Karun Chandhok 16th in debut GP2.

[Vas]

Karun Chandhok starts 16th in his first ever GP2 race.

8 positions below Borja Garcia, his fellow but more GP2 experienced Durango driver. There are still 10 drivers below him and the differenec in timing is just 0.558 seconds between him and Borja Garcia.

His intention should be moderately moving up the position and win atleast a point and also finish the race without any incident.

All the best to him.

It was an unfortunate thing to get out of Race2 with the collision,
Though we can consider as a decent start ,as it is his first such race in GP2  .
But he should be more  impressive to get into F1.
