Kubica: “Verstappen’s first victory also emotional moment for me”


The course of Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 career can be called impressive to say the least and the Polish Robert Kubica agrees completely. The driver even became emotional with the Dutchman’s first victory in Spain.

Kubica made a comeback in Formula 1 last season, but finally said goodbye to the premier class at the end of 2019. From time to time he still comes into action as an Alfa Romeo test driver, but in general he is involved with DTM. He also keeps a close eye on Verstappen. The Pole is a big fan of the Dutchman and is particularly pleased with his first victory in Spain in 2016. At the time, the Limburger was allowed to take over from Daniil Kvyat at Red Bull and immediately won his first Grand Prix with the big sister team.

“Few people realize what Max has achieved and how quickly he reached an adult level,” says Kubica Formula 1 Magazine. “Verstappen’s victory was a very emotional moment for me too. I was surprised about that myself, those feelings. Even now that I talk about it, I have it again! When you consider all those things, how difficult it was, the pressure under which Max stood, at his age, and the way he raced … Unbelievable! ” finds the Pole.

Since Verstappen has made his appearance in Formula 1, he has a hefty one fanbase created. Kubica can therefore be counted as one of his fans, because he has nothing to say about the Dutchman. “There were some so-called experts in 2016 to criticize his driving style, but I think he did it perfectly.” Those ‘experts’ that the drivers are talking about thought that the Dutchman had a dangerous driving style and that it could all be done a bit less.

This was also due to the fact that Verstappen knew he had to fight for a victory and eventually the title. According to Kubica, the Dutchman therefore opted for a different approach: “Take more risks, go for it. He did, and he did well. Wonderful,” said the former F1 driver.
