Narain Karthikeyan, who three years ago became the first Indian to participate in a Formula 1 race, has refused to respond to speculation that he will return to the F1 grid.
The co-owner of Force India, Vijay Mallya, hinted that his current lineup with Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil would remain unchanged in 2009.
But there is still a possibility that the Indian billionaire will give a chance to a compatriot…
Karthikeyan, 31 years old, who races for India in the A1GP series and has recently been a test driver for Williams, and GP2 driver Karun Chandhok are in pole position for a future position at Force India.
According to Newsindpress, he stated: « Being a driver for an F1 team is not an achievement. Vijay Mallya has done an excellent job. And only he can answer the question of my presence in his team. »
On the official F1 website, Mallya explained that he was very happy with his current driver lineup.
