cavallino 2 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 Thats TCS (Tata Consultancy Services), they are a service provider to Ferrari. A babelfish translation, until our resident portuguese fan can do a translation. Karthikeyan in the Red Bull Despite the time below of the initial expectations, Narain Karthikeyan will be able to finish for remaining itself in Formula 1 in 2006, heading to second equips of the Red Bull, given that the energy drink mark has in the Indian market a very strong presence and is interested in placing it in equips of Faenza for the next year. The contacts between the two parts have come to intensify themselves, and at this moment the hypothesis of the Indian pilot equally exists to start to be the third pilot of the Red Bull, being left as former-Minardi for the American Scott Speed, who thus would make equips with Vittantonio Liuzzi.

nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 so if I read that right, Narain will be 3rd driver in the Red Bull Minardi team and VL and Speed race drivers?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narain fan 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 so if I read that right, Narain will be 3rd driver in the Red Bull Minardi team and VL and Speed race drivers?? as of now ss is third driver at rbr. if he moves to minardi (ouch sorry rb rookie or what ever)then karty will be a third driver at rbr or vice versa .anyway these are not confirmed yet so we will probably have to wait untill the end of season to find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoolMonkey 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 I can't see Narrain actually getting a race seat. 3rd driver at RBR is possible. Speed looks a good shot at a Minardi seat. Either Klein or Luizzi is going to partner him. You'd think Klein would stay at RBR, but by having Luizzi and Speed at Minardi they might not progress as much without having some with a little experience. So maybe Klein as Minardi #1 driver would make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USAF1 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 I'll be interested to see who the Friday driver is for each team - and if the four primary pilots (DC, CK, VL, SS) a seat for the full season, or exactly how things pan out. RBR showed potential this year w/Cosworth & the old Jag chassis - can't wait to see what they come up w/for next year - how the RB2 & Ferrari powerplant do.

deep_tokyo 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 Redbull signed Scott Speed as the 3rd driver and then Aquired Minardi within a matter of days. Most probably they had plans for NK and Luizzi as their drivers for RB minardi. Otherwise they could have announced the signing of Speed as a race driver after they aquired Minardi. However everything is speculation at this point. Do anybody have information about RB's plan for their second team. Are the two teams going to have the same chasis etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Null 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 This 15 year old... http://www.rediff.com/sports/2005/may/16armaan.htm He sounds like he could have something. I held this opinion until I read this; Said Ebrahim, who is being tipped for a test drive with India's A1GP Team and has aspirations to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Narain Karthikeyan yes, he is indeed 16, although 5 months or whatever it is makes no real difference, he is still too young to be involved in A1GP. http://sify.com/sports/columns/fullstory.php?id=13743821 He sounds like he could be good for the future though. He is too young at the moment though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
