Chandhok hopes to continue in GP2
14 December 2007Karun Chandhok joined the GP2 series at the start of 2007 with the Durango team. He faced a difficult season and was hardly found in the top ten. He won the Belgian Grand Prix though after a stunning performance.
In November Chandhok enjoyed his Formula 1 debut with the Red Bull Racing team. But he will stay focussed on GP2. "I'll try to get another year of GP2 and win as many races as possible," Chandhok told GPUpdate.net. "I think we showed enough potential this year, I've won a race and hopefully next season I will do that on a more regular basis. If I could combine that with as much Formula 1 testing as possible, that would be the ideal scenario.

Chandhok is one of the young talents from India that was obviously linked with the all-new Indian F1 team. But Chandhok realises he's not ready yet to race for Mallya's F1 team. "It's not rocket science that I will be linked to Force India," Chandhok said. "Vijay Mallya and my family have been friends for a long time, Mallya has been my sponsor for a long time and we know each other very well. Of course we've spoken about it, but at the moment I'm testing for Red Bull and they're a team who are further up the grid. Not many people get their first chance in Formula 1 with an Adrian Newey designed car, so that's a very special opportunity.
"It's quite clear that I am going to race in GP2 next year. Not in Formula 1. We'll see in another twelve months."
