I would like to stay at HRT for the next season: Narain Karthikeyan

Narain Karthikeyan is keen to stay at HRT for the upcoming season, says a report in The Times of India.

"Next year I would like to stay at HRT. That's the plan and it seems good so far," said Karthikeyan.

“The team now have a factory and a great new facility has come up in Madrid and the car is getting better. It is a good place to stay. The management and me also have a good rapport,” he added

On team’s performance, he said, “From Australia till now we have improved a lot. At the last race in Monza, we improved almost by two seconds from the pole car since last year.” On his teammate  Pedro de la Rosa he said, “Pedro is a very fast guy who has a lot of knowledge of the Pirelli tyres and he knows how to get the most out of it.”

On his own performance, Karthikeyan was quoted in TOI saying, “I have had some bad luck. Qualifying from Silverstone onwards, I have been unlucky in missing Practice One on Fridays while the second practice has inevitably been wet. So to get one hour of practice on Saturday and then to go faster than a fast guy is difficult. And the difference between me and him is not big, only a couple of tenths. It changed in the last race at Monza and am planning to keep the momentum. The next leg of Asian races suit me and I intend to put up a good show," said the Indian, who leaves for the Singapore Grand Prix Tuesday.”
