A biography for Robert Kubicahasn’t been written yet.
“When you have raced for 20 years and one day you have to stop, it's not easy, especially when you are hit with big problems.”
“As a racing driver, everything you do is to get to Formula 1 and one day it stops.”
“I didn't know if I would get the chance to return to F1.”
“I am a big fan of racing.”
“Regarding KERS, I have mixed feelings. As I am a tall and relatively heavy person I have disadvantages regarding the weight and consequently the weight distribution of the car. But on the other hand KERS could be a big advantage because of the boost.”
“In a rally car when you put a 20 kg spare wheel in a car which is weighing 1,300 kg, you feel it.”
“Spa is quite different to all the other circuits we run at because, although we use lower downforce levels similar to Canada, this circuit has many more high-speed corners.”
“Silverstone is normally quite a tricky place for the set-up and for finding a good balance, because you have a big difference between the low-speed and high speed corners, and there are not really any medium-speed corners in between.”
“You have to live for what is next, not from memories.”
“There is nothing for granted in life. That's how it is.”
“If you have more downforce, everything becomes much easier. Drivers drive better, engineers they have more room for setup, the tyres are working better because you switch them on earlier and you have less degradation.”
“When you are a race driver you see things in the race driver mode.”
“I will always give 100 percent and I am looking to finish in the points on a consistent basis.”
“If I had to choose and had one week's holiday, I stay at home. But if I am at home and have nothing to do and have a choice, then I go rallying.”
“If I have luck and keep working and the puzzle comes together, maybe one day I will drive an F1 car.”
“For me, I have a chance to race in F1, a chance I did not think I would have.”
“Of course I have to work harder because I have my limitations, and I have to prepare better and in a different way my body and mental strength, but that is part of my life.”
“KERS definitely helps on a straight when you want to overtake somebody who doesn't have the system.”
“Every single rally is a different character.”
“Sometimes in Formula One the fans are too far away from what is going on the track.”
