The Polish driver Robert Kubica has confirmed that he will not participate with the AF Corse team in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) in 2027. The news comes after his performance at the 6 Hours of Monza, where he finished in sixth place with the Ferrari 499P #83, along with drivers Phil Hanson and Yifei Ye.
At 41 years old, Kubica made the announcement in a video posted on social media, expressing that this has been his last grand prix with the team. Although he did not want to make a season assessment, he thanked the support received and indicated that he looks forward to what the future holds for him.
Since debuting with the Ferrari team in 2024, Kubica has been a prominent figure, especially for his success in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2025, contributing to Ferrari’s third consecutive victory in this prestigious competition.
However, the 2026 season has been complicated for Kubica’s team, which has experienced a dip in performance compared to other teams from the brand. While the other two Ferrari vehicles have achieved several podiums, Kubica has been limited to two fifth places as his best result during the year.
With his departure from AF Corse, the team has not yet confirmed who will be his successor in the Hypercar. The arrival of new manufacturers such as Ford and McLaren in the Hypercar category may also influence AF Corse’s future participation in the championship.
