Robert Kubica is still targeting a race seat in Formula One despite settling for a testing role with Williams in 2018.
Kubica's remarkable return to Formula One almost looked complete at the end of last year as he vied with Sergey Sirotkin for the last remaining seat on the 2018 grid with Williams. However, after analysing data from a post-season test in Abu Dhabi, Williams decided to opt for the 22-year-old Russian this year and offer Kubica a reserve and development role for 2018.
In his new position with the team, Kubica will drive at pre-season and in-season tests as well as during a number of Friday practice sessions.
