Narain Karthikeyan feels excited about 2012 Indian Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
HRT driver Narain Karthikeyan has said that he is feeling very excited about the 2012 Indian Grand Prix which is to be held at Buddh International Circuit on October 28, 2012.
Karthikeyan has not been able to score even a single point in the season until now and is standing at 24th place in the drivers’ championship. Moreover, he is ahead of his teammate, Pedro de la Rosa and is behind Charles Pic of Marussia.
Furthermore, it will be interesting to note that he is the only Indian driver in the F1 field right now and is eagerly looking forward to perform well in his home race.
The 35-year-old has said that Indian GP is the most anticipated race for him in the calendar. In addition, he said that he really likes the track of the forthcoming race which is very challenging as compared to the conventional circuits. Besides, he said that the tyre management will be very crucial in the upcoming race.
“Obviously this is the most anticipated race on the calendar for me and there is already a great buzz around the event,” Karthikeyan said. “The layout of the Buddh International Circuit is a great mix which makes it challenging for the tyres as there are very few conventional straight-forward corners but since the surface isn't abrasive at all, wear shouldn't be an issue.”
Additionally, he said that he shares some amazing memories from the last year’s race in India in which he performed quite convincingly. He also said that he is hoping to attain competitive result in this season and will dedicate his performance to his fans who have always shown great love and support towards him.
“I hope this year things go even better and I can dedicate it to the fans who are showing me so much support,” he added. “I can't wait to get out on track!”
Even though, he has not been able to show any remarkable performance in his career in the sport until now, nevertheless, his hopes are high and he is positively looking forward to achieve more in the future.
