Chandhok continues waiting to close its agreement with Lotus

Rather than proving it Lotus T128 newly presented last week, Karun Chandhok insists that it is still by signing a contract for 2011.

Expected the Indian pilot, who made his debut in F1 with the Hispania Racing team last year, will be hired by Team Lotus as pilot.

He has also reported that Chandhok need to bring a specific amount of sponsorship for the team led by Tony Fernandes, and could have the opportunity to run in his Grand Prix home Grand Prix India in New Delhi in October.

"There are many" If "in him", confirmed in the Spanish test circuit.

"Now I am here to do a test drive in one of the next three days." "The agreement is back and the rest will be done later," said Chandhok Times of India.

It is believed that Chandhok will lead on Thursday or Friday. Jerez test also develops the weekend.

"Months have passed since the last time I drove a F1 car and am very excited to be back in the elite club", he added.

"I am sure can provide added value for the team and its development agenda." "Tony (Fernandes) and Mike Gascoyne understand the value I bring to the team as a test pilot."

"The final agreement has not yet been closed, but things look bright at the moment," said Chandhok.

 

Karun Chandhok tested with Team Lotus in Jerez and in Montmeló

Karun Chandhok tested with Team Lotus in Jerez and Montmelo, while the team assesses whether it suits them to make it his third driver in the face of the 2011 season. We take a few days with rumors about their future with Team Lotus, but what is clear now is that, at least come to test the car.

It will be a day at the Andalusian circuit and one in Catalan, although still not been decided what day will be. Tony Fernandes, Mike Gascoyne and Riyadh Asmet, CEO of the team, they seem to agree that Chandhok would be a good option as third driver for the team, but they prefer to try before making a decision.

This is because, according to the own Fernandes, to have to see if "everything is going as you have to go", assuming it refers its speed as well as its technical level.If times and former Hispania driver sensations are good, it will be. If they are not, probably not reach consummate nothing.

In any case, Chandhok has proven to be a driver of an acceptable category (still quite a few times ahead of Senna last year) and it also has a culture worker, educated and little problems, so that, in principle, suits Team Lotus.
