We did a lot of work last week at Silverstone, testing Bridgestone tyres and trying to find a good car set-up for the Spanish Grand Prix so we are expecting a reasonable run." --------------- seems this is the first circuit karthik knows so lets he how he performs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fed up 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 I think he's doing a good job, but a testing/3rd driver contract at a top team is the best way for him to go IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 That would be OK, but I don't think he wants to end up alongside Wurz, Pedro, Gene etc, consigned to test driving. With his talent, and admittedly budget, if he keeps going as he is and improves, I think Jordan/Midland, whatever they'll be called next year would be silly to let him go.

Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 I would much prefer not to have pay drivers of course but NK may well have potential so it does seem unfair to criticise him atm. I'm still not convinced he's doing a "great job" but I don't think he deserves to be criticised purely for raising money to get his chance either, afterall many others have too initially.

Contrary to opinion, I have never criticized NK either. I have pointed out that his teammate is utter rubbish, to what degree we do not know, and that merely beating him is of little significance with respect to him earning a drive in a top team. My opinion is that NK has performed well and is deserving of a test with a mid-top team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
