Kamui Kobayashi has yet to stand on an F1 podium, but he has proved to be one of the most exciting things to have happened to the sport in recent years. His never-say-die approach has delivered plenty of spectacular moments on track - and he has proved that overtaking is still possible. As he enters only his second full season in the sport he is team leader at Sauber, so the pressure is on him to prove that he can match his on-track antics with the off-track intelligence and dedication to drive forward development.
