Karun Chandok - Force India F1

Karun Chandok has suggested that he is in contention for the Force India F1 seat for 2009.

Although this news might now be new, what interests me is the fact that Adrian Sutil is on a one year contract extension. Mallya, the newbie, managing to keep the driver in his garage, while big name teams wanted him, is an achievement. And as far as 2009 goes, I think its too early.

For all we know Red Bull might offer Karun a role and that will be a tough decision for him to make.

Chandhok to test Red Bull F1

The Red Bull Formula 1 team has invited GP2 driver Karun Chandhok to test with for Red Bull Racing when F1 testing resumes at the Circuit de Catalunya.

It will be the first time for Chandhok to test with a Formula One car.

Winning at Spa was the highlight of Chandhok’s season in GP2, having secured the drive after being crowned the 2006 Asian Formula Renault V6 Champion, with seven wins and nine pole positions.
