Are you guys familiar with Karun Chandhok? Well for the benefit of those who do not know him, he is the winner of a GP2 race at the demanding Spa-Francorchamps circuit of 2007 and he will be undergoing testing for Red Bull Racing when Formula One resumes at the Circuit de Catalunya (Barcelona) happening on the 13th and the 14th of November.

He is a 23-year-old Indian who was born in Madras. He will be replacing Sebastien Buemi who will be competing at the Macau Formula 3 race soon. Chandhok won the Spa on the season in GP2, as he was also crowned 2006 Asian Formula Renault V6 Champion winning seven races and nine pole positions.

"This really is a dream come true for me. Ever since I was four years old I've dreamed of being behind the wheel of a Formula One car and this is a day that not just myself, but my family and everyone who has supported me over the years, has thought about for a long time. I really have to thank everyone involved at Red Bull Racing for this opportunity; I'm really looking forward to it,” Karun said.

"Karun has been supported by Red Bull for a couple of years now and his progress in GP2 this year has been clearly evident, culminating in a win at Spa. Barcelona presents a good opportunity to put Karun in one of the cars for his first F1 drive,” commented team Principal Christian Horner.
