Taking advantage of the mid-season break, on Tuesday Kamui Kobayashi returned to his hometown, Amagasaki in Japan.
Check out this set of photos to get a glimpse of the fandemonium ... or, should I say, Kobayashimania!

Kamui returns to his hometown

Japanese people with cameras??? Pah, I'm used to it in London. That said Kobayashimania is set to take over the world, and increase the export of his family's sushi in the process. Good for him.

Yep in that very first race. I hadn't even joined Rejects then, so thought no one else had noticed.

Assuming, of course, that you've discounted a certain Captain from those numbers...

"The problem with Grosjean is that he want to take a look back at the corner he's just exited"
