Kubica confirms AF Corse exit after WEC finale

2025 Le Mans 24 hours winner Robert Kubica has confirmed that he will not return to AF Corse’s privately entered No. 83 Ferrari 499P Hypercar in next year’s FIA World Endurance Championship following the conclusion of the 2026 season at Monza last night.

“That's the final race done. Just to let you know, this has been my last race in yellow,” the 41-year-old said in a video posted to social media. “Let’s see what the future will bring. Thank you for your support and see you soon."

Kubica has been ever-present in the No. 83 499P since it joined the Hypercar field ahead of the 2024 season. During that time, he won Le Mans in 2025 en route to a runner-up finish in the Hypercar Drivers' World Championship and Lone Star Le Mans at CoTA the year prior, which was the 499P's first victory outside of Le Mans.

Kubica shared the No. 83 499P with Ferrari factory driver Ye Yifei for all three campaigns, with Robert Shwartzman joining them in 2024 and Phil Hanson, also part of the brand's factory roster, completing the line-up in the past two seasons.

The 2026 season was difficult for Kubica, Ye and Hanson, with top-five finishes at São Paulo and Barcelona as the only highlights.

Kubica has not indicated his 2027 racing plans.
