Formula one: Karthikeyan sees future beyond GP
Karthikeyan hopes to race in India's first grand prix with Hispania (HRT) at his on October 30.
Narain Karthikeyan hopes to race on in Formula One beyond next month’s inaugural Indian Grand Prix after announcing a new sponsor.
India’s first grand prix driver will drive for Hispania (HRT) at his home race on Oct. 30 after being replaced by Red Bull-backed Australian Daniel Ricciardo in July. Ricciardo, also a Red Bull reserve driver, is tipped to move to Toro Rosso next season which would again free up a seat at Hispania.
“I want to drive in F1 as long as possible,” said Karthikeyan after signing a contract with India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturers Hero Motors. “It is the pinnacle of motorsports and that’s what we are trying to do,” added the 34-year-old Indian.
