  1. Hi,
    Having been with NK, do you think he might get a F1 seat again?? Have been following him closely as I hail from the same city as his. In Silverstone Lemans, he finished 6th.
    At the same time, I checked on Karun’s GP2 result in Italy.. 19th.. But he was in the F1 race in force india dug out.. What a pity… I feel sorry for NK

    1. HI Hari ram,
      Its a bit of anti climax as far as Narain’s career is concerned. The best part is we need sponsors and more importantly we need people to at least look being diplomatic, its neither happened with Vijay Mallya nor NK. Its tought ot get sponsors of that scale that F1 needs. May be some new team but I cant see why they would take NK when there are so many from GP2 and F2 series or even World Series by Renault.

      As regards Karun, there is a politically correct version so much that Bernie thinks he deserves a seat but it is not so true as much as they think they can sell F1 to Indian fans. Unfortunately, this year the sponsors cut out on KC and he is no more competitive. May be KC can be seen driving in 2011 or some other team in 2010.

      BTW thanks for dropping by…. will touch base by mail. See ya
