The Pole was yesterday conscious and stable in intensive care in the Santa Corona Hospital in northern Italy, but faces at least two further operations on additional fractures sustained to his arms and legs.

A statement on www.lotusrenaultgp.com read: "Today, Robert's general condition has once again improved.

Yesterday he was able to talk to his doctors and relatives. His medication makes him sleep quite a lot, but he is responding to all external stimulation. He has reacted well to the news about his condition and is ready to fight for his comeback."
