Morelli: “Robert has a strong temperament”

Eric Boullier told AFP how much he and the entire Lotus team renault GP was shocked by this accident, saying: “His hand is damaged. But a priori it is not irrecoverable. He's someone we love very much. It's extremely sad. » The Frenchman subsequently confirmed that there was now little chance that the Pole would start the opening round of the 2011 season in Bahrain on March 13.

As for Daniele Morelli, Kubica's manager, he wanted to be optimistic at 17 p.m., while his driver was undergoing surgery.

“Surgeons are seeking to restore functionality to his right hand, did he declare. They've already revascularized it and reduced the fractures and now they have to think about muscle function. Robert has a strong temperament and he will be fine. »

We can only hope that the next news, which should arrive soon, will be as reassuring.
