Kubica to leave Williams at end of 2019 season

Will we see Robert Kubica at a Grand Prix Formula 1 in 2020? The question deserves to be asked after the Pole's announcement at a press conference this Thursday, September 19 of his departure from the team Williams at the end of this season.

The former BMW-Sauber driver and Renault managed to get a seat in 2019 in the independent team. But the lack of performance of the car and the more than tenacious resistance of his young teammate George Russell got the better of his desire.

 

“I am looking for new opportunities. I will not continue with Williams next year, I will stop at the end of 2019he revealed. It’s a decision I made and it opens up more opportunities for me in the future. 

I will now assess what is feasible. I spent a lot of time and energy getting back into this sport. I would like to stay in F1, yes, but not at all costs. 

First of all, I have to find the pleasure of racing again, because this season has been very difficult. It's not easy to return to F1 after a long time, especially in the situation we are in (last in the Manufacturers’ championship. Editor’s note). But I have to thank the team. »

Robert Kubica, despite all the criticism raining down on him, brought home the one and only point of the season to Claire Williams. An unexpected feat that occurred in the rain in Hockenheim (Germany). 

The winner of the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, seriously injured in a road accident rally in February 2011, could look at other disciplines, such as the German Touring Championship (DTM). Strong rumors are sending him into this competition, as we announced to you at the beginning of the week.
