If Siergiej Sirotkin and Lance Stroll would like to go out in the pit lane during the Hungarian Grand Prix, they will not see any Russian or Canadian flags. Under Williams' garage, it was white and red. Packets of mates, weddings, whole families – girls with a mother in identical dresses "I love Kubica". A year ago they were too – it was a gift for my husband's 40th birthday.

In the middle of the crowd, all the foreigners greet each other, throw their necks, smile and everyone agrees to connect them. Every year, many Polish fans come to Hungaroring, but this year there have been many more fans than recently. How exactly? Nobody on the track is able to say. – We would have to count manually – I hear organizers

M. Witold and his family came to the Podkarpacie race. Also to find your picture among the 6000 others on the big flag of "Forza Kubica". This is the second version of the sector that was destroyed a year ago. Then, when Robert Kubica returned to the Hungaroring circuit during official practice at Renault, the fans created a series of shirts with the colors of this team: "Guess who comes back?"

They put their faces on the "Forza Kubica" area of ​​60 square meters. For the first time, they brought her for tests of a Pole in Abu Dhabi last November. The Italian word "forza" made a lot of noise in the local population. He was associated with the English "force" and the organizers decided that the message on the flag is military.

– In Hungary, during the four days, whole families, groups of friends appeared. They were looking for pictures. It also took us by heart when several Irish fans came and shouted "Robert Kubica is our hero" out loud. Teardrop shot in the eyes – says Marta Witecka from the sector team.

– The Kubica phenomenon is not just about his undeniable talent. First of all, the fact that with his modesty, diligence and willingness to fight shows people in the world that not only counts money. Why is he a national hero for us? Precisely because of this fight for a return – adds Marta and tells how off the track in the evening, foreigners have started camping, in hotels and Budapest, to talk about Kubica and return to the track. "Because we, the partisans still believe in it," he said.

Robert Kubica sees this support. – Fans have always been with me – he said in March, when we knew he would come back, but as a reserve driver and development. – Did I run or not? Whether in the snow in Sweden, Welsh mud or Italian heat. They were even when I traveled a little bit. My supporters have gone through difficult times. When he fought for the WRC2 World Championship in 2013 and hardly anyone connected him to come back with the Formula 1, another white and red flag hanging on the Hungaroring: "Robert, n & # 39; do not stop fighting, we do not stop

– We hung up, wanting to make this message work, that it will work, that a miracle will happen … And that 's it! the password that we put on the flag at the time: "Robert, you continue to fight, we are waiting", now has a completely different meaning.We waited for his return in F1, in any role, now we are expecting a place in the 2019 season! – Wojtek Czyżewski, who is with his team at the Hungaroring for the sixth time.

– This year, wanting to strengthen the construction of our white and red veil, we decided to bring on the track bamboo chopsticks and several metal fasteners. After several minutes of consultations and negotiations with the police, who was called on the doors by the protection, we were allowed to enter the track. Until now, we do not know how we did it … After hanging the flag, we received a lot of warm words of thanks and support for Robert, both from our compatriots and fans from all nations. It is clearly visible how much the "our" driver remains and how much everyone is waiting for him. Not only Poles – adds Wojtek.

For Marta, the most beautiful moment was when, after the end of the race, one of the first flags to appear on the podium was the one dedicated to Robert Kubica. – Proudly waving among the flags of Ferrari or Mercedes, shows the idea of ​​our support: that we are there and wait and we believe that soon this place on the podium will be taken by Robert! Because we are the Kubica team. Forever
