The last two seasons for Robert Kubica have seen two halves. Going from a celebrated hero to an unappealing zero, his career was forced into jeopardy.

The exit of BMW left him and teammate Nick Heidfeld under a cloud of doubt. Would their careers be sustained amongst the various emerging talents within the sport after a season of turmoil?  

Kubica proved more successful than his former teammate, as Renault snapped him up relatively quickly after last season.

Then there was the crash-gate controversy that put immense pressure on Renault and their future prospects. Kubica’s position on the 2010 grid was again thrust into doubt. He was left with a decision to stay with what could have been a sinking ship, or to look elsewhere with the limited availability of seats left to be taken.

With Renault’s disastrous 2009 season saved by the world-class talent of Fernando Alonso, few would have thought it a poor decision if Kubica had chosen to run from the fiasco. Yet he has remained faithful to the team amidst their acquisition by Genii Capital, and now looks ahead to the 2010 season.

So as the circus heads effortlessly around the world, will the Polish driver fare well in a season that promises to be almost as unpredictable as the previous one, with new teams included and with new rules to adhere to? Or will he continue on the depressing decline evidently begun towards the end of the 2008 season?

 

His Former Reputation

When 2008 began, most expected a continued dominance by Ferrari and McLaren to provide the focal point of the action. Yet BMW gladly provided a spanner in the works, as their vastly improved cars were executed beautifully by their two drivers.

While Heidfeld had looked the strongest in previous seasons, it was Kubica who came into his own. A run of consecutive points and podium finishes elevated his reputation.
