Robert Kubica has hinted that he may be on the move to a different team within Formula One as the Pole looks to secure a race seat for the future. Kubica, who is the current reserve driver for Williams, admitted that his future may reside somewhere else with his options looking limited with the team.

In an interview with Sokolim Okiem, Kubica admitted that he may be on the move once more, having moved from Renault testing role to Williams in a similar capacity in order to gain experience and momentum in his hopeful return to the sport.

"From my perspective, nothing much changes," he said. "I think the coming days or weeks are important as I decide what to do next year. I may be wrong, but I think Williams has different priorities than I do. I do not know why people only associate me with this team."

Dr Helmut Marko hinted that Kubica could be a surprise option for Toro Rosso, with the man himself adding that if Marko was serious about such an offer then he could come and find him between now and the end of the season.

"It's news to me," Kubica said in a separate interview with Turun Sanomat. "I have not heard from Dr Marko, so I'm really not aware of such a possibility. But he knows where to find me if he wants to come and talk.

"My approach is the same as it was three months ago, three weeks ago, three days ago. If one of Williams' seats is vacant, I will be ready. Whether this happens or not is not up to me."
