Karthikeyan returns to HRT ahead of Singapore GP

Berlin - Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan will be back for the HRT Formula One team in Friday's first practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix, the team said Saturday.
He will then drive for the team at his home race, the inaugural Indian Grand Prix scheduled for October 28-30.
HRT team principal Colin Kolles said on the team's website the practice session will give Karthikeyan 'critical seat time' before he drives at the Indian GP.
'He is the best driver to come out of the region and is undoubtedly extremely talented as he has proved through his progress this season,' he said.
Karthikeyan was replaced at the end of June after the race in Valencia by Australian Daniel Ricciardo. HRT is still seeking a first F1 point since its debut last year.
'Of course it's a great feeling to be driving on a Grand Prix weekend once again, and on the subject of my home Grand Prix of India, the team had assured me that I'd be driving when I stepped out of my seat after the European GP,' Karthikeyan said.
