 Spaniard Roberto Merhi, the 23-year-old who looks likely to race
for the team later in the season, will make his F1 debut in Friday
first practice using Kobayashi's car.
The experienced Kobayashi faces an uncertain future at the team and
was replaced at Spa by Germany's triple Le Mans winner and F1
debutant Andre Lotterer, who retired after just two laps of that
race.
"I always respect team decisions," said the Japanese in a preview of
the race issued by the British-based team. "Now I am back in the car
and looking forward to going racing again."
The race will be Kobayashi's first since Hungary in July, before the
August holiday break.
Caterham, who have yet to score a point in Formula One and are last
in the standings, changed ownership in July when Malaysian
entrepreneur Tony Fernandes sold the team.
