Robert Kubica has undergone a fourth operation in Italy on Saturday.

The intervention, conducted by Dr Luigi Celli and Dr Francesco Lanza, was meant to help the mobility of his injured elbow.

"Robert is getting better every day," Renault's team doctor Ricardo Ceccarelli said. "I see that he is recovering, psychologically and physically, very quickly.

"This is not a surprise for us because we know Robert very well. But it is a big surprise for the doctors of the Pietra Ligure hospital - so this is good news because they are satisfied how he is reacting to the surgery and all the injuries he had.

"We are quite happy for this strong reaction. This is the first positive thing in a traumatic situation."

Kubica's rehabilitation should resume in the coming days.
