Robert Józef Kubica (born 7 December 1984 in Kraków, Poland) is Polish racing driver who currently serves as the Reserve Driver for Alfa Romeo. Having made his début in 2006, Kubica has driven for BMW Sauber, Renault and Williams in a career that was interrupted by a serious rallying accident in 2011. He is the only Polish driver to have competed in Formula One, and he has won one race, the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix.

During the off-season in early 2011, Kubica suffered a serious injury as a result of a rally crash which almost cost him his life. While he survived the wreck, he was left with limited use of his right arm. While Kubica had not ruled out a return to F1, the prospect of doing so following such serious injuries seemed doubtful. However, on 6 June 2017, he drove the Lotus E20 at a test run by Renault at Circuit Ricardo Tormo,[1] and went fourth fastest in the Renault R.S.17 at the 2017 Budapest test.[2][3] He then completed a few more tests for Williams, including at the post-season tyre test,[4] and then became the team's reserve driver for 2018.[5] He was a full-time driver for the Williams team in 2019.[6]

As part of the Polish driver's recuperation, Kubica has competed in a number of minor rallying competitions, including victory in the Ronde Gomitolo Di Lana in Italy.

Formula One Career[]

2006-2009: BMW Sauber[]

Kubica started in 2006. However, a crash in 2007 nearly took his life. He made contact with Jarno Trulli, and broke off half of his front wing. He got airborne after he went over a crossover, he made contact with a concrete wall, bend both wheels, and turned his car a bit. He collided with a wall at 167 MPH leading to a 72G impact, it even did damage to the concrete walls he hit. His car flipped, and finally stopped. He suffered a “slight” concussion, sprained ankle, but worst of all, a partially severed arm. He got into another huge crash after, he kept driving however, and got 1 pole, 1 win, and 12 podiums, with 1 fastest lap.

2010-2011: Renault[]

2013: Mercedes test driver[]

Kubica drove Mercedes's Formula One simulator.
