Kamui Kobayashi has thanked the fans who donated money at the end of 2012 in a bid help keep him in F1, after Caterham's new signing confirmed the funds raised had made a direct influence on his return to the sport.

"He is a very popular driver and it's very good for the whole team we've been able to attract such an exciting driver to join us at a critical point in our development. His pace speaks for itself, and his extensive experience of developing cars, particularly in his years with Toyota, will be incredibly important for us as we tackle one of the most challenging seasons F1 has ever embarked upon."
