Karty To Redbull

[Null 0]

nah, Jordan are the next in line to go

[Senna 0]

so if I read that right, Narain will be 3rd driver in the Red Bull Minardi team and VL and Speed race drivers??

What a team!

Red Bull Minardi have got a prolific driver-line-up now but I am surprised that they have not found space for Chanoch Nissany, who lets not forget is a free agent at the moment. Perhaps a tried and trusted driver rotation policy might be in order - Narain, Liuzzi, Speed and Nissany can all have a turn behind the wheel!

That way RBR can tap into the lucrative Israelian, Indian, American and Italian markets

Don't forget about that Chinese driver Senna. There are 1.3B Chinese people which, if motivated to buy Red Bull by seeing their hopelessly underqualified native son driving in F1, would drink huge volumes of the syrupy 'energy drink'. I cannot understand why he is not already in F1 alongside Narain Karthikeyan at the emerging market-oriented team.

Tung Ho-Pin?

Tung Ho-Pin?

I think so... I mean the one that was mentioned in reference to Williams' development program several months back but I don't know his name. I don't both learning the names of the potential pay drivers as there are so many of them! Really anyone with driving experience from a developing but heavily populated country is a legitimate contender for a pay-driving role and I cannot possible be expected to remember them all.

[cavallino 2]

yup do a translation for us please.

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.

he's the best of the lot. I agree Narain should go there.

F1 and most of the other motorsporting events are primarily of European and US origin. These two have a tradition of motorsports for almost 100 years. Countries like China, India and the so called developing world are just starting now. Besides, motorsport needs a lot of cash and drivers from this developing nations are not necessarily the best talented ones but the ones who could afford to do so and some of them are even credible enough to enter F1 even with financial backing. And regarding financial backing I dont need to mention the name of pay driver who later became F1 champions. Its very disgusting for some of you guys -- the idea of a pay driver but the truth is that its only a way to enter F1 nothing more.

10 years back where was China in terms of Olympic medals and look where they are now. Dont be surprised to see a couple of Chinese drivers kicking a## in the grid within a few years. The same goes for India and other developing nations. The dominance of European drivers in F1 is not about talent but about better training facilities and racing oppertunities.

Hope this clears the ignorane of all concerned and extend the horizons of your mental boundaries.

completely agree ! narain had to go to the elf racing school in france when he was 16.coz at that time he couldn't even find a goodcart in india

[mock 0]

What could Tata motors offer Ferrari have to google that..

Tata Motors and Fiat are signing an MoU (Fiat owns Ferrari) to produce cars together (most likely), especially since FIAT INDIA is close to closing down and this would be a shot in the arm for FIAT

No prob

My Lord! How desperate they must be to run a 15 year old. Narain really should be on that team...

actually it is Karun Chandok who drives in the A1 races and he is 21 i think

[cavallino 2]

Karun's the other driver, they have 2. I am not sure if both race though..

This nice theory has a large logical gap in it- South America, which by all definitions, is a developing region. Please explain why there is a large pool of talented drivers form South America, including and up since Fangio

[Null 0]

most A1 teams have 2 or 3 drivers
