Sauber have deal with Japan's Kamui Kobayashi as one of their two race drivers for the 2010 Formula 1 2010 season.Kobayashi, overcome for Toyota even as standing in for the injured Timo Glock in the final 2 races of 2009.
Ever since the start of my career I have dreamed of racing in Formula 1, said Kobayashi.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 Formula 1."
Kobayashi is the first driver to join the Sauber, which is back in the ownership of founder Peter Sauber after BMW withdrew from F1 at the end of the last season.He had been tipped to land a race drive for Toyota after his eye-catching display in Abu Dhabi, but his hopes were dashed when the Japanese manufacturer followed BMW in quitting the sport.Sauber said he was won over by Kobayashi's performances in Brazil and Abu Dhabi."Particularly in the Abu Dhabi race, Kamui demonstrated not only that he can drive fast and aggressively, but also his ability to successfully implement a strategy," he said.
