News said that Robert has moved his fingers and has talked to his family, but docs have put him into a sleep to aid his recovery for another 24hrs. They had to fight for his life before they operated on him as he lost about 5/6 liters of blood and a lot of internal bleeding. In a few days they will operate on his fractured shoulder and elbow. Also there's something about his hip. He hit the armco at 150kph.
I hope everything goes well and a sucessful rehabilitation, he's a strong guy.
here's a video of him before he jumps in the car:

A Fabia on a stick.

Amazing he even got out alive, a few inches different and it would have been a very grim ending.

Wow, could have been skewered and dead! Very lucky to be alive but bad injuries, he may never be in F1 again. Should he have been rallying off-season from F1, did rallying inexperience come into it?

Nah, he has done rallying for quite a while now, it was just very unlucky and the poor quality of the barrier that collapsed. There was a camera in his car but police have it as well as his car, maybe they will release the footage soon.
