If Robert kubica din’t get in the rally crash I’d think he win the championship
Mashimaru Higashikata Not really he will but as a he could
He probably would be a top end driver
Not sure about the championship.
But if he weren't in several injuries, he would likely be a key rival to experienced drivers such as Kimi Raikkonen in these years, and continue to be in the game of constructors.
I mean, even if he lost his 2012 Ferrari contract and joined a second tier such as Williams later in 2012, he is probably sitting in the Bottas' Petronas secondary seat by now.
definitely
what the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Have you seen the accident on TV?”
“Yeah i have also seen it live while i was there”
He’s an absolute savage 😆
he had vip tickets
Had too laugh too hard haha
he was Kubica's passenger
He will indeed be remembered as a guy always fighting against the odds.
that's the polish blood
2019: scores a point in a Williams
Still better than Gecko.
His car is a wheelbarrow

Forza Robert! 🏁🏁
I'm quite new in following F1, which race was it?
When my sons will ask me what a true legend is i will show them this
ProgLuke37 yeees 🔝🔝

Scores 1st point after 8 years.
July, 2019
You know he was injured then...

Ur dumb
What a great story, still unfinished. Robert have an enormus mental strength, a true hero. He is a example of hard working and sacrafice to achieve dreams. Fingers crossed for new season.

As a Russel fan, I find this amusing. Not putting Kubica's performance down in the slightest, massive respect to him and he also scored William's only point that season
I remember watching F1 every weekend with my dad when Kubica had been racing before that horrible accident happened. Great personalities, great fighters who raced for the win and fun too. Beautiful times and memories. I have tears in my eyes right now.
Kubica is back baby!! Cant wait for next season. I hope williams can do better
I hope they will also be in 10th place.
I wish they would do better, but losing a title sponsor, I don’t see how.
@@lsouza1327 they will have same budget had last year
Probably finish 13th. A place Lance Stroll has finished around 8 times this year XD
In this video you can see a legend and sebastian vettel
All the memes about Williams last two position are garbage. Ok tha car is garbage. But he suffered permanent injuries while racing Rally (which by itself is insane, Rally I mean, far more ballsy than F1 as of danger and balls involved). I don't care if he has a garbage car or if he's almost always in the last positions. He's Kubica, a legend of perseverance, talent, passion, hard work and humility. Always respect for Robert
max verstappen see robert kubica he is out on the pit lane box okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Kubica is in the car for Alfaromeo orlen F1 team for fp1 In Bahrain 🇧🇭
Yeah, those injuries ruined his F1 career... Just look at his right hand from 2:10. It is clearly visible how his hand moves unnaturally..
Williams was broken and had quite heavy internal porblwms. Robert's car was garbage, driving on spare parts without upgrades - his teammate got upgrades for the car always at first.
We can clearly see - Kubica was always in race at the beginning faster...
he was lucky he was operated on in italy. back in our home country, they'd amputate the arm for sure.
At least we still have an early 2000s driver with Kim next year!
@@shalansharma443 I mean we're still in the early 2000s, not even a fifth of the way through the 21st century.
Donyx yep, he race in F1 since 2001
@@hesarajayawardhana9213 Well, then everyone is a early 2000 driver! Of course the person meant 2000-2009, and how is 2006 early then 🙈🙈🙈
Jong un?
They will be fighting in that thicc midfield next season 👌
Such a humble man. I love his attitude. Welcome back, Robert. You deserve this.
And now upload Kubica's lap from Suzuka 2010.
Yes! Millions of people waiting for Kubica's Q3 from Suzuka 2010!!! You must have it.

There you go :-)
MrLupusG do you know the song name plz i need to know
thx
was it special?
Sorry but its q1 not q3
Without that fuc*ing rally he would be a champ. I think I will wait a long time too see another fantastic driver from my country...Greets from Poland!
I am Polish to and I love Robert.
That BMW was just a legendary beast of a car!
True. I wish they will have partnership with mclaren to make them strongger
Oh yeah those were the good times, I still remember watching Lewis and Kimi crash in Montreal and Kubica win live
Pity that BMW stopped 2008 car development after Canada. Otherwise he could be a real WDC contender and my favourite car manufacturer would win WCC.
2005 engine = greatest engine of f1 history
that car looked beautiful aswell
ROBERT KUBICA is just unbelievable! He masters this sport. Man, I do love watching F1!!
Ive seen it also live.. When i was there.. 😂😂
Best Kubica Post Race Briefing:
Interviewee: Have you seen the accident on tV?

He may have been unlucky but he has set a whole new benchmark of inspiration that it's never too late.
Nareszcie! Doczekałem się, to było długich 8 lat. Trole z każdej strony mówiły NIE "WRUCI" a ja wiedziałem, że jak ktoś ma wrócić, to tylko Robert! Brawo, dla tego człowieka, niesamowita historia która ciągle się pisze!
siema rodaku
Nareszcie trochę kompensaty za te mistrzostwa które wiemy że by zdobył gdyby nie ten straszny wypadek. Skaczę z radości tak że zaraz chałupę rozniosę!
A trole niech się pocałują tam gdzie plecy tracą swą szlachetną nazwę...
Nie wruci
@bracikmen jak dobrze że tak wielki talent jak Kubica wraca na światowe tory. Najważniejsze że te 20 mln euro poszło do Williamsa a nie do PZPN.
@@Fred_P nie wruci
2019 has got to be one of the most anticipated seasons ever. Charles to Ferrari, Kimi to an improving Sauber, ThiccDiccRicc to an ever advancing Renault who promise a new engine, a potential title shot for Verstappen if the Honda engine is as good as it appears to be lately, and Robert back in F1.
dont forget lando norris and george russell
I would like to ask you, how do you find the 2019 season 😂
XDDDDD
Huh
It's funny how your predictions were off. Mercedes dominated. Leclerc was great, Raikkonen solid, Ricciardo average or below expectations and Kubica drove poorly. Verstappen didn't have any shot at the title.
It's really good to have him back in the F1 grid. Thank you Williams. #Kubicaisback Thank you for all the likes. 👍
It's a great story that we really needed, frankly. I'll raise a glass and say _na zdrowie!_ to that! (without knowing if I'm spelling that right)...
@@rjfaber1991- You've spelled that perfectly! :D I'm so happy to see that people around the world have a sympathy to Kubica. We've been waiting long enough... It's almost like a hero movie story. :)
Thank Orlen (or Benzina in Italy, something else in Germany, same brand). Without the dosh Williams won't hire you. I mean, they're not a big team, so I don't hold it against them. But at some point money vs talent you have to invest more into talent.
@@PuerRidcully - This time I think money comes along with a great talent. Williams will have a specialist on the track and some proper funds to make the car a lot better than this season. I hope for an improvement with realtime feedback from Robert. Damn, they have a dream team with him and Russel!
Florian Kubara DUDE stop it! Have to hold back these tears and outbursts! KUBICA COMEBACK!!!!! #FORZAKUBICA
Am I the only one who was just straight up vibing to the background music?
Nope
So happy williams signed him , he is a talent that everybody likes
How to make Williams competitive again:
Step 1:Hire Kubica.
Done.
Step 2. Use the exact same Mercedes engine that the Mercedes W09 EQ+ is currently using
What about George Russel !? He's a huge talent and most likely the new F2 champion. While Kubica definetly will help to improve the competitiveness of Williams so will Russel.
They hired him last year? The car has got slower?
TheCringeTroll Not that easy. They need to sort out the chassis and aero next
Lol
So happy for him, one of the best drivers ever. Would’ve already deserved it years ago, but glad it still happened in the end. Bring on 2019!
Well deserved for Robert, such a great guy. Best of luck for next year🙂
Can’t wait for next year’s midfield battle, especially Kimi vs Robert
Yeah, me too!
if Williams can produce a proper car, next year is going to be epic
Wait more
It surely looks intense between those 2 this year
This comment did not age well... Williams are only competing among themselves...
I met him in Bologna airport in October of last year. Very nice guy, I'm glad to know that he is back and I hope Robert and Williams to be a successful partnership in 2019.
He brought less money than Sirotkin, William$ became Williams again.
NFS2SE3HP4HS8U2 sponsorship:
Sir = 7kk,
Kub = 10kk.
Claire: “No money, no honey”🤷♂️
I read something different, Sirotkin would bring 15 million and Kubica brought 11 million.
@Racing Moments It's just their excuse, they were offering more money than Kubica to the very end.
it's not truth, Orlen has paid 100mln polish zloty (about 35mln$) for two years for kubica)
@@pawelje don't spread false news
Beautiful history. All Polish fans wait for this moment. Welcome back Robert. Thank you for fighting your weaknesses!
Last race for Sirotkin in f1
Last race for Stroll in Williams
Last race for Kimi at Ferrari
Last race for Alonso in f1
Last race for vandoorne in f1
Last race for Ocon in f1
Last race for Riccardo at Red Bull

2019 will be damn exciting
@João Belo Force india
Lots of lasts...what do you mean with the last one?
It's great that f1 fan's and professional's alike share a respect for speed thus Kubica is on th grid for this season, respect.
What an absolute legend he is

@@h-rttv7374 are you joking. Lauda was very critical and to make a comeback after just 4 races was a miracle. He had massive balls.
Arguably one of the best drivers to never win the world championship. Incredibly talented human being.
Its absoloutely awesome!!! Kubica, you're a bloody legend!

Alonso IS better!

As a Kimi fan i would like to say F1 was missing this kind of super talent for a long long time. Such a shame for the years went without Kubica.
KUBI is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeeessssss!!!!
See you next year Kubi on the european track for me
This is a very useful overview for someone like me who is a new fan since this season. Always wondered why an old polak was hanging out in the Williams garage. Now I know why, seems exciting.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Great storry!! Im so happy! And once again... big thanks to RENAULT for tests with Robert!
1:11
For me, personally this was the best Moment in F1 so far
Glad he's back
#forzaKubica
BMW should return as well...
I miss BMW so much that I bought one recently ;)
They had so much potential in the team but it was wasted because of 2009 (probably only one-year-struggle).
BMW is the reason Robert didn't win the 2008 championship. He was leading after Canada, but since BMW achieved their goal of winning one race in 2008 they completely stopped developing their car to focus on their absolute joke of a car for 2009.
@@Fred_P BMW 2008 had potential to make 3-way battle for Driver Championship.
At least their in Formula E, hopefully they can rekindle some of that F1 magic they had there.
WISH PORSCHE WOULD COME BACK IN F1,they have the tech,imagine a flat six Turbo,rather than a V6......
I wish him the best.
There's always something romantic in "fall and rise" stories.
He had so much potential, i really want to see this guy competitive again.
And Williams competitive too.
You really deserve that.
Good luck.
One of most underrated driver...
Just flicked through all the comments on this video and it really goes to show that being a legend in F1 (or any sport) is not about the numbers alone it is about how you compete and so much more.
Williams have signed a much love super-star !!
Great news. All the Best Robert. An inspiration for the young generation. Never Give Up!
Dreams really come true. I remember watching his win in Canada 2008 just like it happened yesterday. I also remember waking up to find out that he'd had an accident. I've never gave up hoping I would see him in the sport again, and now, hopes and dreams come true. It might take time for him to get back to being 50% of what he was before the accident, but just the sheer fact that he is back is incredible. A true example of how far hard work, dedication, and passion really go. Mark Webber said it best, "Poland’s man is coming back huh..what a warrior and tenacious prick he is. Love it...".
Good to hear you are coming back. Thank God for your life.
FINALLY, he is back. I have been waiting on his returning since 2008, and I was only 4 years old!
What a fairytale story, so happy for Kubica! 🎉
I have tears of happiness in my eyes and a big smile on my face watching it! This comeback is more important for me than any other polish sport achievement! I wish you the best Robert but honestly doesn't matter what happens now - you did something that wasn't possible to be done! You're already the best, and the greatest. Real role model for any other sportsman for ever! Also next season starts exactly on my birthday so I'm hoping for some F1 happiness that day!
Yes Yes, Kubica is back!! Emotion is back again
Kubica has done a full circle. He started in sauber and gone back to sauber.
2:10 You can hear them chanting "Robert Kubica" in the grandstands. I love F1 fans
I'm so glad to see you again in the tracks!!! Welcome to this new adventure!!! Hope you to be one of the best pilots in F1 again!!!
2019 is looking spicy with Russel, Norris and now Kubica , who are all exceptionally talented drivers, on the grid!
Edward George Fleming difference is 2 of them are young talents/future stars, and one of them is a mildly disabled 33 year old. It's going to be really nice to see Kubica back in F1, but I just don't see how he deserves the seat..
@@sam_marley cuz you don't know the guy and what is still capable to do.
He's done incredible work for Williams as their development driver. That's why even Ferrari wanted him to develop. I think this is the best possible long-term lineup for the Williams team. Ocon would've been gone after 2019 anyways.
@@sam_marley according to the data from redbull simulator in 2017 he was faster than verstappen and riccardo. he is still better than stroll, ocon, grosjean, magnussen, perez, sainz, vandorne, hartley, sirotkin. hiring one of the best drivers in the paddock as a paydriver, cant imagine better deal for williams really. people think this is a big risk, but in fact its not
Chuck Norris gonna win
His perseverance finally payed no matter what happens next season his comeback after injury will go down as one of the greatest comebacks of all time hope he has not lost any of his previous speed I have to say Grazie Ra Grazie Kubica is back
Kubica has more talent with one hand than Stroll and Sirotkin combined😂😂
Robert, relogin with you ourn account! =))
Eh, they had pretty shit cars this season. Can't see Kubica set better times with the same car.
I like Kubica, but lets not act he's Senna.
Hahaha, absolument ! 😂😂
@@Kiluei I'm not acting like he is Senna, I'm just saying that Stroll and Sirotkin are probably the worst drivers on the grid along with Hartley and Kubica was one of the best of the grid. Alonso himself said that Robert was one of the best drivers that he ever drove against so...
hey! sirotkin was voted the best driver of the season!
Kubica’s journey and persistence are gut wrenching to me. I’m very happy for him making it back to F1 after that horrific crash in the rally car. God bless you Robert Kubica!
1:56 Goosebumps
This is INCREDIBLE! This guy just never quit. Whoever said persistence and perseverance don't pay need to see Robert's story.
2021: with just an hour of practice, being a reserve driver, finishes infront of both Williams just behind his teammate
Team orders didn’t let him even pass Antonio, he could’ve scored in pounds
That's really just amazing! Nothing else to say, but I'm gonna say anyway... I'm so chuffed to see him back. He was my favourite driver and I had huge hopes for him at the time of the crash. So pleased to see him return to a full-time race seat with such a great team mate in Russell. I'm excited for Williams in 2019. Even if they don't win races, I predict now they'll be most improved team on the grid.
Errm, I guess one can dream...
Hope this beautiful journey won't end in one season. Great man, great story, I keep my fingers crossed for 2020 season :-) Forza RK!
welcome back kubica!!i am so excited to see your race again
OOOOOOOOHHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOWWWWDDD
Robert Kubica is back babyyy ;)
That's gonna be awesome !
Such a legend
This is amazing how far he has come, from driving in BMW to coming back after a life changing accident, he is my hero.
Hi @Formula 1 why did you removed video "Robert Kubica moments of brilliance"?
Absolutely fantastic news, made my day! He could have been a great in F1, but due to his crash it put him out for a few years. Robert racing again in F1 in my opinion, will definitely make him one of the greats no questiins asked!!
While it's good to have him back, it will be difficult to see him mired at the bottom of the table.
He's good enough to be fighting mid table.
I don't have any worries for him. He will do fine and hopefully bring in a couple sponsors for Williams.
@@TATTIEPICKER He's good enough, no doubt. But will Williams be? I don't know about sponsors though. No one seems to care about Williams anymore.
@@TATTIEPICKER if their car stays on the same level, not even the best imaginable driver will be not at the end. sirotkin and stroll were not, that bad this season. The car was horrile and in many cases close to undrivable. This car had no good working aero. It was more sliding around corners, than proper driving.
@@HeavyMetalGamingHD On average Massa was 0.7sec faster than stroll. If you would cut 0.7sec from all of Strolls qualis this year he would have been at the midfield more than occasionally. Same story as last year when massa was P10 and stroll was dead last.
@@sepidn massa did not drive this years car. we have no data on that. the 2017 car was so much better. you can not compare this times. Also stroll has now 1 year more experience, than last year.
Yes Robert, yes Sir Frank/Claire Williams - maybe Paddy?? Robert Kubica should be held up as an inspiration to anyone that has suffered a life changing event. He is living proof that we can all overcome bad times. Even if he isnt at all competitive, (and im sure he will be) just getting back to the top of the sport is a great story and shows how we should never give up. Go get 'em Robert!!

What a driver! Im so happy to see him Next year on the grid 😍
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that had he not had that accident, Kubica would've won at least one maybe two world championships by now.
He was the first and last driver that really excited me since Montoya when he was in Williams.
Still, he may not have the full use of his right arm, but he has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that his mind is made of steel. There's nothing that can stop this guy. Even if he can't compete as well as he used to be, Williams will still be benefitting from a mind of his calibre.
I'm so glad he's back.
The King is back! #ForzaKubica
Robert Kubica sialalala!
Finally my polish brother is back.To be honest...I did not believe for some time but Robert shows that nothing is impossible!I can’t wait to see my countryman for the first time since I have been watching this sport.What a story👏🏻
He's a Legend! ❤️❗
Yess!!! R. Kubica back on grid. Salutes from Japan!
Bring him back in 2022 in Alfa Romeo Racing Orlen. We need him
He would be then around 38 year old.... And before you mention likes of Kimi or Alonso who still races dont. Kubica is not like them...
@@RealNiXa he would drive way better than Alonso in Alpine now. Robert's skill and talent are on world champion tier
@@RealNiXa he still have that thing. He's winning in WRT series and of course he did the fastest time in tests in Barcelona last year
Very nicely made video, highlighting Kubica's achievements and the progress from test driver to full time racer over the last 2-3 years. #Kubicaisback
Kimi's and Schumi reaction on the podium just show how Robert was talented. 🙁
I would say that they appreciated the passion Robert was celebrating his 1st podium with. Michael and Kimi themselves used to enjoy it in the beginning of their career, but not anymore at the time.
this is awesome to see after such a nasty crash!! This is a good life lesson in never give up just because the odds maybe stacked against you.
Good Luck Robert Kubica and I will be cheering for you all season in 2019!!
WHAT A LEGEND
Finally a real f1 drivers that deserves a seat for the next season. Welcome back Kubica :)
