Wednesday’s lengthy but successful procedure was to repair the complex fracture to Kubica’s elbow and he is now set to be transferred to the hospital’s rehabilitation department to continue his recuperation.

Kubica is expected to miss much of the 2011 Formula One season after his accident in the Ronde di Andora Rally earlier this month. His place at Renault is being taken by his former team mate at BMW Sauber, Nick Heidfeld.
