Narayan's Debut Run - Melbourne GP 2005
Here he was, well this wasn't the dream debut that he could have asked for, but it wasn't really far from that. Finishing 15th, ahead of his teammate and also SCHUMI {oops, actually he retired} proves that this boy has what it takes to be there. Nice run in both the qualifying sessions, though today on a 2-pit-stop startegy he did slip twice but escaped from any disaster.
The confidence was sure for everyone to see, the disciplined start in that crowd and the way in which he allowed overtaking while lap down were just a few examples.
If he can finish most of the races and probably be within points in a few, he does have more than bright future ahead.
RESULTS:
