- Story Text: Robert Kubica announced on Thursday (September 19) he will leave former champions Williams at the end of the year, a move likely to bring down the curtain on his extraordinary Formula One racing comeback.
The 34-year-old made his return in 2019, eight years after suffering near-fatal injuries including a partially severed right arm in a minor rally in Italy on the eve of the 2011 season.
"I have taken the decision that I will not continue more with Williams after this year," he said at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Williams are last in the championship with just one point, scored by Kubica.
He remains the only Polish driver to have raced in the Formula One world championship.
