KAMUI KOBAYASHI
2012
Initially left playing catch-up to podium finishing team mate Perez thanks to mix of poor luck and inconsistency, but fourth-place finish in Hockenheim boosts spirits and then scores maiden F1 podium at home race. Dropped by Sauber for 2013.
2011
Maintains reputation as one of F1's most aggressive & entertaining racers, scoring in seven of first 11 races, despite only occasional Q3 appearances. Results tail off as team loses out in late-season development race. Twelfth overall, outscoring rookie team mate Perez two to one.
2010
Continues to astound with raw pace and audacious overtaking. Gives BMW Sauber first Q3 showing of 2010 with P9 in Malaysia, but poor reliability sees him retire from six of the first 12 races. Points come as car improves, including sixth at Silverstone. Retained for 2011.
2009
