Hispania Racing Team’s Daniel Ricciardo is expected to be replaced by Narain Karthikeyan for the inaugural Indian Grand Prix which is expected to take place on the 30th of October.
The Indian Grand Prix is Karthikeyan’s home race as a result of which the team has decided to give the Indian a chance just for a weekend.
He signed for a race seat with the team before the beginning of the 2011 Formula 1 season but he was replaced by the young test driver of the team mid-way through the season
“I am not sure 100 per cent sure what's happening but at least I will be driving in the practice session. When it (making way for Karthikeyan) is part of the deal and agreement, you follow it. I still have lot of races left in the season and you look forward to many more things when you do not race,” Ricciardo told the Press Trust of India.
Nevertheless, the upcoming Indian Grand Prix is going to be quite an experience for Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok, another Indian driver who drives for Team Lotus as a test driver.
It has been confirmed that 2 Indian drivers will be driving at their home race but since both of them are driving for back-running teams of the sport, they might not be expecting a point scoring finish by the end of the day.
