Triumphant Return: Kubica Wins 24 Hours of Le Mans after Bumpy Ride
Mick Schumacher trails significantly in Le Mans, with no prospects for victory.
Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the career of former F1 driver Robert Kubica! Known for his grit and determination, Kubica has faced challenges in the form of injuries, setbacks, and trials, but he's always come out on top.
Kubica's career in motorsports started with karting, where he quickly made a name for himself. In 2006, he entered the world of Formula 1, competing for BMW Sauber. His success didn't take long—in 2008, he snatched a breathtaking win at the Canadian Grand Prix, marking one of the highlights of his career.
However, Kubica's journey wasn't without obstacles. A devastating rally crash in 2011 left him with severe injuries, including partial amputation of his right forearm. The beaming star of the F1 world seemed paused, and many thought his career was over. But Kubica isn't one to give up. He fought back with determination and made a comeback, shifting to rally racing and later, sportscars.
His return to Formula 1 with Williams in 2019 marked a significant moment in his career. Although it didn't last long, it was a triumphant step towards reclaiming his spot on the racing track.
Kubica then transferred to endurance racing, joining AF Corse's Ferrari program for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite a few setbacks—such as a disappointing retirement in 2024 due to a crash and mechanical failure—he persevered and achieved an incredible victory in 2025, driving the No. 83 Ferrari 499P alongside Chinese driver Ye Yifei and British driver Philip Hanson[1][2][4].
The Le Mans Win: A Sweet Victory
"I don't know if a dream has come true," Kubica said, recalling his second place in another category at Le Mans four years ago. "Winning in the Hypercar class makes the victory even sweeter," he declared. The win was a testament to his resilience, grit, and unwavering determination.
As Kubica drove through the finished line, his teammates, Ye and Hanson, climbed onto the Ferrari, and together they were cheered by over 300,000 spectators, driving through a corridor of people to the podium[3].
Mick Schumacher's Progress
Mick Schumacher, the son of the legendary Michael Schumacher, was trailing far behind Kubica during the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Despite starting off strongly, Schumacher failed to secure a top ten position in the classic. However, he managed to catch up a bit at the end, improving from his initial position[3].
The unrest and dissatisfaction that had once surrounded Kubica in the Ferrari team were long forgotten in the happiness of the team's win.
