Kobayashi feels ready

Kamui Kobayashi, after having won his place in Formula 1 thanks to good performances during the Brazilian and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix in 2009, will now prepare for the 2010 season as a starting driver. Coveted in the off-season, the Japanese driver preferred Peter Sauber's team to Renault, at a time when the Losange firm's team was in limbo regarding its future. This Tuesday, in Valencia, he will take the wheel of the BMW Sauber C29 and feels good in the shoes of a regular driver.

« It's a chance for me, because I will be able to benefit from a lot of testing before the start of the season, he told itv F1. We enter the season with enough testing to prepare ourselves for it. During my last two races, I didn?t have any tests, so it was difficult. But now, I will have a lot of time and we will be able to develop the car from the start of the season »
