Doctors say the injured Formula One driver Robert Kubica could be walking around on crutches within weeks, as the Pole continues his recovery from a rally car crash in which he almost lost his arm.

Kubica, who drives for the Renault Formula One team, narrowly escaped having his right arm and hand amputated after he crashed at high speed while travelling to a rally in northern Italy.

He has been in hospital in Liguria, Italy since the incident.
