Kobayashi remains positive after unfortunate result in race 2
19 October 2008 / Results / PhotosThis weekend Kamui Kobayashi scored DAMS's first rostrum finish of the 2008-09 Asian GP2 Series Championship in the opening round on the Shanghai circuit. The Japanese driver who started from second place on the grid in Saturday's race was in the lead for a long time. He lost a place after the race restarted following a safety car intervention. Today, Kobayashi wasn't so lucky. He made a good start and then fell back a few places when he had to avoid a spinning car. After that, he hit debris from another competitor and had to retire due to the damage this caused. He leaves Shanghai in third place in the drivers' ratings.
Kamui Kobayashi commented after Sunday's race: "It's been a good week for me as I was fighting at the front in practice, qualifying and the race. Of course, it's infuriating not to have won yesterday especially after leading the race for so long. But I showed how quick I was by setting the fastest lap. Today, things didn't go off as well but it would have been difficult to score points after the first lap incident. Overall, it's been a very positive weekend and I reckon we've got a good chance of winning the title this season."
