AF Corse retains Kubica for Ferrari Hypercar
Former Formula 1 and WRC driver Robert Kubica is set to return to the FIA WEC's Hypercar class in 2025 with AF Corse. The 39-year-old Polish racer will share the team's No. 83 Ferrari 499P Hypercar with Yifei Ye and new signee Phil Hanson.
The renewal of Kubica's contract at AF Corse follows a strong 2024 campaign with Ye and Robert Shwartzman, who has departed the team for a seat in IndyCar with PREMA. Their season was headlined by an overall race win in the Lone Star Le Mans race at Circuit of The Americas (pictured above, with Kubica atop the car) and a pair of class wins in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar teams.
“I am very happy to be able to continue this experience with AF Corse at the wheel of the Ferrari 499P," he said. "When we started the project everything was new. Today we find ourselves with 12 months of hard work behind us, a lot of experiences both positive and negative that we will use to improve and to face the FIA WEC in 2025.
"It will definitely be a very challenging season, but with the experience we have gained this year we are confident that we can do a better job."
