Overview
- Kubica’s 6 February 2011 accident at the Ronde di Andora sent a guard rail through his Skoda Fabia’s cockpit, leaving him with catastrophic injuries and over an hour trapped in the car.
- He sustained a partial amputation of his right forearm, dozens of fractures, and severe blood loss, while his co‑driver escaped unhurt.
- Kubica says he had agreed to race for Ferrari in 2012 alongside Fernando Alonso, a move halted by the crash shortly after he set the fastest time in pre‑season F1 testing with Renault.
- He returned to Formula 1 with Williams in 2019, scoring the team’s only point that season as limited right‑arm mobility affected performance and George Russell out‑qualified him across the year.
- Recasting his career in endurance racing, he joined Ferrari’s WEC program, won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025 with AF Corse, and is set to compete with the team again in 2026.
