Ferrari wants Kubica with Alonso

Robert Kubica, after BMW and Renault, will he join the team of a third major manufacturer? For several years, the Pole has attracted the attention of all the team managers in the paddock. After the departure of Fernando Alonso at Ferrari, Renault had sensed the right move by poaching Robert Kubica, part of a BMW-Sauber team let go by the German manufacturer. There Team Ferrari could once again recruit a Renault driver, in order to form an Alonso-Kubica pair in 2011. And, despite the date of this information, April Fool's Day is not in order.

Indeed, Ferrari has been looking at Robert Kubica for a long time and, during the summer of 2008, the rumor of a transfer to Maranello for 2010 had circulated. It should be noted that the Pole is appreciated by fans, which is a good marketing argument that should not be overlooked. In addition, his driving skills and his ability to work with the engineers made his reputation in the paddock. According to some sources, an agreement has already been reached for the 2011 season.

After having kicked Kimi Räikkönen out, the Scuderia would thus push Felipe Massa towards the exit. The Maranello team had the ??correction?? to keep the Brazilian despite his serious accident in 2009 in Hungary. But, after this 2010 season, Ferrari wants the best driver duo on the grid. As Luca di Montezemolo declared, “ the best drivers come, sooner or later, to Ferrari ". Robert Kubica could therefore inherit this role in 2011.
