    Long recovery for Kubica...

    The Renault team's doctor says injured driver Robert Kubica's recovery will take a "long time" following the injuries he sustained in a rally crash.

    It's no surprise. Hope to see him back in 2012, but not before!

    Hardly a surprise when you think about what happened.
    It will be a small miracle if he ever gets to competitively drive a F1 car.

    Kubica suffered a partially severed right hand
    This is something you don’t just get over. I would not be surprised if the hand requires further surgery, hopefully not. I have very little doubt that he is optimistically shooting for the 2012.
    May the forza be with you

    Agree 100% - I said so shortly after his injuries were known, fingers are more important in F1 cars than ever before.

    I wish him well and a full recovery

    I know there was talk of a return this year, but he will do well to aim for 2012 and see how his progress goes.

    It's looking like his F1 career may sadly be over and if he can fully recover to have full mobility it would be an amazing result.

    However, even if he heals fully, would he be capable of driving a F1 car to the highest level he did before.

    Good luck to him.

    Maybe but he's a determined guy and that can aid recovery - he has an aim, to get back into an F1 car. I hope to see him back in 2012

    At least he is still alive, that is the main thing. A year off wont be the end of the world for him. He may get pretty bored though!!!

    Isn't there a contradiction in there, or by fully you don't mean fully?
