Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I timata a Kamui Kobayashi i te 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix mo Toyota Racing whai muri i te whara o te whara mo te taraiwa o te taraiwa Timo Glock. I tiakina ia mo te whakataetae whakamutunga o te waa i Abu Dhabi ka eke ki te tohu-mutunga. I arahina tenei ki te roopu Sauber ki te tiki i a ia mo nga tau e 3 e whai ake nei, i reira i mutu ai ia i nga waahi kaute-tohu ka whai ingoa ia hei kaihauturu o waenga. I whakawhiwhia ia mo ana mahi me te papa i te 2012 Japanese Grand Prix, me etahi atu papa 3 mo te hoa-roopu a Sergio Pérez. Ahakoa tenei, i mahue ia kaore he taraiwa mo te waa 2013. Mo te tau 2014 i hainatia ia ki te backmarker Caterham F1 i te taha o te kaitakaro tuatahi a Marcus Ericsson - ana kaore e taea te whawhai ki te roopu rawakore. I whakakapia ia e André Lotterer mo te huihuinga i Belgium, a noho ana i nga rauna i te United States me Brazil
nā ngā take pūtea o te kapa. Ko te whakataetae whakamutunga a Kobayashi (me Caterham) i mutu i te reti.
