A biography for Robert Kubicahasn’t been written yet.
“Whenever I jump into the car I always try to do my best.”
“Obviously when you join a team everything is new and you have to get to know the people and how they operate.”
“I spent many years in Italy, I've lived just 5km away from the track and the Monza atmosphere is very special.”
“My story shows never say never.”
“If you've led the championship after seven races you should be fighting for the title.”
“In December 2005 I had a very good opportunity to test Renault's world championship-winning car at Barcelona, and after 30 laps I was setting really good times, so I know what it's like to drive a really good car.”
“If you cannot have the thing you want, you want the thing you have.”
“My aim, as always, is to deliver a good and consistent performance across the year. That is the goal for any driver.”
“We have seen a tendency for cars running the f-duct to use higher downforce levels than normal, because they can stall the rear wing and still generate good top speed.”
“I don't think KERS will change the overall picture - the gaps between the teams won't get any bigger. And I don't expect more overtaking, especially not under braking. The braking distances of modern F1 cars are just too short to make a big difference.”
“When you cannot have steak, either you eat egg or you don't eat. So, in the end, you eat egg and you enjoy it.”
“In order to become a complete driver I believe that rallying will give me extra bits, because of gravel, because of different characteristics.”
“Driving on gravel is very demanding. There are lots of movements on the steering wheel which put a lot of stress on my arm and my hand.”
“It is not that I lost my biggest passion - it is still racing.”
“Often people forget motorsport is a sport.”
“From a mental point of view, as I've had to rebuild my life from zero, it has been crucial I've never given up, that I've set achievable targets, not things that couldn't possibly be achieved.”
“I'm quite honest and demanding of myself so if I can achieve satisfaction from the job I did, I will be happy.”
“The brain adapts very quickly. It is incredible how quickly we can adapt and what progress we can make in a very short time.”
“I've become more sensitive, more open, which is not necessarily good in F1. But if you are able to control your emotions, I think it can be positive.”
“I had a great opportunity to be an F1 driver but, on the other hand, I have a great opportunity to become a rally driver with a very good programme.”
