Karun Chandhok was officially announced on Thursday as Bruno Senna's team-mate at the HRT Formula 1 team, formerly known as Campos Meta. In Murcia, Spain, the new Formula 1 team will reveal its livery later today.
Speaking in the team's official statement HRT team principal Colin Kolles said: "I am very pleased to use the Murcia site to officially unveil our car livery today. We also complete the driver's team line-up with the Indian Karun Chandhok at the wheel of the car for our first ever season.
"We have been very impressed with Karun's performance in GP2. India is a great country. It will be great for the sport to have an Indian driver on the grid for the first Indian Grand Prix. Murcia is part of the roots of the team. Everything is now in place after an impossible race against time to register the team's name and I truly believe that we have an excellent platform to build on and move forward for a strong 2010 performance. Now, we need to work together. We need to learn together and keep developing as a team."
Karun Chandhok will be the second driver from India to race in Formula 1.
