Kobayashi in Abu Dhabi

After making a convincing debut at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Kamui Kobayashi will once again be able to showcase his abilities in Abu Dhabi where he will once again replace Timo Glock, who has not yet fully recovered from his accident during qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix.

« We are disappointed that Timo's season ended this way. We talked with the doctors and Timo and the team decided not to take any risks », a déclaré John Howett, le président de Toyota. " Kamui will be in the car. He put in a great performance in Brazil in difficult circumstances and we are happy to ask him to race again. »

The Japanese qualified in eleventh position at Interlagos then crossed the finish line in ninth place, finishing just outside the points for her first GP start.
