Will Narain Karthikeyan get a race/test seat in F1 next year?

sridhar24 · 12th September 2006, 17:55

NK getting a race seat again is very difficult not only in the next season but also in future. May be if Williams are impressed by him, he may become the test driver for them for a few seasons.

no. 1 test driver in williams still looks doubtful.. i think he will be there as no. 2 again next year and they will find someone else to be no. 1..

looks like his only chance of getting arace seat is if Tata buys out a team- any team for sale?!!!!

There still seems to be hope for Karthikeyan.

Looks like TATA are really backing up for the no 1 test dricer spot.

Well Narain and TATA should pray then that Alexander Wurz and his sponsors are napping!!

Well it is wishful thinking... He hasnt actually performed THAT well to earn himself a main drivers seat in a better car...

ahahhaa....who are we thying to fool....its all over for narain...unless he can pump in more money...otherwise his drving doesnt show anything at alll....he can be termed as one of the perpetual back makers

Narain will be remembered as the first Indian to take part in an F1 race. But we're still waiting for the first Indian F1 driver.

Thats all i gotta say.

Another one for the Joke thread.
Do you guys actually see reality or see something that is a version of it.
Karun a Kimi and Alonso eater... not unless they make a bake called Kimi or a pudding called Alonso buddy!

ess_a · 19th September 2006, 18:09

Okay i agree that was a good one... Chandhok eating kimi!!!

But come on we are just 'hoping', whats wrong with that!
To take the reality part a little further, i dont think this generation will produce any real class F1 driver... Next one may...
The infrastructure here is pathetic... These ppl like chandhok, narain, armaan ebrahim all have family backing... Does anybody think that a guy like armaan would have got a seat in A1 had his dad been not involved in the indian A1 gig... People like us only race in our bylanes and things end then and there....
Any hopes of Indian racing future depends on us as to how we may bring in changes...
