What a nightmare crash. Not clear if the Gaurd rail hitting his leg is what broke it, and his hand, or if it was the impact itself that caused the injuries.
Co-driver was OK, and said Kubica's head hit the steering wheel. The rail must have pushed it back into his face, because the belts would have kept him in place??

The belt keeps the torso in place, and the head is supposed to be restrained by the HANS device if he was wearing one.

He will have a very bad year now with all this injuries to recover, but I don't doubt he will be back, and that's the only important thing.

Kubica gets set to head for home
Robert Kubica prepares to leave hospital and head for home to continue his recovery from the injuries he picked up in a rally accident in February
Bookmark with
Following reports suggesting he could be discharged from hospital by the weekend, Robert Kubica has now revealed that he is hoping to be able to head home within the next ten days.
The Renault driver has been in the Santa Corona hospital in Italy since the rally crash back in February that left him with multiple injuries after an armco barrier penetrated the cockpit of his Skoda Fabia S2000.
The Pole has undergone numerous operations since the accident, with his rehabilitation set to continue at his home in Monaco and at a specialist facility back in Italy.
"I am starting to feel a lot better now," he said. "My recovery is moving in the right direction: my strength and weight are increasing day on day and as a result I will leave the Santa Corona hospital very soon. I don't have a precise date as yet but I hope to be able to leave within the next ten days.
"As soon as I leave hospital, I'll head to my home in Monaco for a short period of rest. Then I'll move to Dr. Ceccarelli 's facilities in Italy where I will start a deep rehabilitation program and a preliminary soft training programme. The two programmes will gradually cross over based on the speed of my recovery."
Kubica added that he still only had limited use of the hand injured in the accident, although such limited mobility was normal this stage of his recovery.
"The mobility of my hand is limited but this is pretty normal in this kind of situation, because the connected arm muscles are still very weak due to the long period of immobility," he said. "Things are definitely improving day by day."
In Kubica's absence, Renault has taken two podium finishes thanks to Vitaly Petrov and Nick Heidfeld - the latter having been signed to replace Kubica until he returns - and the Pole said he was being kept informed on what has been happening in his absence.
"I've been liaising with my engineers on what's been going on over race weekends," he said. "They are sending me the race reports so I can remain up to date and fully informed, as if I were there at the tracks. Eric Boullier is also in constant contact, keeping up to date with my general condition.
"There is no doubt that it's been a strong start to the season. The potential of the car, which I already noticed in the February Valencia test, seems to be confirmed. As usual, it's now important that the development done in Enstone continues to produce consistent updates for maintaining this level of performance. The guys did a great job with this car and I'm sure they'll continue to improve.

fingers crossed it would be awsome to see him up there in the mix battling for championships
However the injuries was very different (Hakkinen and Kubica).

Great news, It's never good to see drivers be injured, will be great to Robert back in the seat and hunting for wins.
There is I guess a tiny good come from it in that it's good to see Heidfeld showing he still can hold his own. Lets home Mercedes will punt Schumi to the retirement village next season, Heidfeld to Mercedes. Kubica back with Renault where he belongs.

Yes hope 2 see Kubica back next season as he is a great driver but Schumi will be racing for Mercedes next year as it was a 3 year contract he signed

Driving til the wheels fall off
Apparently there's rumours circulating that Ferrari have approaced Kubica's management team, saying that there's a seat waiting for him in 2013 if he wants it.
My question is, why?
Why would Ferrari take that risk without seeing Kubica back in action? There's no guarantee that he's going to be anywhere near as good as he was in 2010.
Surely this is a conversation that should be had towards the end of the 2012 season?
