Robert Kubica is opening to get sensitivity back in his hurt hand, and is in good spirits considering the ordeal he has been through, according to one of the surgeons treating the Pole.
Hand specialist Dr Igor Rossello said he was happy with how Kubica, who has left rigorous care and started to begin the rehabilitation process, is progressing.
"He's no longer in pain and his psychological condition is pretty good," said Dr Rossello.
"He is doing pretty well and his situation is positive considering what he has been through."
Dr Rossello explained that the rehabilitation procedure was still at a very early stage.
"He can move his fingers somewhat and has a little bit of compassion already in his hand," he said.
"What is very significant is that there is no sign of infectivity, which is the main concern.
"He is now in his own large room so that he is as contented as possible.
"He has already started some mild hand exercises with the slight flexing of his fingers."
Kubica suffered a incomplete amputation of his right hand plus fractures to his right leg and arm in a awful rally crash in Italy earlier this month.
He may have to miss the entire 2011 season, and has been replaced at Renault by Nick Heidfeld for the period of recovery.
