Kubica To Receive Annual Lorenzo Bandini Trophy BMW Motorsport

Robert Kubica will arrive in style when he accepts the annual Lorenzo Bandini trophy in the Italian town of Brisighella on Sunday.

BMW Sauber announced in a statement that Kubica will drive the 11 kilometres from Faenza to Brisighella, the late Bandini’s home town, in a Formula One car.

Kubica was chosen as the recipient of this year’s award following his strong 2007 performances and winning such a tradition-rich trophy means a lot to the 23-year-old Pole: “This is a big honour for me, and it comes as a surprise given the rather disappointing season I had in 2007. It’s great that some people seem to believe in me and my abilities.

“I am particularly pleased that this award also has to do with my ‘performance’ off the race track - and that attitudes and actions that I don’t really stop to think about have earned me an award like this. I’m really looking forward to the drive, too. That will be the icing on the cake!”

Kubica isn’t the only BMW Sauber team member to be honoured at the event - Peter Sauber will be picking up a trophy too, for his lifetime achievements.
