A new video has been posted to YouTube with the title “Robert Kubica returns after his accident at Ronde di Andora!” For those playing at home that’s the same event he was competing in when he had his original crash last year.
As recently as last month former F1 driver Jaime Alguersuari expressed doubts over a Kubica comeback when he said, “I think his injuries are more than expected.”
That was countered by a friend of the Polish driver who painted a more positive picture, “He drives his road car and goes out by himself. He is still building up the strength in his right arm.”
So, watch the video after the break and see what you think. Whoever is behind the wheel of the plucky Clio S1600 is certainly wringing its neck pretty hard. You’d have to be totally fit to drive like that. The initials RK and a Kubica driver identification sticker are also clearly visible on the car.
But, the Ronde di Aronda rally was run in February. About three weeks after he broke his leg. If Robert Kubica does feature in this video then, we reckon it’s more likely that is him standing by the side of the road in the left of frame.
Watch the clip all the same. By the end if you’re not wishing it was you driving that Clio on those empty winding roads we’ll be very surprised!

it ‘s not Robert standing by the side of the road in the left of frame 🙂 it is somebody else !
So, not in this video at all then?
I was going to post a comment querying if they checked that the armco was assembled properly (i.e. the joints in the correct direction), but quickly realised that would be irrelevant going backwards and forwards like that…..
I got a taxi back from the airport last week and the driver’s nametag was “Robert”. I think it was Kubica.
That is some magnificent driving skills either way.
