Robert Kubica was injured this morning at a Rally event on his
drive up to strat.
[quote=BBC Sport]Formula 1 star Robert Kubica has suffered
fractures to his left arm and left leg after a high-speed rally
crash in Italy, BBC Sport understands.
The 26-year-old Pole crashed into a church wall and was
air-lifted to a hospital near Genoa.[/quote]

After Webber's injury last year mountain biking in pre-season,
it must be getting close to Formula 1 teams making their drivers
spend the time off doing less dangerous stuff.
Kubica runs the risk of missing start of new season now, which
will be a shame.

Rallying before the start of a F1 season is a tad stupid really.
It's a dangerous sport, lot more so than mountain biking anyway.

I don't understand why they let them do it. I know they're
adrenaline junkies and need the thrill, but surely they can find
something else to do!
They was thought earlier that he may have to have his hand
amputated, but this as since been said to be avoidable,
hopefully. He is however in surgery until later tonight, but
they can't say how functioning his hand will be after.
So, sadly, this could end not only his F1 career, but all
motorsports.
I really hope he makes a full recovery, was looking forward to
seeing a good future from him.

So it's now reported that it could take up to a year to gain
full function in his right hand that they operated on, after
being partially severed.
Really hope he does make a full recovery, and preferably quicker
than stated.

Looking at the railing, Kubica could have been in a much worse
state!
