Williams given big Kubica boost

Abu Dhabi – Polish driver Robert Kubica will return to Formula One for Williams in 2019, eight years after he was seriously injured in a rally crash, the team said yesterday.

Kubica, who has not taken part in a grand prix since his right arm was partially severed in the accident in 2011, joins Englishman George Russell at the British team in 2019.

The 33-year-old Polish driver has already done several practice sessions for Williams. –
