JAPANESE Formula One driver Kamui Kobayashi said yesterday he would sit out the 2013 season after being unable to find a team to drive for.
The 26-year-old had been part of the Sauber-Ferrari team since the 2010 season, but left after being replaced by Esteban Gutierrez. "I was in the position to bring a budget of eight million euros (US$10.5 million) at least," he wrote on his official website. "Unfortunately, I am not able to secure a seat with a competitive F1 team for 2013." Meanwhile, team Lotus signed up the talented if sometimes reckless French driver Romain Grosjean for another season on Monday ending several weeks of speculation over his future.
