MONTREAL, June 10 (Reuters) - Poland's Robert Kubica was reported to be conscious and stable after suffering a huge crash in Sunday's Canadian Formula One Grand Prix.
The BMW Sauber driver was taken to the circuit medical centre and then on to a hospital in Montreal after being extracted from the wreckage of his shattered car.
The Pole's manager Daniele Morelli said Kubica was conscious and in good spirits.
"I talked to him...my impression is that he's fine. He was giving indications to the doctors about his general state," he told Britain's ITV television. "I saw him well. He talked to me almost normally, so that's a good sign."
Kubica, 22, made contact with a Toyota on the approach to the hairpin on lap 27 and his car took off, flying through the air and slamming into a concrete wall at high speed before barrel-rolling across the track.
The shattered car, with three wheels ripped off, then skidded to a halt on its side. The safety car was deployed as track doctors attended to the driver.
