhesive substances applied to his arm and elbow muscles, in place to limit movement.
“Robert has made another step forward in his rehabilitation process and doctors are pleasantly surprised by the way in which his condition is improving,” Boullier explained, having reported back to staff in Enstone.
“Now it’s a matter of time and, even if patience isn’t Robert’s first quality, he is fully aware that rehabilitation could be quite a long process.
“We spoke about the latest developments of the car and of the team and he was also interested to hear more on the details of the R31 – tyres and strategies. Robert is still very much involved, keeping in touch with his engineers, and we have been keeping him informed of every important decision the team has taken.
“He may not be with us all of the time this year, but he’s very much a part of the Lotus Renault GP family.”
