The 26-year-old Pole told La Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday
he doesn't remember a thing about Sunday's incident, but he's intent on moving
ahead.
Kubica suffered severe injuries to the right side of his
body, particularly his right arm, after he apparently lost control and a
roadside barrier pierced his car. He underwent surgery on Sunday at Santa
Corona Hospital near Genoa and was undergoing more surgery on Friday.
Speaking from his hospital bed, Kubica said: “I want to get
back on the track stronger than before. Because after these types of accidents,
you're not the same, you improve.” He said that was the case after a 2007 crash
at the Canadian Grand Prix. “I was out for a competition and when I returned I
was better,” he said, adding that a driver is more than just someone who puts
his foot on the accelerator.
“Since 2007 I've been stronger as a driver, in my head.
And it will be the same this time, once I get back into form
physically.” He said his main concern was that he had made his mother suffer
with fear. His parents had come to Genoa to see him but returned to Poland.
Kubica's Lotus Renault team has said he was to undergo
further surgery on his elbow, shoulder and wrist Friday.
