Was Robert Kubica the best Ferrari driver over the full course of the 2025 World Endurance Championship? Probably not. But did he stand head and shoulders above the others when it mattered most? Absolutely.
The Pole was in superlative form at the double-points Le Mans 24 Hours round as he played the starring role in AF Corse’s victory with the non-works satellite entry he shared with Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson. He really did make the factory drivers look a bit ordinary. He saved the Prancing Horse’s bacon in a race that it would have been careless to lose given the pace advantage of its 499P Le Mans Hypercar for the majority of the going.
