During the crash he suffered a serious leg and arm injuries which lead him to spend 10 weeks at the Santa Corona Hospital in Pietra Ligure for his treatment. However, He will go through the final surgery of his arm today in Genoa.
His manager said to one of the Italian newspaper the Gazzetta dello Sport that "Robert is progressing positively. The right leg is fine. If that was the problem, he would practically be ready. That's not our worry."
“The Italian GP is held in September, so it’s in just three months’ time, but we can think about the final race of the season.”
“In any case, when Robert gets in the simulator, he’ll immediately understand whether he’s able to come back, how and when, without the need of a stop-watch.”
Despite of his contract to race with Renault’ is firm till next year alongside Vitaly Petrov. Renault Team Principal Eric Boullier is not sure if he will be able to comeback this year or by next year. He also said that they are fully committed towards his recovery.
"We are now having discussions with his management to see how we can do it. But I would like to wait to see Robert's decision and then work out if we go to a different plan or not.
"I have been told he will be starting his full rehabilitation in August, which is late. But we have to make a decision around then." says Boullier.
