Robert Kubica

Robert Kubica, born on 7 December 1984, is a Polish racing and rally driver and the only Polish driver to have competed in Formula One. He graduated from junior formulae by winning the 2005 Formula Renault 3.5 Series, reached Formula One in mid 2006 and drove for BMW Sauber until 2009. His only Grand Prix victory came at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, also the only win for Sauber, and he briefly led the championship before finishing fourth overall, his best result. He drove for Renault in 2010. A serious crash at the Ronde di Andora rally on 6 February 2011 left him with a partial amputation of his forearm and ruled out a planned move to Ferrari. He returned to rallying in 2012, won the inaugural WRC-2 title in 2013 and moved to the World Rally Championship full time in 2014. He came back to the Formula One grid with Williams in 2019, raced in the DTM in 2020, and from 2021 competed in LMP2, winning three LMP2 titles across the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship. He won the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans overall for AF Corse.
