Following his Team Lotus debut at the Nürburgring on Sunday, Karun Chandhok is positive that he will be enjoying more outings for Tony Fernandes’ squad. In the race, the Indian returnee – who drove for HRT in 2010 – endured a struggle to 20th position and was last of the runners to finish.
“I believe I'll get some more chances because Tony seems quite happy with the job I did, the engineers seem happy with the job I did,” Chandhok told Reuters. “Bernie (Ecclestone, head of commercial rights holders Formula One Management) is very happy as well - he came to see Tony and I on the grid yesterday.
“I think I have done enough to warrant another go but whether it's this year or next year, or the year after, we have to wait and see. That's a complicated situation. It's just a question of when it happens. I think Tony has shown this weekend that he's not afraid to mix things up.”
With some believing that Team Principal Fernandes made a wrong decision in temporarily replacing Jarno Trulli, Chandhok replied:
“I think internal respect was earned and I don't think I embarrassed him.”
