Karthikeyan hopeful of F1 return

Former Jordan driver Narain Karthikeyan hopes to race again in Formula One. The Indian is biding his time as a test driver at Williams and believes that he can make a racing comeback in the same manner as Alexander Wurz. The Austrian lost his Benetton race seat at the end of 2000 and has been testing ever since till he landed a contract to race for Williams this season.

"You need to see your options and wait for your turn. That's how Formula One is at the moment," Karthikeyan told Reuters.

"It's a small market, but a crowded place."

Karthikeyan is meanwhile keeping his racing skills honed in A1 GP, but maintains that Formula One is still his main objective.

"My main priority is Formula One, with Williams. I thought I'll do A1 just to keep my racing juices flowing. I'm going to be competing in the next three races as well," he added.
