Courageous Polish driver whose remarkable comeback from a devastating crash that severed his arm defined one of sport's most extraordinary stories of recovery and determination.
Robert Kubica made history as the first Polish Formula One World Champion contender and the first Polish winner of a Grand Prix, taking victory at Canada in 2008 for BMW Sauber. An exceptional talent who was considered a future champion, his career was devastated by a severe rally accident in 2011 that nearly cost him his arm. His remarkable comeback to F1 with Williams in 2019, despite limited function in his right arm, is one of motorsport's most inspiring stories.
