Alfa Romeo will have two new names driving for them next year in the form of Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou. However, there is one aspect of the Swiss-based team that will stay the same, and that is their title sponsor Orlen. As a result, Robert Kubica will continue to be their reserve driver for the 2022 season as well. However, the Polish driver won’t regularly feature during a Grand Prix weekend but will take part in long-distance racing. Additionally, Kubica’s goal is to take part in Le Mans and win the championship. ROBERT KUBICA WILL STILL BE A PART OF ALFA ROMEO IN 2022 With Zhou reportedly bringing in additional cash into the Swiss-based team, many assumed that Orlen would part ways with them. However, it continues to be their title sponsor for next season as well and has kept Kubica as the reserve driver for 2022. He said [https://twitter.com/SokolimOkiem/status/1463421096787685376?s=20], “In the 2022 season I will still be a reserve driver in F1, but the main task will be racing, it will be my priority – racing at the highest level. I would like to come back to Le Mans and win the Le Mans 24 hours. I decided to stay with the long-distance races.” “In long-distance racing in the 2022 season, I will remain in the LMP2 category, it will be the best solution for me,” Kubica explained.

With the new regulations being brought to the grid next year, Alfa Romeo hopes that the extremely talented duo can take them to new heights next season.

<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.

<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.

<h2>Robert Kubica: 2021 Net Worth</h2>
Driving for Williams in the 2019 season, Kubica <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2019/03/12/2019-f1-driver-salaries-dont-believe-clickbait/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">made</a> approximately $1 million.

Prior to his Formula One debut, he won the 2005 Formula Renault 3.5 series. In his F1 tenure, he had a career-high ranking of 4th in 2008.
