Former F1 driver Robert Kubica, who is hoping to make a Formula 1 comeback in 2014, has won his first motorsport event since the his serious accident in February last year. On Sunday, the one-time Grand Prix winner competed in the Ronde Gomitolo di Lana, driving a Subaru Impreza WRC.
It has only been 19 months ago, the Pole from Krakau narrowly escaped death in a similar rally event after the Skoda he was driving was impaled by a metal roadside barrier.
Speaking to Italy's SkySport24, the fomer Renault driver said: “I hope I enjoy myself because this is just a matter of re-adapting to driving and helping my arm to recover better, not looking at the stage times. Having already been a driver for 20 years, my body is only used to certain things and I am able to feel these when I drive, so let’s see what happens.”
Kubica’s Subaru Impreza WRC 06, guided by co-driver Giuliano Manfedi, triumphed on the rally’s four stages to beat Omar Bergo's WRC Mini by just under one minute. The affects of Kubica's accident were clearly visible on his right arm.
