2020 has kicked off on a high note for Robert Kubica, as it has officially been confirmed that he has joined Alfa Romeo as a reserve driver. What actually triggered the move was his backers, PKN Orlen joined the Swiss-Italian team as the official co-title sponsor. The Polish petroleum giant signed a multi-year deal with Alfa Romeo and the team will be rebranded, Alfa Romeo Racing Orlen. With this new marriage, PKN Orlen branding will be visible once the team launches its 2020 challenger, the C39. Many would be glad to see Robert Kubica return to the team that handed him his Formula One debut and first win several years ago. Given his experience, Kubica will surely be a vital asset for the team, and with two experienced drivers in the team, their inputs will be valuable for Alfa and even Antonio Giovinazzi According to team principal Frédéric Vasseur, the partnership with PKN Orlen [https://www.orlen.pl/en/pages/default.aspx] is a declaration of their desire to improve. He also stated that the team were over the moon to welcome back Robert Kubica and the crew are eager to work alongside him. Meanwhile, Robert Kubica himself was relieved to wipe the slate clean and forget all his woes at Williams in 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/robert-kubica-closed-the-most-important-chapter-of-my-life-with-f1-return/]. He said, “I am really happy to be starting this new chapter in my career as I join Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN. This team holds a special place in my heart and I am pleased to see some faces still here from my years in Hinwil.” He confessed that a lot has changed since he was last associated with the team, previously known as Sauber. However, he remains convinced that he will be just as hungry and motivated to succeed with the outfit. As mentioned before, it will also be a huge boon to Alfa Romeo to have two experienced heads like Kimi Raikkonen and Robert Kubica, with young blood in Antonio Giovinazzi

<h2>Alfa Romeo: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
Although the Italian team joined F1 in 2019, they have a rich history in the sport. The team raced in the inaugural season of Formula One. That year, they won at the hands of Guiseppe Farina.

However, they stuck around only till 1951 before they left the sport as a manufacturer. The Italian marquee returned in 1979 and raced until 1985, though they did not meet the same amount of success.

The 2019 season was the third time that the Alfa Romeo name returned to Formula One.

Alfa Romeo entered the 2020 season with an unchanged driver lineup. In January 2020, the team announced that they would enter a title sponsorship arrangement with Polish oil company PKN Orlen and that Robert Kubica would join as a reserve driver.

Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi currently drive for the Hinwil-based outfit.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Having had the privilege of competing in the first-ever Formula One season, Alfa Romeo were one of the teams to beat. They even racked up 10 wins, with one being shared by Luigi Fagioli and Juan Manuel Fangio.

To date, Fangio's win in Spain in 1951 remains the team's last win. Meanwhile, Ricardo Patrese scored the team's last podium in 1984. Since its return once again, the team's best position was 4th and 5th in Brazil 2019.

Unfortunately, the team have dropped down the order this season by virtue of Ferrari's engine woes. So far, the Swiss-based outfit have scored mere eight points in the 2020 season.
<h2><strong>Alfa Romeo's Sponsors</strong></h2>
Alfa Romeo's title sponsor is PKN Orlen, who recently signed on after leaving Williams F1.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport. It has produced champions like Fangio, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ayrton-senna/">Ayrton Senna</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alain-prost/">Alain Prost</a>, Schumacher, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and many many more.

<h2><strong>Robert Kubica 2021: </strong><strong>Net Worth, Salary and Endorsement</strong></h2>
Robert Kubica made his return to Formula One in 2019. His first taste of an F1 car was when he signed with Renault as a test driver.

Sadly, his comeback only lasted a single year following a frustrating time with the Williams Formula 1 team. The Polish driver currently features on the Alfa Romeo roster as a reserve driver.
<h2>Robert Kubica: Stats and Achievements</h2>
A year later, he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/sauber/">Sauber</a> in the capacity of a test driver, yet again. 2007 was his first full-time season, and he proved to be a decent driver.

However, he suffered a horrific crash at the Canadian Grand Prix that effectively shelved him for the United States Grand Prix.

Incidentally, it also introduced the Formula One world to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>. H. His return to France saw a new and improved man. He stayed with Sauber until 2009, subsequently he moved to Renault for a year.

Sadly, a rally accident in early 2011 put a damper on his Formula 1 hopes and dreams for a painfully long time. But life gave him a second chance with a seat at <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/">Williams</a> in 2019.

He is currently the reserve and test driver for the Alfa Romeo F1 team.

After his accident, he won the 2013 World Rally Championship-2. With regard to his F1 results, his maiden podium came in his third race for the BMW team.

He has one career win to his name, at the 2008 Canadian GP, barely a year after his horror crash at the same track. Kubica has also amassed 11 podiums in five years.

Mere days after completing his preseason test with Renault, Kubica was involved in a horrifying rally accident in 2011. The Pole was competing in the Ronde di Andorra rally in Italy when a tricky right-hander effectively ended his hopes of a competitive future in F1.
<h2>Robert Kubica: Canada and Rally crash</h2>
Whilst negotiating a fast turn at high speed, Robert lost control of his car and slammed into the barrier. The impact and timing of the crash resulted in a barrier impaling the car and Kubica's right arm in the process.

Kubica sustained multiple fractures to his shoulder, arms, and legs. However, the biggest injury was to his right hand, which was partially amputated.

But this wasn't Kubica's first near brush with death. At the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, Kubica suffered a massive crash after tangling with Jarno Trulli towards the hairpin at the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit. Thankfully, he wasn't seriously injured.
