Caterham has bucked expectations and arrived in Abu Dhabi for the 2014 finale.<\/p>\n
After a two-race absence and with administrators raising money through crowdfunding, scarcely a soul in the Interlagos paddock truly believed the green team would make the trip to the United Emirates Capital.<\/p>\n
Indeed, there was still scepticism mere days ago, when the team announced its comeback and signed up Kamui Kobayashi to race.<\/p>\n
But on Tuesday at the Yas Marina circuit, Caterham is definitely among the teams busily setting up for the weekend’s racing.<\/p>\n
Photos on social media show Caterham staff, although reportedly laid off, arriving through the paddock turnstile.<\/p>\n
And the Leafield based team posted photos on Twitter confirming its “busy, busy, busy” efforts to set up the garage.<\/p>\n
That is despite the team not yet confirming the identity of Japanese Kobayashi’s teammate.<\/p>\n
Another driver apparently out of the running is the talented Dutchman Robin Frijns, who earlier this year was the team’s reserve driver.<\/p>\n
He told the racexpress.nl website: “My manager Timo Gans said that I am not driving in Abu Dhabi, but I can’t say anything about it.”<\/p>\n
