Namma oorakaraen (Narain Karthikeyan) will test for Williams in 2006, the Grove based team confirmed on Friday.Just hours before the 2006 'FW28' car is unveiled, it was finally announced that the 29-year-old would be the team's fourth driver, distinct from Alex Wurz's role as the 'Friday' and reserve nominee for grands prix. Karthikeyan, with a purse of Indian backing, tested the team's blue interim car in December, after race debuting for Jordan in 2005.''It has taken some while to resolve what I would be doing for 2006,'' said the Coimbatore-born tester, ''but joining the team was the best option for me.''
Narain Karthikeyan has admitted to disappointment after sliding out of the F1 limelight for season 2006.The 29-year-old, who became the first Indian to race at the sport's highest level with Jordan last year, failed to have his 'MF1' contract renewed and also missed out on the Friday slot at Williams. Instead, for the latter Grove based team, Karthikeyan will merely test throughout this year.Asked if he was disappointed to not be racing again, Narain told the Press Trust of India: ''As a driver, maybe.''But as a professional, no.''Sure, every driver wants to race, but to get a step up somewhere in F1 is difficult. In the short term, it might not look good, but it is going to benefit me in the long run.''Karthikeyan says spending a year at a top team, even if not actually on the grid, will be good for his career.''I know I made the right decision for my future. Working with a top team, I can learn a lot more,' Narain claimed. Karthikeyan is not expected to return to the test tracks, however, until mid April, although - partly to represent his and team sponsor 'Tata' - he will attend all 19 grands prix this season.
