The Ford Fiesta RS WRC-driving Pole, who starred on the season-opening Monte Carlo Rally, has established the RK World Rally Team for 2015 and, while he remains in the thick of things between events, he says his driving job will always come first.

“As soon as I get to the pre-event test or the recce,” he said, “I am the driver and I am doing my job. But between these events, I am busy doing a lot of other things. I’m not a businessman. I’m not a team principal, I don’t have the mentality for that. But at the moment, we are still building the team and I have some experience from the different teams I drove in, which can be useful. But I am the driver. What we have done is the best thing for this year and maybe for the future, but it’s only for my car. This is the plan for the moment.”

Kubica posted four fastest times in the French Alps, but was out of contention for an overall position after he slid off the road on the opening night
