Every June, drivers from different countries compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France. Established more than 100 years ago, the endurance race is won by the car covering the greatest distance in 24 hours.

But on his fifth trip to Le Mans, Kubica took overall victory during the same weekend when F1 hosted its Canadian race – the site of the Pole’s sole grand prix win, which came in 2008 and briefly took him to the top of the drivers’ standings.

Fernando Alonso labelled Sunday a "good day for motorsport" after former Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica won the Le Mans 24 Hours.
