India's Karun Chandhok is set to make his Formula 1 debut with the new Campos team this year!!

The 26-year-old is understood to have secured his drive, and the deal will be announced imminently.
Chandhok, who raced in the GP2 feeder category last year, is expected to be partnered by Brazilian racer Bruno Senna.

The nephew of the late great F1 legend Ayrton Senna, signed for Campos last year and his manager has dismissed speculation that he could lose his seat.
But Senna's manager Chris Goodwin has said, "There's no reason to think Bruno won't be part of it. It's clear as far as we're concerned. He signed a contract in October and he'll be in the car this season."

This Sounds great for India!  Will you be one to enjoy his first race in F1?

Chandhok, who has won two GP2 races in three years in the category, will be the second Indian driver to compete in F1 after Narain Karthikeyan took part in 19 races for Jordan in 2005.

Kolles has insisted that Campos will be in Bahrain for the first race of the season on 14 March after a winter of uncertainty over their funding.   Here is a picture of the F1 Track in Bahrain...

Of course we will all be supporting Schumacher... I'm looking forward to seeing him race again!  But,
will you also keep a keen eye on India's own, Karun Chandhok & watch some races  ??
