Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

he does have a very unique way of driving, but he does have good speed i hope he gets picked up by someone maybe one of the new teams,

Answer 2

Addman: Toro Rosso have confirmed they are keeping both of this years drivers for next year.

The new teams would have been looking at drivers before Kobayashi came along in Brazil.
Mclaren I hope will go with Raikkonen. So it may well be down to Force India or one of the new teams may decide to pick him up because I think he would be a great investment.

Answer 3

Mclaren, Force India, Torro Rosso, Campos, USF1 and Lotus all have vacant seats at the moment. With the withdrawal of Toyota, Sauber may or may not be given the 13th team spot.

I doubt Mclaren would take him because they seam to be after Kimi, but I think any one of the others would love to have him.

Let the bidding war begin.

Answer 4

I thought it was only appropriate that Toyota gave him a second drive, and he proved he was worth the faith by getting 3 points, which is very commendable for a rookie.
I think a lot depends on Jensen and Kimi, both of whom seem to be wanting to be well paid. My guess is he will be picked up by one of the new teams, e.g. Lotus.

Answer 5

There are still a lot of vacant seats at present. I would be surprised if we will not see him on the grid next year after his performances in Brazil and Abu Dhabi. I think several teams are more than convinced with his driving ability and they would likely take him to drive for them.

Answer 6

The nearest customer in the Sushi restaurant when he falls over after hearing the shocking news of Toyota`s F1 demise.

Hopefully he will get a seat in something reasonably competitive, I feel he has a touch of Senna about him.

Answer 7

Kamui will be either in an F1 car of one of the four new teams or competing in Formula Nippon and Super GT for TOM'S next season, or else he will be working at his father's sushi bar.

Answer 8

Unless he has a bag full of cash. His F1 career maybe done and dusted. Peter Windsor of USF1 team stated he had drivers coming to him with $10 million US to try and get a starting spot on his new team.
