Karun Chandhok is still refusing to rule out the possibility a one-off race seat at Lotus at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix in October.

Chandhok an abortive debut with HRT last year and in 2011 is the reserve driver at Lotus, where in Melbourne and Turkey he has undertaken Friday practice duties. But it has been rumoured for some time that race regulars Jarno Trulli or Heikki Kovalainen could move over for him late in October, when New Delhi makes its F1 bow.

Chandhok admitted to PTI that he will be "disappointed" if that is not the case. "You need to be slightly patient in such kind of situations and my view is to believe in the medium to long term," he added. "Yes, I will back in the F1 as a race driver but this year or next year, we will wait and see."
