Robert Kubica has shed some light on his split with World Rallyꦑ Championship squad A-St🐷yle, explaining he had 'no other options' but to switch to M-Sport support.

The former F1 Grand Prix winner 💫began the 2015 WRC season as a privateer entry under the A-Style banner but after a dismal run of results he🐠 opted for a last-minute pull-out of Rally Argentina so he could restructure his squad.

The Polish driver returned for Rally Portugal with an updated Ford Fiesta RS WRCꦰ with support from factory squad M-Sport. As a result he notched up his best result of the year, a ninth place finish, and post-Portugal says he made the decision to switch from A-Style because it was the only suitable setup open to him.

"It's not that I did it because I wanted. The situation came to the place where there were no other options," Kubica told WRC.com. "This car has been built together wit൩h the M-Sport guys and we are supported by some M-Sport people."

The BMW and Renault F1 driver has also mov💧ed his RK World Rally Team to Italy because of the country's logistical l💎inks with the rest of Europe.

The move reconnects previous links with M-Sport, whom he competed with under the RK 🧜M-Sport World Rally team bann💟er in 2014 after splitting from the Citroen factory squad.

Reflecting on his ninth place finish at Rally Portug🉐al, the 30-year-old hails it as one of his b♔est career finishes in the premier class of rallying.

"It ♓was definitely one of my best rallies because I felt like I was driving w🌄ell with everything that we had, the grip level and the balance of the car," he added. "Maybe the final position is not confirming it but it was a really good weekend from a driving point of view."

Kubica will hope to build on the positive result at this month's Rally I🎃talia Sardegna, which will🔴 act as round six of the 2015 championship and is scheduled for the 11-14 June.
