Robert Kubica’s condition continues to improve, say his doctors, contrary to recent reports which suggest otherwise.
The Renault driver was involved in a rallying accident last week and has been in hospital since. He has so far undergone two operations which have both lasted several hours each.
Reports on Monday suggested his condition had deteriorated, but medical staff have confirmed this isn’t true. In fact, his recovery is going better than expected which has allowed for his final operation, to repair his elbow, to go ahead on Wednesday.
“Robert Kubica’s general conditions are good,” said his doctor. “Kubica will remain in intensive care for two more days in order to undergo a complete check up and to avoid another ward change before the final operation.
“The clinical picture is so satisfying that it allows for programming of the final surgery for Wednesday.”
The Renault team added: “The latest update on Robert is that his condition remains positive. He will stay in intensive care for the next couple of days to allow a complete check-up and to avoid another change of department before his final operation. “
