Toyota has announced that Kamui Kobayashi will once again deputise for the injured Timo Glock at this weekends Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Kobayashi made an eye opening debut in Brazil last race, and is believed to be in line for a race seat with the team next season.
Team Principal John Howett said:
“We feel genuinely sorry for Timo that his season, which has included two impressive podium finishes, is ending in this way. Having discussed the medical advice with Timo and his management, the team has decided to take no risk and to put Kamui in the car. Kamui performed well in Brazil in difficult circumstances so we are happy to ask him to once again deputise."
Glock’s position at the team is in question for 2010, as is that of team mate Jarno Trulli, although the young German has been impressive on many occasions this season and is believed to be in talks with a number of teams.
