New BMW Sauber driver Kamui Kobayashi
New BMW Sauber driver Kamui Kobayashi has said that he does not plan to change his very aggressive driving style.
The Japanese driver impressed last year, even though he only drove in 2 races, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. His extreme driving style won him many instant fans, including myself. To put it this way, in only his second race, he got past the newly crowned world champion, Jenson Button.
Because he needed to perform well to get a seat for 2010, many people feared that he would become less aggressive. However, Kamui disagrees, saying:
“I don’t think it is something special for me, it’s just my style. I will keep like this, of course without crashing. It is my style and I won’t change.”
He also feels that he is better prepared this season:
“We come in to this season having enough time to prepare for it,” Kobayashi said. “The last two races [last year] I had no testing, so it was really difficult, but now I have so many tests and we can work with the car from the beginning of the season.”
Kobayashi said that he was unwilling to make predictions for 2010 before testing, but said:
“I will try to be the first Japanese driver to win, this is my ultimate goal. But at the moment it is too far away to think about that and I am just focused on my tests now.”
My analysis of his driving style staying is short and sweet: Yay!
