I had already done three seasons of GP2, so there was no point me staying there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing, Chandhok said that even racing at the back of the grid in Formula One still furthered his career, both on and off the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing an F1 driver, even at the back of the grid, that still means you\u2019re one of the 24 elite, at that time, and obviously now there\u2019s only 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd that still serves as a catalyst for your career, both as a driver and beyond being a driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, the fact that I had those opportunities to race with teams, even though they were at the back of the grid, has meant that, forever beyond that, I will always be known as a Formula 1 driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd that opens up career opportunities, whether it be driving sportscars, or racing in Formula E, or other championships around the world, and also in terms of non-driving work, like television and things like that,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo I don\u2019t regret that at all. Obviously, it\u2019s a no-brainer: everyone would rather join a team further up the grid. But you have to look at what opportunities there are, and in my case at that time, there wasn\u2019t an opportunity to join a midfield team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, I would say that, for a young driver coming out of F2, it\u2019s much better being at the back of the grid in F1 than not being in F1 at all. I still think there\u2019s merit in that, in getting your foot in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life After Racing In F1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After losing his seat at HRT to Sakon Yamamoto in 2010, Chandhok went on to work as a co-commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live&#8217;s F1 coverage for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, after retiring from Formula One at the end of 2011, he went on to compete in WEC, the FIA GT Series and Formula E before turning his focus back to his media career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on life after being an F1 racing driver, Chandhok told this publication that while some drivers can simply retire, others have to continue to earn a living, either by racing in another series, doing media work or exploring other avenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople come out of F1 in different stages of their lives, different stages of their careers, and different financial positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome come out of F1 never having to work a day again in their life, and then they just invest their earnings wisely, relax and enjoy the rest of their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/formula1news.co.uk\/sebastian-vettel-reveals-he-didnt-fight-back-against-ferraris-decision-to-drop-him\/\">Sebastian Vettel Reveals He Didn\u2019t \u2018Fight Back\u2019 Against Ferrari\u2019s Decision To Drop Him<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are others who need to carry on working, for the next 15, 20, 30 years until they retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, you have to look at each drivers\u2019 individual circumstances. And it\u2019s also a matter of motivation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Future Of Formula One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Formula One is currently going through yet another period of transition, with new regulations set to come into effect in 2022, and a budget cap and a more equitable distribution of prize money being introduced this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chandhok said he believes these measures will \u201cfurther tighten up the field\u201d and noted that, in terms of lap time, today\u2019s backmarkers aren\u2019t that far off the pace-setters when compared to prior eras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/formula1news.co.uk\/exclusive-romain-grosjean-to-compete-in-indycar-before-joining-peugeot-in-wec\/\">EXCLUSIVE: Romain Grosjean To Compete In IndyCar Before Joining Peugeot In WEC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to have a one-make series, first of all. That\u2019s never going to happen in F1,\u201d Chandhok asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s lots of steps being taken, in terms of the cost cap, in terms of the standardisation of certain components of F1, in terms of the 2022 rules, with certain limitations being brought in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think there\u2019s various things that are being introduced to try to level off the playing field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo there are steps being taken. I think these steps that are being taken will further tighten up the field,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The contents of this article can only be reused and republished by other media outlets in accordance with our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/formula1news.co.uk\/copyright-policy\/\">Copyright Policy<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For F1 fans in the UK, Karun Chandhok is no stranger, as, in addition to driving for HRT and Team Lotus around a decade ago, he is currently a prominent feature of Sky Sport\u2019s Formula One coverage, often serving as a pit-lane reporter and analyst.
