Former F1 star Robert Kubica is looking for a Formula E race seat, reports German motoring magazine Auto Bild.

The Polish racing driver finished fourth in the F1 drivers’ championship in 2008 and won the Canadian GP in the same year. He is currently competing in WRC but could be set to switch to electric racing if he could find a seat.

Is the rallying career of Robert Kubica coming to an end? The Pole shared a brief message on Facebook: “I’m sorry that I have to confirm that we will not participate in this year’s Rally Sweden.”

Auto Build Motorsport believes that the former Formula 1 driver does not have enough sponsorship to make a second start after his appearance at the opening rally of 2016 in Monte Carlo. The 31 year old could be going back to his roots, however.

The rumour is that Kubica is actively searching for a way into Formula E. Five years after his serious rally accident in Italy, in which Kubica seriously injured his hand – at one point, amputation looked likely – the winner of the 2008 Canada F1 GP could make a comeback in formula cars.

Due to the impaired movement of his hand, Kubica moved to rallying after the crash cut short his F1 career. His biggest success there came with a title win in WRC-2 in 2013.
