“I am happy to join the Prema ORLEN team, said Robert Kubica. I previously raced with them in the 3 Formula 2003 Euro Series. I know the Rosin family and a few key people from back then, and although a lot of time has passed, we all know from single-seaters that the team is extremely competitive . It's a new challenge for the team and for me too since I only raced in three FIA ​​WEC events last year, Le Mans (with WRT. Editor’s note) and the two Bahrain events (with High Class Racing. Editor’s note). I am happy to work with Louis, whom I have known sinceELMS and last year's Le Mans, and Lorenzo. I am looking forward to this challenge which will require a lot of work and involvement. I hope we can start the season strong, without any major problems. We have a lot of things to focus on ahead of us and I can't wait for the season to start.«
