Karthikeyan won't race in 2006
Narain Karthikeyan has counted himself out of the running to stay on the
F1 grid next year. Although the rookie Indian appeared to be a contender
to keep his Jordan ride, he has admitted that negotiations with the newly
renamed 'Midland' outfit have now ended. Karthikeyan's revelation adds
fuel to speculation that Portuguese oil company-sponsored Tiago Monteiro
will line up alongside Christijan Albers.
'NK' said the price of the race drive was simply too high. "The seat
would have worked out between (US) $9.5 million and $14 million," Narain
said.
Karthikeyan says he did not even seriously propose the price-tag to his
Indian sponsors because "I knew it is impossible to get that kind of money.
"We have been juggling with the figures for some time now and it was not
working out. I have been compelled to tell Midland to look elsewhere."
If the $9-$14m asking price is accurate, it represents almost twice the
amount forked out by Narain's sponsors for his 2005 team seat. As expected,
Karthikeyan confirmed that he had now turned his attention to a 'Friday'
practice or test ride with a bigger team like Williams.
Asked if he'd been on the phone to Sir Frank, the Indian rookie replied:
'No comment'. But he did say: "Being a test driver in a good car will
allow me to showcase my skills better. That is a genuine possibility."

簡單地說就是：
1. 印度人承認明年自己大概沒辦法在F1出賽。這也間接證實有葡萄牙國營石油公司
在背後撐腰的葡萄牙「可靠先生」大概會成為小瓢蟲的隊友。
2. 印度人說自己沒辦法繼續出賽的原因是要取得出賽機會的話得支付950萬到1400萬
美金的錢， 他認為他根本沒辦法讓死幫色為他拿出這麼多的錢來出賽。假如他說的
屬實，這樣的價碼幾乎是印度人的死幫色在2005年把他送進九蛋車隊的花費的2倍。
也因此印度人轉而尋求成為Williams週五測試車手的可能性。
3. 談到是否有和輪椅老怪就週五測試車手的可能性通電話時，印度人不予置評。但
是他強調「成為測試車手駕駛一輛好車更能展現自己的技巧，因此這是真有可能的」
