The 22-year-old Kubica lost control of his car as he tried to overtake Toyota's Jarno Trulli at 180mph as he approached the L'Epingle hairpin.
His car lifted off the ground, crashed into a wall, nose first and then somersaulted down the circuit before coming to a halt.
After initial reports of a broken leg, Kubica was later said to have suffered concussion and a sprained right ankle.
He was airlifted to hospital after being extracted form the wreckage of his car.
But team officials later said Kubica had "escaped relatively unscathed" and he is expected to be released from hospital on Monday.

"When you see another colleague have such a big crash and you are hit from the back, it's not a nice feeling," said Trulli.
"At that stage a lot of things were going on in my mind but I have since heard that he's fine."
