First of all, thank God he got out of that with a broken leg. Incredible.
The crash was bad enough in real time, but in viewing the replay it's even worse: the front end bounced in the air over the grass, and Lord only knows what was going through his mind with no way to control the car before the impact. Like I said, thank God he's still with us, and the marshals and medical crews did such a fantastic job.
No broken legs according to pitpass - he's to be released tomorrow:

This was a nasty accident. Hopefully this won't affect his driving in the future negatively. It's still quite unclear, how severe the injury is and several sources say different things, but it seems quite likely that Vettel will replace Kubica at least at Indy.
I'll be raising a glass to Robert tonight :up:
He's a good character, and a fantastic talent, and I'm gutted that I probably won't get to see him in the flesh at Silverstone.

If the stories of him not having a broken leg are true though that is great news :)
That's superb news. Autosport.com are now saying he has escaped injury, and will be released from hospital tomorrow. BMW say they will make a decision at Indy as to whether Kubica will race there, though I still would be amazed if does given the severity of the accident.
Horrendous crash... it was a real relief to hear that he only had a broken leg. If it's true that he hasn't even suffered that, that's amazing.
Get well soon Robert.
I was staggered that he'd only broken a leg, but now it seems he's broken nothing at all! A miracle. He'll probably be a bit sore for a while though. I remember Dan Wheldon saying that the morning after a huge shunt, you can feel your organs slowly shifting back to their original positions. Ouch!Quote:

I don't know what to say. What it happened tears came to my eyes. But now when i'm reading he's ok, and will be released tommorow without any injury.... It's unbelievable.
That was most horrible crash i have ever seen in F1. I'm glad RK is ok!
Thanks to FIA and BMW Robert will be back soon!
