Robert Kub💮ica has shed some light on his split with World Rally Championship squad A-Style, explaining he💫 had 'no other options' but to switch to M-Sport support.

The formerℱ 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 WRC 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 fr🍬om 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 with the M-Sport guys and we are suppoꦫ💙rted by some M-Sport people."

The BMW and Renault F1 drive♐r has also moved his RK World Rally Team to Italy bec🅺ause of the country's logistical links with the rest of Europe.

The move reconnects previouജs links with M-Sport, whom he competed with under the RK M-S🌠port World Rally team banner in 2014 after splitting from the Citroen factory squad.

Reflecting on his ninth place finish at Rally Portugal, the 30-ye𝔉ar-oꦬld hails it as one of his best career finishes in the premier class of rallying.

"It was definitely one of my best rallies because I felt like I was driving well with everything that we had, t꧒he grip level and the bal🧔ance 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 wil💞l ho🌺pe to build on the positive result at this month's Rally Italia Sardegna, which will act as round six of the 2015 championship and is scheduled for the 11-14 June.
