Chandok confirmed as Lotus reserve
http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/2...eserve-driver/
Good to see Karun getting a role but how many 'reserves' 'third' and 'test' drivers does one team need?! Not quite sure what Razia's third driver role actually means?
Pity that there is no in season testing now and the other drivers basically have an empty role for the rest of the year.

Long overdue announcement.
I wonder whether the deal might include a one-off in a race seat at the Indian GP? Maybe that's what took so long to negotiate...

Doubt it. He may get Friday running at home but otherwise it will take injury or Trulli getting Peed off and walking away to get K in the car for a race.All other opinions are wrong....

I don't think Chandhok is good enough to get a race seat. If Lotus sucks again, Trulli will voluntarily walk after this season. Then what? I think Lotus could get their eye on Glock after that, who could get frustrated with even a worse Virgin. Even Hülkenberg is available, if the guy doesn't somehow get a race seat in a better team. Or someone, who might shine in the GP2 season (Bianchi? Grosjean?).

^Indeed.
Although it looked something could have made him spin off... rear suspension?Tito Vilanova = :champion:
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
