|
08 March 2010 @ 16:43 GMT - Charles Cooper Kamui Kobayashi has his first full time drive in F1 this season with the Sauber team and will drive alongside Pedro de la Rosa. The Japanese driver is confident of the car's performance this season. He says the outfit is not surprised about the pace of the car and how good it is compared to their rivals. Kobayashi got his big break last year when he was called up to replaced the injured Timo Glock at Toyota. He did a fantastic job and as a result landed the driver with Sauber this season. "We are not surprised about the pace that the car has and how good it is compared to the others. We'll see in Bahrain. What makes me confident is that we haven't struggled with anything in particular," he said. He had the following to say about the pre-season testing: "Well, we have been pretty good. The two Jerez weeks were not ideal, but it was the same for everybody. The Barcelona test compensated a bit and we were able to proceed with our programme," he said. |
