Well it is official, Narain Karthikeyan has done better in 2012 than he did in 2011! 1 15th so far in 2012, 3 17ths in whole of 2011!

I was looking at the images on the HRT site from Monaco (which were quite slow to load, aptly enough) and I was wondering just what the hell those little snacks were that were being made? The looked like rabbit food and were bubbling. Pedro looked thrilled to be trying one :lol:

It seems Karthy's best results depends to much on how many other drivers retires... :mrgreen:

Anyway at least Karthikeyan seems to be able to reach the end of the race, when the car suffers not technical failures.

Or others not starting, 2005 springs to mind. I'm surprised he managed to beat Albers to 4th place in that United States Grand Prix.

Albers, also known as the man who has spent more laps in last then any other. :mrgreen:

Sure makes Freisacher look bad. And Monteiros podium look like more of a least worst kind of deal :mrgreen:

Maybe the Jordan was a lot better than the Minardi. Anyway, Albers was an idiot.

On their preview for Canada, drivers and Pera Sala all say that major development is a new low downforce rear wing.

I also just signed up as a fan, and I had a look at their very interesting ONE magazine.

TATA did came with Karthikeyan, but just by reading the magazine, TATA (the company itself) are trying to enter the Spainish market. Considering the current financial climate, people are definetly interested at brand new cars that are under 8,000euros.

So I guess theres a chance if Narain does leave, TATA may still be interested in sponsoring the team for years to come without Narain.

Yes Pedro may have been with Glock and Heikki towards the end with his FW change.

Yes HRT helped with the launch of the TATA Vista road car a couple of months back and is also following TATA Motors Espana on Twitter, thats why I think if Narain doesn't continue as driver, the stickers will stay on the car.

New rear wing for Canada, but essentially just to compensate for their lack of KERS, it seems.
