Robert Kubica was back in hospital today after reportedly breaking his leg when he fell in an icy street in Italy.
He is believed to have suffered a fractured tibia of his right leg, which was injured in his horrific rally crash on February 6 last year.
He is being treated by the medical team who looked after him last time around in Pietra Ligure.
Although clearly a setback for his recovery hopes reports say that the injury is not as serious as it might first appear, so the delay might not be too long.

Sorry to hear this about Robert.He will overcome this also.He’s an inspiration.
Ouch! That hurts! It was disappointing to have a full season of no RK last year but I fear we’ll have Kubica-less 2012 and there’s a big doubt whether we’ll, in fact, ever see him again in an F1 car. How can things go so horribly wrong for a potential champion… Absolutely gutted, shattered, lost for words.
Awful, simply awful. This would be quite a setback for anyone who has had to come as far as Robert has from his injuries. Even if it isn’t so bad physcially it must certainly be a bitter pill emotionally and mentally.
The BBC says he will need a screw/pin and will be in cast for a month.
