Lucky Kubica to leave hospital tomorrow
Robert Kubica has escaped injury in his Canadian Grand Prix crash today and will be released from hospital tomorrow, autosport.com has learned
The BMW Sauber driver made contact with Toyota's Jarno Trulli on the approach to the hairpin, his car taking off and hitting the concrete wall head-on.
After being airlifted to hospital in Montreal, and with speculations that the 22-year-old may have suffered a broken leg, the team received news that he has likely escaped without injury.
BMW chief Mario Theissen told autosport.com: "We have just got the information from the hospital that he is unhurt.
"He will stay in hospital overnight, but he will be released tomorrow morning."
Theissen said Kubica only lost conscious momentarily when the car came to a halt, following the impact, and the German described his driver's lucky escape as "unbelievable."
However, as for whether or not the Pole will race in next weekend's US Grand Prix, Theissen said it was too early to know.
"This decision will only be taken at Indianapolis," he said. "There will be a medical check, and we'll see then."
