Great to see so much positive response. A nation of formula one fans are with you Robert, wishing you the best.

You misspelled “world.”

I have to say I am very impressed. Normally f1 teams are characterised as cold political monsters but this proves that formula 1 is as much about the people – the drivers, the mechanics and the fans – as it is about business.
Get Well Soon Robert from everyone in f1.

I agree. Just shows how well Kubica is regarded by everyone in the pit lane.

Great spirit from all the teams and i’m sure Robert is over the moon with all this support.

I’d have thought only Renault would have done so, I am pleased with everyone.
Szybkiego powrotu do zdrowia Robert

This is definitely one of the best things F1 has done for a long time (Massa’s crash didn’t get as much support on the cars) in terms of supporting a driver’s recovery :-) Love it.

It’s great to see this kind of solidarity from so many teams.
Here’s hoping you get back soon, Robby! Miss you already :C

I’ve added it to the header on my company’s web page.

Its great to see the other teams support him. Maybe they should leave those messages on the cars for the first race as well as testing?

Nice job, nice work, nice template

Such a nice thing to see. The other day I saw people all over the world who are fans of many different drivers & team here in F1F & in twitter really supporting Kubica & praying for him.Now the whole of F1 team is supporting him. I think one reason why this sport is called F1 is the fact when it matters all the people connected to it get together & becomes ONE.

Lotus Renault driver Robert Kubica has been moved from intensive care to a trauma ward as he continues his recovery.On Friday he will undergo a double surgery in his foot and shoulder.Then next week we expect to perform the last operation on the patient.
