"Watch out for him at the first turn…" Kobayashi passes both Red Bulls in his last F1 race for Sauber.

Lewis Hamilton follows behind, then Alonso, then Vettel. Kobayashi is right behind Sebastian Vettel. They need to watch out for him. I'm sure at the first turn, the safety car will peel off, and racing will resume once again here in Sao Paulo. Jenson Button is probably a bit too far back to make a move into the first turn, but already behind, Kobayashi has got a great start on Vettel. Mark Webber makes it three abreast going into the Senna S's. Kobayashi on the inside, Webber's off the track. Kobayashi makes the place, and Webber loses about four of them into the first turn.
