Robert Kubica has announced his exit from AF Corse’s Ferrari 499P project, bringing to a close a three-year spell with the Italian manufacturer’s satellite Hypercar program.
The Polish driver, renowned for clinching last year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans in the No. 83 machine alongside Phil Hanson and Yifei Ye, disclosed the development via an Instagram video after Sunday’s FIA World Endurance Championship season finale, the 6 Hours of Monza, where the trio finished sixth.
“This is the final race finished, the last season completed,” Kubica stated. “I’m not usually inclined to wrap things up, and I don’t intend to recap the year, but I want you to know this has been my final race in the yellow livery.”
“That’s how it stands. Let’s wait and see what the future holds.”
Kubica’s successor remains unnamed for the moment, though both Hanson and Ye are expected to stay on, having recently secured or extended contracts as Ferrari factory drivers.
As for his own future, Kubica acknowledged that it remains uncertain.
“I don’t know exactly what I will be doing,” he said in a statement provided by AF Corse. “I have a fairly clear idea of what I would like to pursue.”
“I would love to come back here, but I’m not sure if that will be the case. We will have to see. I have always said Le Mans is the race I would like to attempt again and try to win.”
“I have consistently delivered in every edition I contested in LMP2 or Hypercar. It would be great to have the opportunity, and I would certainly like to compete at Le Mans, perhaps more than once.”
“Realistically, we will have to wait to see what the future will bring.”
