Karun qualified 4th but finished 7th in first race. So he will be on the front row for the second race...

looks like Armaan has been thrown in to the deep end yet again

[kallu]

Grosjean takes the victory in race 2 aswell

Fauzy finishs second and Karun 3rd.

[suresh]

A podium finish in the first event of year for Karun bodes well for the rest of the year. Now we await his first win of the year. Go Karun.

[ajay]

Congratulations Karun for the Podium finish. Thats a  great start to the year. I wish him more success in this year. Go Karun!

In second round GP2 Asia Series in Sentenul, Indonesia; Karun couldn't finished first race and managed only 13 position in second race ... Armaan Ebrahim also couldn't finished first feature race but he managed to finish inside top 10, 9th position, in second race ... This was huge result for young Armaan Ebrahim.

[kallu]

So the third round of the asian GP2

Karun qualified second for the first race behind Grosjean ....Great stuff from karun..

Armaan at the bottom of the grid..struggling over 3 seconds slower...

[jaydeep]

But in race Armaan and Karun collided with each other when last 5 laps were remaining ...

[jaydeep]

In second race on Sunday, 23rd March, Karun finished on respectable 7th position ahead of his iSport International teammate Bruno Senna.

Aarman also managed to finish race on 19th position.

[piranha]

But in race Armaan and Karun collided with each other when last 5 laps were remaining ...

That's the most ironic thing of having two countrymen in the same race.

[kallu]

Karun finished 8th in race 1. So he is on the pole for the race 2. Ebrahim finished 13th.  Karun could have done better though, he did a rookie mistake coming out of the pits. Hope everything goes right for him in race 2 !

[jaydeep]

iSport International Karun Chandhok and DPR Diego Nunes placed their car on the front row of the reversed grid this morning. Due to an electrical problem, Bruno Senna did not take part in the race. As the lights went off, all 25 cars took off, but in the first corner, Nunes and Chandhok touched, sending the Indian driver into a spin and leaving Petrov to lead.

... ...

Karun retired from the race on 11th lap ... Aarman finished on 16th place.

[jaydeep]

After disappointing performance at Barcelona, Karun showed improved performance at Istanbul Park.

Karun qualified for the race on 7th position and managed to grab 4th position in race 1 but only managed 12th position in race 2.

Karun moved to 9th position in standing with 5 pts in race 1.
