Riccardo Ceccarelli Lotus Renault’s doctor has revealed today in Barcelona that Robert Kubica’s condition is improving every day. The Italian doctor referred that everyone at the Pietra Ligure Hospital is surprised with the Pole’s quick recovery, but that there is still no plan for him to leave the hospital.
According to Ceccarelli, Kubica is getting better day by day and improving in every aspect, including the pain, the movement, the scars. The team has opted to let him at the Pietra Ligure Hospital because of their highly skilled physiotherapists for his kind of injuries, and thinks that for the moment the best solution is for him to stay there.
Asked about whether Kubica would need more surgery Ceccarelli answered “It’s impossible to say in the long term. For the moment the answer is ‘no’ because everything is going very well and we are very pleased with what the doctors have done for him. There have been no complications or reasons for further surgery.”
At the moment Robert Kubica is making a lot of physiotherapy in order to help him recover as quickly as possible. His simple routine includes exercises in bed or in a chair.
“The main injury was to his right arm and hand, but he is moving his wrist and fingers, which is positive,” said Ceccarelli.
Psychologically, the doctor says that the Pole is very positive and having a good reaction after an initial sadness. Ceccarelli says that “his focus is to put all his effort into his recovery and getting back to normal. The enormous support from the fans and the F1 community is also very important for Robert. Lots of people have come to visit him and this has been very useful for his recovery.”
About a possible return to racing the doctor is clear by saying that nobody knows.
“Even the surgeons don’t know because they say we need some months to see the recovery of the muscle tissue and the nerves, which varies from person to person. All we know that it will be a long recovery, but we have no idea how long. We see his progress day by day, but we can’t make any predictions,” said Ceccarelli.
