Lotus Renault team boss Eric Boullier said the Polish Formula One driver is "ahead of schedule" with his recovery from horror rally injuries, the Santa Corona hospital concurred that Kubica's condition "continues to improve" and doctors at his Italian hospital said on Friday that he will be back on his feet in a few weeks.

"He is ahead of schedule on all the forecasts, whether to do with rehabilitation or recovery."

Boullier added: "He is proving an example to the hospital. The doctors are supporting him. He is extremely motivated, he has the morale, even if it's not rosy every day overall he is maintaining exceptional spirits."

26 year old Kubica recently had further surgery to his elbow to restore functionality, and the hospital said rehabilitation to his hand, shoulder and lower limb is also continuing.

"There will now be another period of waiting while the multiple fractures heal," Italian media reports quoted from an official medical bulletin.

"We are thinking in terms of starting him walking, weight bearing on both legs, in roughly three weeks," the bulletin added.
