'''Robert Józef Kubica''' ({{IPA-pol|ˈrɔbɛrt kuˈbit͡sa|-|Robert Kubica.ogg}}; born 7 December 1984) is a [[Polish people|Polish]] [[racing driver|racing]] and [[rally driver|rally]] driver, competing for [[AF Corse]] in the [[2024 FIA World Endurance Championship]] and for [[AO Racing|AO]] by [[TF Sport|TF]] in the [[2024 European Le Mans Series]]. He previously competed for [[W Racing Team|Team WRT]] where he won the [[2023 FIA World Endurance Championship]] in the LMP2 class. He was the first and so far holds a record, {{as of|2024|lc=y}}, for being the only Polish racing driver to compete and win a race in [[Formula One]] which was the [[2008 Canadian Grand Prix]], making his latest appearance in the [[2021 Italian Grand Prix]].
 
Between 2006 and 2009 he drove for the [[BMW in Formula One|BMW Sauber]] F1 team, promoted from test driver to race driver during 2006. In June 2008, Kubica took his maiden and only Formula One victory at the {{F1 GP|2008|Canadian}}. That season he led the championship at one stage, before finishing fourth overall, his best career position. Kubica drove for [[Renault F1|Renault]] in {{F1|2010}} and was set to remain with the team in {{F1|2011}}. Several years later Kubica confirmed he had signed a pre-contract for the {{F1|2012}} season with [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], a move that was eventually cancelled by his devastating rally crash in early 2011.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://classic.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/137348|title=Robert Kubica says he had signed F1 deal with Ferrari for 2012|magazine=Autosport|last=Mitchell|first=Scott|date=11 July 2018|access-date=11 July 2018}}</ref>
