F1 Driver Robert Kubica in BMW M4 on the Nürburgring! | Fast&Fun

Robert Kubica randomly walked in and asked if he could have a car. I randomly asked if I could join him for a lap. The rest is history.

Get in touch with me on social:

Robert Kubica managed to do 36 laps with us.

After watching this, I realized I dont need a supercar, I need to learn how to drive

[_sneer_]

That M4 needed a cigarette after all that pounding

[Valcurion]

Really drastic example of the difference between a world class racer and enthusiasts. Incredible how he pushes the car at all times.

[bbelilovsky]

This is a man that reached the highest level of racing in multiple disciplines which are wildly different, and kept on going even after suffering near fatal crashes. Mad respect for Kubica!

[l.carroll]

The 1.6K dislikes are from all of the cars Kubica passed on that lap.

[Kubica walks into racecar rental company]
manager: you gonna need an instructor
kubica: why? to teach him how to drive?

Kubica is an amazing driver, he was destined for Ferrari before his awful accident in Rally, he was so fast and in my opinion would have been a multiple world champion in F1 he was that good, all the F1 drivers feared his raw speed

[comeberza]

I come to this video from time to time. We need to see more f1 pilots driving "normal" cars to really understand how good they are. the control he has at any given point is unreal.

[randomdude]

He knows exactly how the car is going to react to whatever he’s about to do and corrects it BEFORE it happens. World class skills.

When Misha stops talking u know it s very ku rwa fast

I'm 51 years old, and I grew up watching Senna on F-1, and I remember Mr. Kubica piloting on F-1, too.
He's not under-rated as told by someone here on the comments. In my heart, Mr. Kubica is one of the finest ex-F-1 pilots of a great era.
And as said, I'm 51 years old. I've read a lot about polish fighter pilots of WWII, that were based on Great Britain. They were greatest fighter pilots, too. I believe "speed" is on polish veins.

Wow. F1 drivers are a level above. His driving is utterly fearless..and such a light touch on the steering wheel. Incredible.

[XmvwX]

That's really impressive!

Key elements of good driving:
1) He uses the FULL space available of the track corners and is comfortable using a range of lines that suits the car through each.
2) He realizes the inherent understeer of the car, even on throttle, and manages the front tire grip limit very well through corners and places the car very well on intended lines while using most of the available tire grip and handling balance. He also recognizes this quite early on and adjusts his driving quickly to it. Even near the end when the rear tires start to get a little hot and the car will oversteer a little, he adjusts quickly and manages it well.
3) He bleeds off very little speed up to corners and is quite good at keeping momentum. He also seems to deliberately enter corners slightly fast and is willing to make small adjustments mid if needed or the girp isn't there.
4) He accelerates VERY early out of corners and even into and mid corner as available with the track space.
5) He has decent understanding of the track to know how to enter and come out of corners and can pretty comfortably manage car speed and placement through corners.
6) He is very deliberate in driving inputs. Short of inputs managing grip of the front tires and driving line, he applies very few actual inputs and extremely few corrections. Actions are very deliberate with specific intent. This is a BIG area that differentiates very good drivers from ok drivers. Even things like choice of application speed plays a role, not just the amount of input.
7) He is doing all of this while still driving the car relatively light. This is him maybe at 70%. He's not taking chances or doing anything wild or outside of the scope of what he can easily see. Even so, he still does all of the above well with low risk and clean, simple driving.

This is just really, really good driving.

lmao this guy trusts the car more than most people trust other humans.

[SebastianPolakk]

Interview with Hamilton "I've never seen anything like it. I had a big team of people helping me with my kart and race preparation, but this Polish kid shows up with just his dad and a beat-up kart. Kubica's dad even fixed the kart himself, and I still lost to him. I don't know what it was about him, but he was just so fast. He had this natural talent, and he was always so determined to win."

[acceptgarbage]

Most people here don't know but he's had one of the worst crashes in motorsport history and can still drive at such insane level is amazing

[brianmakomva]

Best laps around the Nurburgring I’ve ever seen. Robert is still a mega driver

[ReaperLPN]

Robert is one of the most underrated drivers of all time. Absolute machine.

[mr_b_hhc]

Every... single... corner. Truly driving on the limit of the car's capabilities.
