Robert Kubica (Krakow, 1984) It is that perfect example when you try to look for an extraordinary talent that fate owed one. For many he is a pilot with a gift behind the wheel that very few of his generation had. Win with a BMW is something that only he achieved in F1 And he did it in Canada 2008, in the same GP where the leg was broken in his worst accident in the great circus.
It was an innate talent of those who always know how to get more than the car allows. Like your good friend Fernando Alonsowith which he was about to share team from 2011 in the Great Circus. But before this he had another accident that changed his life.

The terrible accident of 2011
As we say, Kubica was considered one of the pearls of the 2000 generation in F1 and that is why in 2011 he reached a pre -agreement with Ferrari to share Box with Alonso. But then He had a very cruel accident doing a Rallies test of Italy that could have ended an amputation of his right arm.
Luckily, doctors could save his arm but the sequelae of the accident remained for life impregnated both at the level of strength and mobility. Logically, the agreement with those of Maranello was parked. But that was not going to prevent Kubica from continuing to enjoy her great passion and, based on effort and good contacts, the opportunity came again in F1.

The return to F1
Over the years Kubica took confidence again at the wheel and adapted to her new situation. It was clear that I didn't have the same skills but this was not going to stop. That is why when he felt with forces he worked hard to return to the Paddock of the F1, where by talent he had never left.
The opportunity came in Williams in 2019 after being a year as a test pilot in Grove. The British needed money and the Polish has several sponsors behind. This opened the doors but it was very clear from the beginning that we were not before Kubica himself who marveled everyone in the highest category.
The dream return became a martyrdom with the worst grid car and clearly surpassed by his partner, the Rookie of that time George Russell. Kubica achieved the only point on the team but this was not enough to renew the contract for the next campaign. The expected return ended in a single season.

The step to resistance and 'stick' in Le Mans
It is there when Kubica decides to take the step in the world of resistance, where she must also overcome a hard bump to digest. two campaigns, in Le Mans precisely Kubica birlared the victory in the LMP2 category on the last round. A one day fighting for victory to escape at the last moment. Anyone would have needed time to overcome something like that.
But in two years Kubica managed to remove the spine two years after the big one with the absolute victory and by Ferrari, that team with which he was going to sign in F1. In summary, the fate owed him and touched to wait, but the debt was charged in the most iconic automobile event.
