F1 race winner Robert Kubica is talking to multiple teams in order to land a seat in the Hypercar class of WEC in the coming years. Full story ⬇️
Kubica made the switch from single-seaters following the end of his comeback season in Formula 1 in 2019, initially spending a year in the DTM before moving on to endurance racing.
There is the obvious lure of the Hypercar category from 2023 as manufacturers flock back to WEC after several lean years, and Kubica is one of the many high-profile drivers looking for a seat in the new top class. “I think the highest chance I have is to continue in endurance. Probably I will still be involved in Formula 1.
Kubica said he is taking 2024 into consideration while holding talks with teams and manufacturers for a graduation to WEC’s top class.“But like I said it is a bit more complicated with myself continuing in Formula 1. It's not as straightforward. Also, some calendars are not so easy to handle, that's how it is.”
“I think we can say there were some talks,” he admitted. “I still think it's too far away for me to say yes and no and to tell you exclusively completely. Should Kubica not be able to secure a Hypercar drive, remaining in LMP2 will be the “most natural” choice, according to the Polish driver.
“IMSA is for me more complicated with Formula 1 [but] I would like to do IMSA to be honest,” he said.
