Robert Kubica’s final elbow operation was completed without problems in Italy on Sunday, with doctors hailing the surgery as ‘a total success’. The Polish driver is still recovering from the effects of a violent rally crash back in February, but hopes are high that he can begin a full rehabilitation programme in the near future.
A statement issued by Lotus Renault GP reads:
'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.'
Vitaly Petrov and Bruno Senna are currently representing the Renault squad, with Kubica's ambitions still set on returning to the team if his condition allows it to happen.
