Kamui Kobayashi
Kamui Kobayashi will make his full-time debut next season after it was confirmed that he will be driving for the Sauber F1 Team in 2010.
The Japanese driver drove as a replacement for the injured Toyota’s Timo Glock at the Brazilian Grand Prix of 2009, where he finished the race in tenth place and was later promoted to ninth. After Glock was declared unfit for the following Abu Dhabi round of the championship, Kobayashi once again stepped into his shoes and took an impressive sixth place as he crossed the line, scoring his first championship points in only his second race.
The 23-year-old was expected to be given a full-time drive for the Toyota team in the 2010 championship until the teams withdrawal from the Formula One series.
Kobayashi said;
“Ever since the start of my career I have dreamed of racing in F1. Now this dream has come true. I am very happy that my two races in 2009 have earned me a cockpit place.
I will do my very best for Peter Sauber’s team and I am proud to be able to carry on flying the Japanese flag in F1.”

I’m so glad to see him with a drive for 2010, he gave us some great overtaking and really has got balls! 2010 is going to be best season yet in my opinion and we need more drivers like Kobayashi!
