""If a chance comes along you have to be ready,"" Japanese driver says
Kamui Kobayashi says he is grateful for the ""chance and circumstances"" that have allowed him to launch his Formula One career full-time in 2010.The 23-year-old Japanese driver put a poor campaign in last year's GP2 Championship firmly behind him when handed his F1 chance by Toyota at the end of the 2009 season.
Called up to replace the injured Timo Glock for the final two races, Kobayashi turned heads with his ability to mix it with the likes of Jenson Button in Brazil before finishing sixth - ahead of team-mate Jarno Trulli - in Abu Dhabi.
