Poljak Robert Kubica se nakon osam godina odustva vraća u F1 gdje će naredne godine voziti Williamsov bolid, potvrdila je engleska ekipa.
Nakon užasne nsreće u kojoj je mogao ostati bez desne ruke 2011. godine, Kubica se vratio automobilskim utrkama, a tri sezone nastupao je u Svjetskom reli prvenstvu.
Prošle zime odradio nekoliko testnih vožnji u Formuli 1 zajedno s ruskim vozačem Sergejem Sirotkinom, kada je utvrđeno da je potpuno oporavaljen i spreman za nove izazove.
Prije nesreće Kubica je odvozio 76 utrka u bolidima Saubera i Renaulta, u kojima je došao do jedne pobjede.
One of sport's greatest comebacks.
Eight years ago, Robert Kubica suffered a partially severed right arm, among many other injuries, in a rally crash.
He still has partial movement in that limb, but will race for Williams in 2019.
