Robert Kubica will complete a remarkable and unlikely comeback to Formula One after Williams announced the Polish driver will race for them next year.
It will be the 33-year-old Pole’s first competitive F1 drive for eight years since he suffered severe injuries and a partial amputation of an arm in a rallying accident.
Speaking to GulfWeekly’s editor Stan Szecowka shortly after the announcement in Abu Dhabi, he said: “Being back on the F1 grid next season will be one of the greatest achievements of my life. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me and believed in me. I cannot wait to get back.”
The Whisperer is not sure whether our man Stan was more excited by the meeting because of his half-Polish blood or the fact that he might be able to write Pole on pole as a headline once again!
Kubica will be back in Bahrain where his F1 career started and where he raced to his first ever pole position for next season’s second race on the last weekend of March 2019.
