Former F1 star Robert Kubica has turned down lucrative offers to race in Formula E \u2013 because he reckons it would be like bonking an inflatable doll. <\/p>\n

The Polish driver was hot property in the late 2000s and early 2010s, driving for BMW Sauber and Renault, with many branding him a future world champion. But his career, and life, was put at risk when he suffered a horrifying rally driving crash in 2011, which almost saw him lose his right arm.<\/p>\n

Kubica battled back to fitness and had a season with F1 backmarkers Williams in 2019 before leaving the struggling team. At 38, he remains active in other forms of motorsport and is set to race a Ferrari hypercar in the World Endurance Championship in 2024.<\/p>\n

However, he won\u2019t racing in the Formula E series anytime soon, judging by recent comments. Kubica, a racing purist, said the lack of noise created by the all-electric cars is a really turn-off .<\/p>\n

He told the Gurulandia podcast: "I am not against having electric cars on a circuit, but I have had several offers and I have rejected a lot of money. For me, a competitive car must make noise. I have a saying, which I think is wrong to say too loudly, but running there is a bit like having sex with an inflatable doll.<\/p>\n
