And Colossally That's History S4 E7: Robert Kubica - The lost champion of F1’s modern era

On the latest episode of And Colossally That's History, Matt and Richard reflect on the career of Robert Kubica, regarded by many as the lost champion of F1’s modern era.


They describe Robert's path to F1, when he battled - and often beat - fellow future grand prix stars Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in karting, before his dazzling debut races with BMW-Sauber.


Kubica's dramatic pair of Canadian GPs are also discussed at length, with Matt telling anecdotes about witnessing the Pole's horror shunt in Montreal in 2007 and subsequent win at the same circuit in 2008.


Matt and Richard also muse on Kubica's inherent strengths as a driver and the way he was perceived and appreciated by fellow drivers and team bosses, both before the 2011 rally crash that stopped his career in its tracks and after, when he made a determined return to F1 before battling to victories in rallying and at the Le Mans 24 hours.


And finally, there's time for a debate about where Kubica fits into the unfortunately large collection of lost champions - those drivers whose careers were halted in their prime, before they could achieve what they seemed destined to do.
