The Pole insists for a month on his goal of returning to F1. – It does not matter if I'm closer now or, say, two months ago in Barcelona. Last year, I was very close and I was not traveling. I do not think about the situation. I do not think: am I closer or next? The end result is important and only then will we be able to talk about it – Sport.pl said before the Friday training before the Austrian Grand Prix.
Robert Kubica is currently a reserve and development pilot at Williams. The contract has been signed for this season. – The fact that we are now in Williams does not mean that I want to be with Williams at the start. My goal is to come back to the chase – like that and then we'll see. From a realistic point of view, there are not many teams I could cooperate with – he added after Friday 's training before the Grand Prix. Austria.
At the event for one of Williams' sponsors, he stated that æ will be known in two or three months.
Who would Kubica eat?
For now, all transfer traffic is stopped by the biggest teams. Everyone waits when Mercedes announces the extension of contracts with Lewis Hamilton and Valtter Bottas. And then everything will move from the hoof. Red Bull is close to an agreement with Daniel Ricciardo, the fate of Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari takes place – Charles Leclerc, now a beginner at Sauber, takes his place.
But the best Kubica teams are not watching. Realistically, the situation looks like: Williams, Haas, Sauber, Toro Rosso, and maybe McLaren are teams where there may be a place for Kubica.
More recently in recent gossip about Kubica's interest in Toro Rosso where expectations are not met by Brendon Hartley. But the representatives of the team and the Poles themselves denied these reports. Maybe the subject will come back at the end of the season, as Hartley and Pierre Gasly have contracts until the end of the season
What will Alonso decide?
The situation of a Pole can also depend on the decision of his good friend. Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard is not happy with the situation at McLaren, he is reiterated on his definitive departure from F1. – I do not know what I will do next year. There is still a lot of time – he said at the Grand Prix of Austria. At McLaren, they are not completely satisfied with the shape of Stoffel Vandoorne. "Our priority will be to stop Fernando," said Eric Boullier, McLaren's racing director on Saturday. But three days later he was released, so we do not know if his words can be taken seriously.
Young people will influence Kubica's situation?
At least one place may be vacant in Sauber – if Leclerc will go to Ferrari or Haas. Maybe the team will also give up Marcus Ericsson, who definitely loses the rivalry with the Monaco starter.
We do not know how the situation will unfold in Haas. For eight races, Romain Grosjean was completely disappointed, but in the Grand Prix of Austria he took fourth place – that was the best result of the American team in history. – I'm calm about my future. Everything should be fine We will talk about the GP of Great Britain – said Grosjean in Austria. Kevin Magnussen's contract expires, but he presents the same form.
And of course, Williams – Lance Stroll has a contract until the end of the year, with Sergei Sirotkin the case could be over this season. What are the plans for the British team, we do not know.
Apart from the drivers currently in F1, the young talents of the lower-race series will also fight for the cockpits for next season. Lando Norris and Antonio Giovinazzi are the two people we talk about most. And they can become the most important rivals of Kubica in F1
The Hungarian Grand Prix scheduled for the last weekend of July and the tests on the circuit of Hungaroring (Kubica will go with Williams the second day) is the best moment to evaluate potential new faces. After the summer holidays, most teams will know who will pick them up in 2019.
This year, the situation is different. A year ago, there was only one spot available for Williams, and this year, other teams will change drivers. Or he will not be – says Kubica.
