Kamui Kobayashi was born in Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan on September 13, 1986. Kamui Kobayashi is a racing automobile driver and Formula One driver. The age as of 2026 is 40. The listed height is 170 cm.
My Take
Kamui Kobayashi is a fighter from Amagasaki who made the whole world watch. His Formula One years from 2009 to 2014 were defined by fearless, late-braking overtakes, and his 2012 podium at Suzuka, on home soil, remains one of the most emotional moments I have seen in the sport. What I respect most is that he never faded after F1: he leads Toyota in the World Endurance Championship and still races in Super Formula. He has also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice. For me, he is simply one of Japan's proudest motorsport exports.
