Kamui Kobayashi<\/a>.<\/p>\nFormula 2 racer Miyata sampled the Haas at Jerez in January, while ex-Sauber and Caterham F1 driver Kobayashi drove the VF-23 in June at Paul Ricard in a run aimed at enabling him to better coach Toyota\u2019s stable of youngsters in future.<\/p>\n
Kaji wouldn\u2019t be drawn on who could be next in line for an F1 test from Toyota\u2019s domestic roster, but stressed that results in Super Formula will not be the decisive factor.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, we don\u2019t have any clear boundaries,\u201d Kaji continued. \u201cTsuboi has very good potential, so it\u2019s not only about his results. The test is not a reward for becoming Super Formula champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not have the same situation for other drivers [in future] who become champion. It is purely based on performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following his run for Haas in January, Miyata has also driven in TPC tests for Alpine, firstly at Zandvoort and then at Monza.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those opportunities came despite Miyata struggling for performance in his second season of F2 with ART Grand Prix, although he achieved a season-best result of second in wet conditions at Spa, having qualified in the same position.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the moment, we want to give him as much experience as we can,” said Kaji of Miyata. “It\u2019s important to give him the environment where he can focus on driving, regardless of the team or the car.\u201d<\/p>\n
