“I was diagnosꦅed with an ascending aortic aneurysm at the end of last year,” the 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix winner said in a social mediaജ video.
“It’s a piece of the ascending aorta that has dilated qu𒁃ite a lot. This is obviously the reason why I haven't been able to join in rallies or any other activities over the winter.🌼 Over the last few months, I have been going through, with a team of doctors, my options.
“We decided to have an operation. I was operated on last week at Tampere University Hos🍷pital, in the heart unit there. A wonderful team of doctors, nurses and assistants took ca♏re of me. It was open-heart surgery, so I have marks forever on my chest. But the surgery went well.
“We managed to do exactly what we set out to do. We cut out the diseased part of the ascending aorta and put an artificial graft in place. Everything went well. It was obviously a big operation. A couple of days after the operation I was ༺feeling a bit rough, but things have improved a lot since then.
“I'm actually back at home and already recovering. The outlook is quite good. There is an opportunity to make a full recovery and regain full fitness, but of course, only timeꦫ will tell how it all works out. So far, the estimation is pretty good, so I'm very pleased about it.
“In the meantime, I continue to recover and try to hopefully get out and little by little increase my activ﷽ities. The main thing is obviously that the chest bone has time to heal. And once all of this is done, if things go well, I hope to be able to return to my normal routines. I hope to see you out soon again.”
