According to Karun Chandhok, India will have to wait long for another Formula One driver. Both Chandhok and Narain Karthikeyan have represented their nation in the recent years.

Chandhok told the Press trust of India, “F1 is F1, everyone knows the financial situation. F1 is difficult at the moment unless you have millions.”

The 29-year-old was lamenting over the fact that no countryman is poised to take their place in representing the country.

“(The) next F1 driver from India? At the moment don’t see anyone else,” said Chandhok. “If any Indian has to be in F1 in future it would be either me or Narain.

“To be able to do well in F1, you need to win in Europe and so far only I and Narain have been able to win in GP2, A1GP and Formula 3.

“No other Indian has been able to do it. Have you seen anyone in the junior ranks? There are a few but no one is winning.”
