Karun Chandhok has been announched as the teammate to Bruno Senna in the newly renamed Hispania Racing Team. Hispania, formerly Campos, made the announchment at the launch of their first ever Formula 1 car. The Indian has long been a favourate of Bernie Eccelstone due to his ability to tap into the growing Indian markets.
Chandhok has shown flashes of brilliance in the past most notably winning races in GP2 and finishing on the podium in Monaco however he has tempered this with some poor showings in the series also. It will be interesting to see how he compares to Senna this season. Neither driver will have had any driving time prior to the first race but Senna has been integrating himself within the team for months and should have an initial advantage as a result.
