Hope him the best but I'm very afraid about the risk of amputation.

Axis of Oversteer is reporting rumors of amputation as well. I hope that's not the case as - no matter what I hope he's able to recover and return to the cockpit someday.

Oh no! I hope the rumors aren't true and he makes it out of the hospital in one piece.

Wasn't Kubica involved in a horrific crash a few years in F1 also?

He was at the Canadian GP in 2007 - it was a nasty accident but he still only had relatively minor injuries considering the severity of the accident. I think only a broken foot or something along those lines.

YouTube - robert kubicas crash

Unfortunately, the BMW Sauber he was in at the time was much safer than the rally car he crashed in the last few hours.

He only fractured his ankle that time, iirc.

I really hope he is able to carry on with life as usual and drive at the top level again.

Did he make the rookie mistake of gripping the steering wheel as the car went off road?
