Narain Karthikeyan - Back to racing F1?

Will Narain Karthikeyan find his way back to active F1 racing by taking up the empty driver's seat which became vacant due to Christijan Albers exit from the Spyker team? More likely not than otherwise because Christijan has had to leave due to non-payment of fund by one of his personal sponsors and for a budget strained team like Spyker moolah matters. Team boss Colin Kolles' affinity toward Narain could tilt the balance give the fact that Narain has worked with him in Jordan during the 2005 season and Colin's departure from Jordan was cited to be one of the main reasons for Narain's exit then. It will certainly take a lot of bargaining from Narain's sponsors if this deal has to go through. HONDA test driver Christian Klein's name is also being talked about for this seat. Will an Indian be back to racing a F1 car? A couple of days and we'll know.
