Caterham Formula 1 team confirmed Wednesday that Japanese Kamui Kobayashi would drive the No. 10 car.
Kobayashi was pushed aside by the new management team in Belgium to make way for rookie Andre Lotterer.
The team apparently tried to run Roberto Mehri in Italy, but the Spaniard did not have a super licence to race in Formula 1.
For this weekends’ race, Kobayashi will be behind the wheel of the Renault-powered CT05 alongside Marcus Ericsson.
“I always like the Singapore Grand Prix because it’s a night race and its festive atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights of the season. It’s a very technical track, with lots of changes of direction, and it’s a challenging race for everyone,” said Kobayashi.
“After finishing ahead of our closest rivals in Italy, I look forward to another good fight out on track in Singapore – it will be good to see what we are capable of with the updated car at the Marina Bay Street Circuit – at street circuits anything can happen and we need to make sure we do our best.”
