Robert Kubica, Phil Hanson, and Yifei Ye won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the Ferrari 499P LMH No. 83 of the AF Corse satellite team. The former F1 driver delivered an impressive final stint to secure his team’s victory. He completed the last 59 laps without a functioning drink bottle and was at the wheel for 43% of the race.<\/p>\n
Although Robert Kubica’s F1 career never reached the heights that were promised to him before his terrible rally accident in 2011, this prestigious victory at Le Mans is a well-deserved reward for a driver Fernando Alonso once described as the best he had ever faced.<\/p>\n
His triumph at Le Mans echoes that of the Spaniard himself, who had won the event in 2018 and 2019 during his F1 break. Fernando Alonso quickly congratulated his former rival on social media: \u00ab Bravo Robert \u00bb, posted the Aston Martin driver.<\/p>\n
For his part, George Russell \u2013 fresh from his victory in Canada<\/a> \u2013 also praised the achievement: \u00ab Congratulations my mate for your victory at Le Mans, I am so happy for you!! \u00bb, he wrote on social media. George Russell had been the teammate of Robert Kubica at Williams in 2019, when the Pole attempted a comeback in F1 after his accident<\/b>, which had severely damaged his right arm.<\/p>\n Robert Kubica’s career has always fluctuated between moments of grace and tough blows. He survived a terrifying crash in Canada in 2007, while driving for BMW, before clinching his only F1 victory there the following year.<\/p>\n Yes, we did it! \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n Winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2025 \ud83c\udfc6 pic.twitter.com\/PtSOTz1MJL<\/a><\/p>\n\n
