Karthikeyan hopeful of Williams drive

Narain Karthikeyan remains hopeful of securing a race-seat with Williams next season. The Indian driver is currently testing for the British team, a role which he has filled for the last two years.

And the 30-year-old revealed that he still has designs on replacing either Alex Wurz or Nico Rosberg in the Williams cockpit.

However, the former Jordan driver has a seat lined up in A1 racing should this fail to materialise.

"I have got a contract with Williams for next year and am hoping to get behind the wheels as a driver," he told The Hindustan Times.

"If it doesn't materialise though, I have got a commitment with the A1 Grand Prix and would race in it."
