Robert Kubica was born on December 7, 1984 in Krakow - Poland
He started his adventure with cars very early, at the age of four and drove a small off-road vehicle around at his parents' home.
He proceeded to karts and won six Polish Championship titles.
In 1998 Robert Kubica won the Italian Karting Championship as the first foreigner in the history of the series and also scored second place in European Championship.
At the end of 1999 he tested a Formula Renault 2000 car for the first time.
In 2002 he won four races and scored second place in Italian Formula Renault 2000.
His move to Formula 3 Euro Series was delayed because of the road accident when he was a passenger in Poland, which left him with severely broken right arm. .
He ended his first, shortened season on the 12th place but ended his second season in Formula 3 Euro Series in a factory Mercedes team in an improved seventh position.
In November 2004 he scored pole position in Macau F3 Grand Prix, then broke the lap record before finishing second.
That earned him a test with the Renault F1 Team in Barcelona and his lap times made such a big impression that three weeks later Kubica was signed by BMW Sauber as their official Friday test driver.
The Polish driver, though, soon found himself in race-seat, replacing the ousted Jacques Villeneuve and he surprised and impressed many when he finished third in the Italian Grand Prix, only his second F1 race.
However, disaster almost struck at the Canadian GP when he suffered a horrific high-speed accident, coming away with nothing more than a sprained ankel.
His lack of injury was testament to the technology used in F1 as his BMW literally broke-up around him as he hit a wall only to somersalt across the track before hitting the wall on the other side.
His damaged ankle and slight concussion, though, kept him out of the USGP but he made his return in France, demonstrating his own mental strength.
Eight points finishes in the remaining 11 races saw Kubica finish the Championship in sixth place behind his team-mate and earned him another season at BMW.
And 2008 season proved to be a rather successful one for Kubica and the team who achieved their first victory at the Canadian GP.
However, a slight slump in form in the latter few races meant he was fourth by the time the season ended in Brazil.BMW are already talking about launching a title challenge in 2009 and, based on last season's results, Kubica can expect to be leading the fight.
