Robert Kubica was once one of the top prospects on the F1 grid – but the course of his career would change with a major accident.
Robert Kubica has had a successful motorsport career, with wins in grand prix and World Endurance Championship, though he was once seen as a rising star in F1. In 2011, Kubica was involved in a horrific rally crash in which he suffered near-fatal injuries, including 42 fractures and a partial amputation of his forearm. After extensive surgery and recovery, Kubica returned to F1 with Williams in the 2019 season, scoring a point at the chaotic German Grand Prix. Despite FP1 sessions and substitute outings with Alfa Romeo in the following years, Kubica’s F1 career came to an end. Although he had signed a deal to race for Ferrari in 2012, partnering with Fernando Alonso, the opportunity did not materialize.
