Former Grand Prix driver Hans-Joachim Stuck has left hospital after recovering from head surgery.
The German, now Volkswagen's competition representative had a hematoma removed just over a week ago, caused by a heavy crash in an Audi R8 at the Nurburgring.
The 59-year-old was recovering in hospital in the German town Neuwied, but has now left the St. Elisabeth-Krankenhaus, according to the news agency SID.
"Finally I can check out -- man, I'm glad about that," he is quoted as saying, thanking the staff for their "excellent care".
Stuck, who raced in F1 for teams March, Brabham, Shadow and ATS, said he is returning home to rest, with his next race in the German endurance championship scheduled for September 25.
