Poland's Robert Kubica emerged from a Montreal hospital on Monday to say he had recovered from minor injuries sustained in a horrific crash in Sunday's Canadian Formula One Grand Prix and hoped to race next weekend in Indianapolis.

"As you see I'm quite in good shape and I'm hoping (to be) going to Indianapolis if the doctors will say OK for my driving," Kubica told reporters outside Montreal's Sacre-Coeur Hospital.

"I feel very good. I was very lucky -- big accident, but fortunately, nothing hurt," he added after walking gingerly down the steps of the hospital.

Kubica said he remembered "nearly everything" about the crash.

The accident occurred when the 22-year-old BMW Sauber driver's car made contact with the rear wheels of Jarno Trulli's Toyota on the approach to the hairpin on lap 27 on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit and his car took off, flying through the air and slamming into a concrete wall before barrel-rolling across the track.

The crash shattered Kubica's car to the extent that his feet could be seen through the sheared off front end of the vehicle.
