After impressing Red Bull Racing by finishing the second day of the test, a mere 0.7 seconds behind veteran David Coulthard, Chandok is aiming for more. In an interview with F1 official website Karun had this to say

At the moment I am testing for Red Bull Racing, who are an increasingly strong midfield team with huge potential and I am very happy with that, What the future holds for 2008 and beyond, I’m not entirely sure at the moment but I’d like to think that I have done a good enough job here with Red Bull to get some more testing days next year combined with a GP2 programme. As for the grand prix, of course it will be fantastic for me if I could be on the grid for that first Indian Grand Prix.

He also said that the Force India seat was not a given.

Mallya’s buyout of Spyker is good for India and Indian motorsport as it gives us more credibility within the sport, At the moment people in India have presumed that it means that there will automatically be Indian drivers. What you have to remember is that while there is a 50 per cent Indian owner of the team, Formula 1 is a global sport with a global audience. Vijay has already made it clear on several occasions in public that the driver choice will be based on who is the most suitable rather than where he’s from and that’s fair enough.

Unless Force India moves up the grid, I think Karun would be better off sticking with RBR for now.
