Robert Kubica

Born: 7 December 1984 in Kraków
Robert Józef Kubica is the first Polish racing driver to compete in Formula One.

Between 2006 and 2009 Kubica drove for the BMW Sauber F1 team, promoted from test driver to race driver during 2006. In June 2008, Kubica took his maiden F1 victory in the Canadian Grand Prix, becoming the 99th driver to win a World Championship race. On 6 February 2011, Kubica was seriously injured in a crash at the Ronde di Andora rally, in which his forearm was partially severed.
Kubica had to miss the whole 2011 season, and although he is expected to fully recover from his injuries, his future in Formula One racing for the long term remained unclear.
His recovery was dealt another setback after he re-broke his right leg, when he reportedly slipped on ice near his home in Italy, in January 2012. In 2013 he is driving for Citroen in the European and World Rally-2 Championships.
