Karun Chandhok

Karun Chandhok is an Indian driver who made his Formula 1 debut with HRT in 2010, racing in the difficult circumstances of a new and under-resourced team. He later made a one-off appearance for Lotus in 2011. Although his F1 race record was limited, Chandhok had built international experience through the junior ranks and became one of the few Indian drivers to reach the Grand Prix grid. After racing, he developed a respected broadcasting career, known for clear technical analysis and thoughtful insight. His contribution to F1 therefore spans both driving and explaining the sport to a wider audience.
