Robert Józef Kubica (born 7 December 1984) is a professional Polish racing and rally driver currently competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with AF Corse. His career includes participation in Formula One from to , alongside competing in the World Rally Championship between and . Kubica remains the only Polish driver to have won a Formula One Grand Prix, triumphing at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix for BMW Sauber. In endurance racing, he claimed victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in with AF Corse and secured the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 title driving for WRT.
Kubica’s Formula One journey began at BMW Sauber (2006–2009), where he progressed from a test driver role to a race seat in 2006. His singular F1 victory occurred at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, marking Sauber’s only win, and he finished fourth overall in the championship that year. He later drove for Renault in , with plans to continue into 2011. Kubica had agreed to join Ferrari for the 2012 season; however, this contract was annulled following a severe rally accident in early 2011.
On 6 February 2011, Kubica endured critical injuries during a rally crash, including partial amputation of his forearm and multiple bone fractures. Despite these setbacks, he remained resolute about returning to Formula One. Initially deeming an F1 comeback "nearly impossible," he eventually took part in testing sessions with Renault and Williams, keeping his hopes alive.
Kubica made his return to competitive racing in September 2012 by winning a local rally event in Italy. That year, Top Gear magazine recognized him as one of "The Men of the Year 2012" for his remarkable recovery. In 2013, he raced for Citroën in both the European Rally Championship and WRC2, capturing the inaugural WRC-2 championship before advancing full-time to the WRC in 2014 with M-Sport’s Ford Fiesta RS WRC.
In January 2018, Kubica was appointed as Williams’ reserve driver for the season and was confirmed as a race driver for Williams in 2019. After departing Williams at the end of that year, he shifted his focus to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, while also serving as reserve and test driver for Alfa Romeo. He took part in multiple practice sessions and substituted for Kimi Räikkönen during the 2021 Dutch and Italian Grands Prix.
Karting
Kubica’s enthusiasm for automobiles started at age four when he drove a small off-road vehicle. His father later acquired a go-kart for him, allowing Kubica to compete in the Polish Karting Championship by age ten, where he secured six titles over three years. Pursuing tougher competition, he relocated to Italy and became the first non-Italian to win the International Italian Junior Karting Championship in 1998.
He also achieved second place in the European Junior Karting Championship and won the Junior Monaco Kart Cup held on the Formula One Monaco circuit. The following year, Kubica successfully defended his Italian title, competed in the International German Karting Championship, and repeated his victory at the Monaco Kart Cup along with triumphs at both the Margutti Trophy and Elf Masters events. In his final karting year of 2000, Kubica finished fourth in both European and World Championships.
2000–2002: Formula Renault 2.0
Kubica launched his professional motorsport career in 2000 as a test driver for a Formula Renault 2000 car and became part of Renault’s driver development programme. By 2002, he had won four races and secured second place overall in the Italian Formula Renault 2000 championship while ranking seventh in the Eurocup series. Additionally, he dominated a standalone Brazilian Formula Renault race at Interlagos with a commanding victory.
2003–2004: Formula Three
Following recovery from a road accident that resulted in a broken arm stabilized with titanium screws, Kubica moved into the Formula 3 Euro Series. Despite the delayed start to his debut, he won his first race at Norisring. He ended his initial season in 12th place and advanced to seventh in his sophomore year competing with the factory Mercedes squad. In 2004, Kubica achieved pole position and set a new lap record at the Macau F3 Grand Prix but ultimately finished as the runner-up.
2005: Formula Renault 3.5
Kubica claimed the World Series by Renault championship in 2005 driving for Epsilon Euskadi, which led to opportunities to test Formula One cars with Renault.
Test driver
Although Kubica was scheduled to drive Minardi’s third car during Friday practice sessions at either the 2005 Japanese or Chinese Grand Prix, he did not hold the necessary FIA Super License. He completed a one-time test for Renault in December 2005 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
2006–2007: First Polish F1 driver and injury
In 2006, Kubica served as BMW Sauber’s official reserve driver. His impressive testing results combined with support from team principal Mario Theissen sparked speculation about him becoming Poland’s inaugural Formula One driver in 2007. When teammate Jacques Villeneuve was ruled unfit to race due to headaches in August 2006, Kubica took his place at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Qualifying ninth—ahead of Nick Heidfeld—he was later disqualified post-race because his car was underweight. Villeneuve’s subsequent departure from BMW Sauber confirmed Kubica’s seat for the remainder of that season.
Kubica encountered difficulties at the Turkish Grand Prix due to an unfavorable tire selection, finishing 12th. However, at the Italian Grand Prix, he secured third place, marking him as the first Polish driver to reach a Formula One podium and to lead a Grand Prix. This achievement made him the first driver since Alexander Wurz in 1997 to podium within his initial three F1 starts.
At the Chinese Grand Prix, an early pit stop error involving tire changes on a drying track cost Kubica valuable points, resulting in a 13th-place finish.
Throughout 2007, Kubica consistently earned points. During the Canadian Grand Prix, he endured a serious accident approaching a hairpin after contact with Jarno Trulli’s Toyota. The car crashed into barriers at approximately 300 km/h with a peak deceleration of 75 G. Although conscious and stable afterward, initial reports suggested a possible broken leg. Team principal Theissen later clarified that Kubica had only sustained a mild concussion and a sprained ankle. He missed the United States Grand Prix as a precautionary measure and was replaced by test driver Sebastian Vettel. Returning for the French Grand Prix, Kubica qualified and finished fourth, earning ITV commentator Martin Brundle’s Driver of the Day accolade; he repeated this fourth-place finish at the British Grand Prix.
2008: Maiden win
On 21 August 2007, Kubica was officially confirmed as BMW Sauber’s race driver for . In the opening half of that season, he achieved both his and BMW Sauber’s first pole position at the Grand Prix and secured second-place finishes in Malaysia and Monaco.
Kubica claimed his inaugural Formula One victory on 8 June 2008 at the . Starting from second on the grid, he overtook leader Lewis Hamilton during the opening pit stop phase thanks to a quicker BMW Sauber pit crew service. At pit exit, Hamilton collided with Kimi Räikkönen’s Ferrari after failing to stop at a red light, which eliminated both drivers from contention. Kubica maintained his lead over teammate Heidfeld despite different pit strategies, delivering a one-two finish for BMW Sauber. This triumph propelled him into first place in the Drivers' Championship standings.
Performance for BMW Sauber declined during the latter portion of the season. Kubica finished fifth in France, attributing this result to aerodynamic challenges. His best late-season outcome was second place in Japan, where he led for 16 laps before being overtaken by Fernando Alonso. Additional podium finishes included Valencia and the rain-impacted Monza race. Kubica ended the year ranked fourth in the Drivers' Championship.
2009: Exit from BMW Sauber
At the opening round of the season in Melbourne, Kubica secured fourth on the grid and was running in third position, closing in on the frontrunners before colliding with Sebastian Vettel during an overtaking attempt. Although Kubica managed to continue briefly, he ultimately crashed due to damage sustained to his front wing. As a consequence, Vettel received a ten-place grid penalty for the following race in Malaysia. BMW’s motorsport director, Mario Theissen, expressed that Kubica would likely have taken victory if the incident had not occurred.
During the , Kubica qualified in eighth place but was promoted to sixth after penalties were applied to Vettel and Rubens Barrichello for gearbox infractions; however, his race ended prematurely due to engine failure. The subsequent and rounds saw both Kubica and teammate Nick Heidfeld finish outside the points, hindered by an uncompetitive car.
A revamped F1.09 was introduced by BMW Sauber at the 2009 Spanish Grand Prix, which enhanced their competitiveness. Nevertheless, a tyre fitting error restricted Kubica to 10th in qualifying, and a poor start caused by clutch problems resulted in a finish outside the points. In Monaco, Kubica retired following brake issues that arose after an engine failure during practice. The team then implemented a double diffuser at the , which improved performance and allowed Kubica to earn his first points of the campaign with a seventh-place finish. Despite several races without points, BMW Sauber demonstrated strong form at the 2009 European Grand Prix and 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, where Kubica finished eighth and fourth respectively. Mechanical difficulties plagued him again in Italy and Singapore; however, he managed an eighth-place finish in Singapore, calling it "the most difficult point I have ever scored." At the , Kubica achieved his inaugural podium of the season by finishing second despite facing engine temperature issues—marking BMW’s second podium finish that year.
On 29 July 2009, BMW announced its withdrawal from Formula One at the conclusion of the season, rendering Kubica a free agent for .<ref>For the 2010 season, Kubica signed with Renault F1, a team he had previously tested with during his junior career.<ref>
2010: Debut year with Renault
Kubica joined Renault for amid considerable uncertainty stemming from the "Crashgate" controversy and financial difficulties within the team. This situation led to Luxembourg-based Genii Capital acquiring a 75% ownership stake while Renault retained 25%. Eric Boullier took over as team principal. Initially, Kubica considered departing if Renault lost majority control but eventually decided to remain. On 31 January 2010, Vitaly Petrov was confirmed as his teammate.
There were reports that Ferrari’s Felipe Massa had until the 2010 British Grand Prix to secure his seat; if not, Kubica was poised to replace him in . However, Ferrari opted to renew Massa’s contract, leaving Kubica without an opportunity at Ferrari.
On 7 July 2010, Kubica extended his contract with Renault through the end of 2012.
Kubica’s season commenced with a spin in Bahrain but he recovered to finish 11th. He then claimed second place in Australia after starting ninth on the grid, followed by fourth in Malaysia and fifth in China, positioning him seventh in the Drivers' Championship standings—20 points behind leader Jenson Button. Throughout the season, he earned podium finishes in Monaco and Belgium along with consistent points-scoring results including fifth place in Valencia and seventh in Germany.
In Canada, despite challenges from tyre wear, Kubica recorded his first career fastest lap. In Singapore, after suffering a puncture that necessitated an unscheduled pit stop from sixth position, he fought back through strategic overtakes to finish seventh. At Suzuka, he qualified third and briefly led early on before retiring during a safety car period due to rear tyre failure.
Formula One analyst Mark Hughes described Kubica as "arguably the best driver" of the season based on his strong showings at technically demanding tracks such as Monaco, Spa, and Suzuka. Kubica consistently secured podium finishes behind dominant Red Bull drivers except at Suzuka where he demonstrated impressive pace despite retiring.
2011: Season halted by critical rally crash
For the 2011 season, Kubica continued with Renault, which had been renamed Lotus Renault GP following sponsorship from Lotus Cars, once again alongside teammate Petrov. On 2 February, he completed testing of the new Renault R31 in Valencia, recording the quickest time on the final day. However, just three days later, Kubica was involved in a severe rally accident in Andorra.
Due to his inability to participate at the start of the season, Lotus Renault appointed former teammate Nick Heidfeld as Kubica’s substitute on 16 February, although Kubica remained under contract for that year. Subsequently, Bruno Senna took over from Heidfeld at the Grand Prix. Kubica was released from hospital and began his rehabilitation on 24 April.
By November 2011, it was confirmed that Kubica would miss the opening races of the season, prompting Lotus to begin with drivers Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean. In a 2018 interview, Kubica disclosed that he had signed a contract with Ferrari for the 2012 season.
2011 rally accident details
On 6 February 2011, during the initial stage of the Ronde di Andora rally, Kubica sustained grave injuries. While piloting a Super 2000-class Škoda Fabia near Testico, his vehicle veered off at high velocity and collided with a crash barrier close to San Sebastiano church. Trapped inside for over an hour, rescue crews eventually freed him. He was airlifted to Santa Corona Hospital in Pietra Ligure, where medical staff diagnosed multiple serious injuries including a partial forearm amputation, compound fractures affecting his right elbow, shoulder, and leg, along with significant blood loss.
The barrier penetrated the cockpit area causing Kubica’s injuries; notably, his co-driver escaped unharmed. Kubica underwent a lengthy seven-hour surgery involving two teams without complications, followed by further operations to mend fractures in his limbs and shoulder. The uncertain prognosis for his hand forced him to miss the entire 2011 racing calendar.
Rallying
Kubica's recovery encountered a setback in January 2012 when he re-fractured his right leg after slipping on ice near his residence in Italy. He remained absent from competitive racing through most of that year but made a victorious return at the Ronde Gomitolo Di Lana rally in September, winning by a margin of one minute driving a WRC car.
2013–2016: World Rally Championship participation
In 2013, Kubica concentrated on rallying with Citroën across both European and WRC2 Championships. His debut at Rally de Portugal was promising but concluded with a sixth-place finish due to an accident and mechanical problems. He secured wins at the Acropolis Rally by nearly one and a half minutes and at Rally d'Italia Sardegna by four minutes. At Rally Finland, he achieved second place before triumphing at Rallye Deutschland to lead the WRC2 standings. After briefly losing this lead, he reclaimed it at Rallye de France-Alsace and sealed his fifth victory at Rally RACC Catalunya, thereby clinching the WRC2 title. Simulator sessions with Mercedes F1 indicated potential; however, limitations from his injured arm hindered competition in tight-cockpit tracks such as Monaco.
In 2014, Kubica captured victory at the Internationale Jänner Rallye, earning the "Ice Master" award for outstanding snow driving performance. Competing in WRC's premier class with RK M-Sport and sponsorship from Polish oil firm Lotos, he led early during Monte Carlo but retired following a crash on SS9. Despite moments of speed throughout the season, his highest finish was sixth place at Rally Argentina. He concluded the year ranked sixteenth with fourteen points and won the non-championship Monza Rally Show, outperforming Valentino Rossi.
Continuing into 2015’s WRC campaign behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta RS WRC supported by Lotos but no longer prepared by M-Sport, Kubica faced funding challenges that restricted him to only participating in the Monte Carlo rally during 2016.
2016–2017: GT3 Participation
In March 2016, Kubica took part in the Mugello 12 Hours, a segment of Creventic's International Endurance Series, piloting a GT3-class Mercedes. Later that year in September, he competed in the Renault Sport Trophy event held at Spa, Belgium.
In January 2017, Kubica raced in the Dubai 24 Hour, the opening round of the 24H Series, driving a Förch Racing Porsche 911 GT3 within the A6-Pro category. His teammates included Robert Lukas, Marcin Jedliński, Wolf Henzler, and Santiago Creel. Unfortunately, the event was cut short due to mechanical failures.
2017: LMP1 Debut
On 2 February 2017, Kubica became part of the ByKolles privateer LMP1 squad competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship. He had previously tested their Nissan-powered CLM P1/01 during the 2016 WEC rookie evaluation at Bahrain, where he logged lap times quicker than the team's regular drivers. Oliver Webb stayed on with ByKolles, while a third driver spot remained open. Although pre-season testing took place at Monza without Kubica participating, he later announced via social media that he would not be racing in that season.
Formula E
On 2 May 2017, Kubica conducted a test session in a Formula E machine at Donington Park with aspirations to race in the New York ePrix; however, this opportunity did not come to fruition.
2017: Testing Without Contract
On 5 June 2017, Kubica drove Renault’s 2012 Lotus E20 at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, marking his first involvement in a Formula One event since his accident in 2011.
Renault organized an additional test session where managing director Cyril Abiteboul praised Kubica’s speed, consistency, and motivation. Abiteboul indicated no significant barriers to Kubica’s potential F1 comeback and suggested he could be considered for the 2018 season.
On 24 July 2017, Kubica took part in testing following the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix. According to Abiteboul, this was intended to evaluate Kubica’s current form and assess his readiness for a competitive return. At the Hungaroring, Kubica completed 142 laps and ranked fourth fastest, approximately 1.5 seconds behind Sebastian Vettel.
On 11 October 2017, Kubica completed a single-day test with Williams at Silverstone using their 2014 Williams FW36. He returned for another Williams test on 17 October at the Hungaroring.
After Felipe Massa announced his second retirement, Kubica became a primary contender for Massa’s seat at Williams Martini Racing. He tested at the Yas Marina Circuit post-2017 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, completing 100 laps in the team’s 2017 Williams FW40. The following day he added another 28 laps and posted the seventh fastest time. Williams’ technical director Paddy Lowe confirmed there were no complications related to Kubica’s prior injuries.
2018: Role as Reserve Driver for Williams
On 16 January 2018, Kubica was confirmed as Williams’ reserve driver for the upcoming season. During Friday practice at the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix, he participated in his first Grand Prix weekend since 2010 and outperformed teammate Lance Stroll.
2019: Full-time Racing Return
Prior to the concluding round of 2018, Williams officially announced that Kubica would be their full-time driver for the 2019 season, partnering with 2018 Formula 2 champion George Russell. Kubica chose to race under the number 88, a number previously associated with Rio Haryanto during the 2016 season.
The Williams FW42 proved to be the slowest vehicle on the grid throughout the year. Kubica earned his first points since his comeback by finishing tenth at the 2019 German Grand Prix, benefiting from penalties imposed on other competitors. This result established a new record for the longest interval between points finishes in Formula One.
On 19 September 2019, Kubica declared his intention to part ways with Williams at the end of the season. The team confirmed he would complete the remaining races but would not retain his seat for 2020.
During the 2019 Russian Grand Prix, Kubica retired after Williams opted to withdraw his car to preserve components following a wheel nut failure experienced by teammate Russell. This decision attracted criticism from Kubica's sponsor, PKN Orlen. At the subsequent event in Japan, Kubica publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Williams for removing an upgraded front wing that he had tested during practice sessions.
At the 2019 Brazilian Grand Prix, an early pit stop release almost resulted in a collision with Max Verstappen, causing delays for Kubica in the pit lane.
Kubica concluded the season ranked 19th in the drivers' standings with one point, finishing ahead of Russell. After his departure from Williams, he was succeeded by 2019 Formula 2 runner-up Nicholas Latifi.
Alfa Romeo (2020–2022)
Kubica joined Alfa Romeo Racing as a reserve driver for the 2020 season, returning to the squad where he initially debuted (then known as BMW Sauber). During pre-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, he recorded the fastest lap on day four, alongside 2019 F2 champion Tatiana Calderón. Throughout 2020, Kubica participated in testing sessions at multiple Grands Prix including Styrian, Hungarian, 70th Anniversary, Bahrain, and Abu Dhabi; he also took part in the Abu Dhabi Young Drivers Test.
In 2021, when full-time driver Kimi Räikkönen tested positive for COVID-19 prior to the Dutch Grand Prix, Kubica stepped in as his replacement. He qualified eighteenth and finished fifteenth, outperforming teammate Antonio Giovinazzi. Kubica again substituted for Räikkönen at the Italian Grand Prix, qualifying nineteenth and finishing fourteenth after contact with Yuki Tsunoda. Despite competing in only two races, Kubica ranked twentieth out of twenty-one drivers that year. Additionally, he participated in three free practice sessions and conducted Pirelli’s testing of their new 18-inch tyres for Alfa Romeo.
For the 2022 season, Kubica continued as reserve and test driver, taking part in free practice sessions at the Spanish, French, Hungarian, and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix.
Following Alfa Romeo’s primary sponsor Orlen moving to Scuderia AlphaTauri ahead of the 2023 campaign, Kubica departed from the team.
Endurance racing (2021–present)
Kubica ventured into endurance racing in 2021, joining Orlen Team WRT for the European Le Mans Series. During this campaign, he triumphed in three events and clinched the LMP2 championship.
Later that year, he competed with High Class Racing for the concluding two rounds of the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship held in Bahrain, stepping in for Jan Magnussen. Alongside teammates Anders Fjordbach and Dennis Andersen, Kubica contributed to the team securing two ProAm podium finishes.
Prema (2022)
At the start of 2022, Kubica committed to Prema Orlen Team for the World Endurance Championship season. He participated in six races across multiple continents, including distinguished events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 1,000-mile endurance race at Sebring.
WRT (2023)
After a season with Prema, Kubica rejoined Team WRT in 2023 and successfully captured the LMP2 class title once again.
AF Corse (2024–present)
In 2024, Kubica progressed to the Hypercar category, piloting the #83 Ferrari 499P for AF Corse in the WEC. His teammates included Ye Yifei and Robert Shwartzman. On 1 September, Kubica claimed victory at the Lone Star Le Mans, becoming only the third driver to win in both a Formula 1 race and a WEC event, joining the ranks of Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber. The following year, in 2025, he achieved overall success at the renowned 24 Hours of Le Mans alongside teammates Phil Hanson and Ye Yifei, marking a landmark achievement as the first Polish driver to win this prestigious race.
