Robert Kubica to Face Reader Questions Ahead of Le Mans 24 Hours Return

Robert Kubica, the Polish driver who claimed victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours with AF Corse’s Ferrari 499P alongside co-driver Yifei Ye, is set to feature in Autosport’s ‘You Ask The Questions’ series on 9 June 2026, as the World Endurance Championship event at Circuit de la Sarthe approaches.

The interview format places readers at the centre of the conversation, with Autosport collecting submitted questions ahead of the sit-down session. Topics open for discussion range from Kubica’s Le Mans triumph to his unlikely return to Formula 1 following the life-altering rallying accident that reshaped his career trajectory.

Readers wishing to put a question to the former BMW Sauber and Williams driver have until 5 June to submit via the official Autosport submissions link. The interview itself is scheduled to take place on 9 June, ahead of the 2026 running of the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Kubica’s story remains one of motorsport’s most compelling narratives. The Polish driver suffered severe injuries in a rally accident in February 2010 during the Ronde di Andora event in Italy, which left his right arm partially severed and raised serious doubts about whether he would ever compete at the highest level again. Despite those prognoses, Kubica returned to the Formula 1 grid with Williams for the 2019 season before transitioning to endurance racing, where he has since found considerable success.

His Le Mans victory in the Ferrari 499P with the AF Corse squad — car number 83 — represents a landmark achievement in the second chapter of his motorsport career, underlining his continued competitiveness at elite level in the World Endurance Championship’s premier Hypercar class.

The 2026 Le Mans 24 Hours is once again expected to draw a strong Hypercar entry, with manufacturers including Toyota, Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, and Alpine among those fielding factory or factory-supported programmes. Kubica’s return to the Sarthe circuit will see him attempt to add further success to his endurance racing record.

Autosport’s ‘You Ask The Questions’ series has previously featured prominent figures from across the motorsport world, including former Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas. The format allows for a broader range of questions than a standard press conference setting, often yielding more candid responses on personal and career topics.
