Sad News for Indians

I just heard that Narain Karthikeyan, the Indian Formula 1 driver, has been dropped from Jordan Racing (which is now Midland). He currently has no sponsers for the 2006 season. Midland F1 has picked up Christijan Albers to take the first spot, with Tiago Monteiro most likely taking the second postion.
I enjoyed seeing him on the track; it made me feel as if the Indians finally had someone in international appeal. Plus, Indians here really loved him. He was on all sorts of TV commercials and even sponsoring car batteries with special 'NK Racing' editions. Too bad he couldn't race....
