Kobayashi confirmed at Sauber

The BMW Sauber F1 Team has issued a confirmation of Kobayashi's seat, as we predicted 2 days ago...
Kamui Kobayashi said:
"Ever since the start of my career I have dreamed of racing in Formula 1. Now this dream has come true.
I am very happy that my two races in 2009 have earned me a cockpit place. I will do my very best for Peter Sauber’s team and I am proud to be able to carry on flying the Japanese flag in Formula 1."
Peter Sauber: "I’m very much looking forward to working together with Kamui. In the final two Grand Prix of last season he was granted an
unexpected chance to show his skills, and he made impressive use of it. Particularly in the Abu Dhabi race he demonstrated not only that he
can drive fast and aggressively, but also his ability to successfully
implement a strategy. I am convinced he has a great deal of potential
and will be able to make the most of it in our team."
More to follow very soon

Just wonder if there's some sponsorship money behind too (and I'm not, only, talking about Panasonic)...
Racing against the machine!
Peter cannot afford missing at least one paid driver to balance books next year
Is it the best choice of the drivers available ? I doubt that but the PANASONIC money can repair the cars he will take out during his learning curve,
Will he learn and do well ? I think he might, so we can hold our breath through the first turns and hope Nick isn't caught up in any of his moves.
Wish his holiness Schumacher would sign so Nick isn't standing around with his finger in his ear waiting.
Maybe if Renault confirms Villeneuve, Micheal will sign to steal Jacques thunder two minutes later.

Ah, and Toyota "helped" during the negotiations...

A good choice for a pay driver for sure, he did well for Toyota, hope he will carry like that next season.

Actually it seems it isn't Panasonic the ones putting the money. We should learn more soon

Are you stringing us along or do you actually know something?
If so can we please have a clue?
But I got it from two sources. One of them I can't tell you, and the other one is F1scoop which is someone working "inside the paddock" that gotten things right in the past.
So from what I understand neither Panasonic nor KDDI are putting their sponsorship on Sauber, which doesn't mean that another -Japanese- company isn't.

The sponsor announcements will come later and it will be said that Kobayashi's star power in Japan and visibility in the media since being announced as race driver were what enticed the company to sponsor the team, when we all knew they came as a package.
