Robert Kubica was back in hospital today after reportedly breaking his leg when he fell in an icy street in Italy.

He is believed to have suffered a fractured tibia of his right leg, which was injured in his horrific rally crash on February 6 last year.

He is being treated by the medical team who looked after him last time in Pietra Ligure.

Although clearly a setback for his recovery hopes reports say that the injury is not as serious as it might first appear, so the delay might not be too long.
