Schumacher was out for 98 days (14 weeks) with his simple broken leg in 1999. That was 6 races.

We know Kubica's injuries are more severe with many more breaks per limbs, and more limbs. He needed intensive care and an induced coma, so expect much longer.

Looks like surgery over the weekend has caused Robert to take a step backwards. He is apparently back in ICU:

It was also nice to see the Top Gear chaps wishing Robert well last night.

Yes, Top Gear managed to go a whole hour without offending a nation or being racist. They must have been unwell! :lol:

Doctors are denying that his condition has gotten worse it seems:

Hopefully he is on the mend.

Can't have your cake and eat it. You wanted a wild risky driver and so you get the down time associated with the risks.

He's out for the year, maybe a few promotional drives here and there to retrain and anneal the muscle.

He's only similar to Wolverine in so far as wearing a black and yellow suit and some metal on the arm bones; He doesn't have the enhanced healing powers.

Old teammate and nemesis Heidfeld has swooped down like a vulture and is now perched on the throne. He will now savor the fruits of Kubica's labour and probably seize a few wins out of the R31.
"the first news was that I saw on the internet that Robert had an accident in Italy last Sunday,” the German is quoted as saying by the official F1 website. “First the talk was that he had injured his leg. The first thought of course was that I hoped that it is not too bad. The second thought then was probably I could step in for him.

“I was locked into the internet to find out what was going on and the real unhappy aspect was that if it is worse for him it could be better for me - that’s a very oppressive feeling. You don’t want anything bad for someone. On the other hand, it can mean a real chance for yourself.
This somewhat comes of as cannibalistic behavior in the world of F1 drivers. Heidfeld's gonna want Kubica to take as much time as he needs to recover. :mrgreen:
For Sure!!

I think thats normal after a long operation. There are reports from the doctors beforehand saying he will go back into ICU after the op.

This was initially announced by TVN24, a polish news network. Apparently, it was just a huge misinterpretation of a certain person's statement. In the wake of their "sensational publication", TVN24's crew was asked by the doctors to leave the hospital on the account of spreading false information.

Surely, you can't be serious.

01.08.1976 Niki Lauda was suffering almost deadly injuries in his famous Nurburgring fire accident affecting his respiration system and the doctors said on the day that only after 10 to 14 days one could say if Lauda was going to survive.yet he was in the car 42days later to bag P4 in Monza.
Kubica seems to be one determined guy.

These days nobody in the right mind would allow him back in... NEAR a car in similar condition!

Lauda had to pass a fitness check before Ferrari even let him near the car ! They feared to lose the title battle with him sitting in the car but were ok losing with him in hospital.

Well, he is very religious unless I'm mistaken. I'm not sure about current helmet, but the one he wore when he crashed in Canada, had written name of pope John Paul II (Jan Pawel II)

Another one from 2009
