Haas would consider hand꧃ing Robert Kubica a Formula 1 role within its team for the 2020 season.

Kubica made a remarkable return to grand prix racing this year but his comeback has been somewhat overshadowed by uncompetitive Williams machinery, with the British squad languishing at the bot🌌tom of the F1 pecking order throughout 2019.

The 34-year-old Pole announced over the Singapore Grand Prix weekend that he will be leaving Williams at the end of the season. Kubica wants t▨o continue racing in another series but has made it clear he would like to remain in F1 in some capacity should an attractive opportunity arise.

Kubica spend a year as test and development driver for Williams in 20𒁏18 prior to his full-time return to the grid and his technical feedback and knowledge is considered to be one of his strongest assets.

Asked if Haas would consider Kubica ꦑin a test role, Haas t🌸eam principal Guenther Steiner replied: “Yeah, for sure.

“I never worked with Robert personally but a lot of people in my team did and t💝hey all rate him very highly for his ski🍨lls as a technical driver who knows what the car is doing.

“He came up the hard🀅 way, working on his own cars, becau🧸se he had to when he was young. I think it’s interesting for us to work with Robert. It’s more his decision than my one.

“Negotiating is one thing, I speak with him a♏nd w♌e talked,” Steiner added. “If he has got interest he should let me know - but we are not negotiating yet.”

Kubica r🌠emained coy on the subject when pressed on potential links to Haas but said he hopes to have made progress regarding his 2020 plans i🍎n the coming weeks.

“I 🍒think it’s too easy to take conclusions of the words of someone else regarding what I want to do and what I don’t want to do,” he explained.

“I think it’s correct that I k♛eep it for myself what I want to do and what is in my mind. It is very simple.

“Sometimes it is more simple than it looks from outside and sometimes we need to do step-by-step and𓄧 not three steps in one go, so I think as I said, we will have to just wait and see.

“I don’t know what Guenther said but I know what I think, what I want to do, I know what is possible realistically and then we will see if this puzzle will be together or not.

“As I said in Singapore, I would be surprised if I would not be racing next year, but a lot will depend on what will be possible and of course we can talk about what I would l꧋ike to do but there is no point as at the end you have to choose between what is on the table.”
