Robert Kubica is one of the most highly-rated talents in Grand Prix Racing.

Having made his debut with BMW in 2006, the 25-year-old Pole has established himself as a consistent front-runner and has proved his ability as a race-winning driver and championship contender.
Having competed competitively in karts since the age of ten, he moved to single-seaters in 2001, initially competing in Formula Renault and then in Formula 3. By 2005 he was racing in the World Series by Renault and after winning the championship he secured a test with the Renault F1 Team. This was to prove a springboard to Formula One as he joined BMW-Sauber as third driver in 2006 before graduating to a race seat later that year.

Since then he has scored nine podiums, including victory at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix.
