Karun Chandhok has tersely insisted he is “not worried” about the future of the struggling HRT team.<\/p>\n
Recent reports quoted Bernie Ecclestone as suggesting the new Spanish outfit was in financial trouble, amid reports it will run out of spare parts by next month’s Canadian grand prix.<\/p>\n
In fact, team officials insist the F1 chief executive is simply helping Hispania with its technical plans for 2011, including the use of a wind tunnel and facilities to design its own car.<\/p>\n
Asked about the negative rumours by the Times of India, Chandhok said this week: “That’s a matter between Bernie, Colin (Kolles) and (Jose Ramon) Carabantes.<\/p>\n
“It has nothing to do with me,” added the 26-year-old Indian rookie.\u00a0 “I know what the truth is and I am not worried.”<\/p>\n
Although friends with his teammate Bruno Senna, Chandhok insists he has been the quickest HRT driver in 2010 but is keen for a car upgrade in order to ensure he has a seat next year.<\/p>\n
“I’ve generally been faster than Bruno,” he said, adding that the Cosworth powered F110 “really needs” a new aerodynamic package.<\/p>\n
“But as of now, my objective is to keep pushing as much as I can and secure a good position for 2011.\u00a0 The rest isn’t up to me,” added Chandhok.<\/p>\n
