Karthikeyan, Chandhok talented; but skills matter: Coulthard

New Delhi: Indian drivers Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok have no dearth of talent, but they have to

work on their adjustment skills to be successful in Formula One, according to former F1 ace David Coulthard. "You have great drivers like Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandhok, who are full of confidence and have good potential. Karun is racing in GP2. But then it would be difficult to say how they would perform if you put them in the (F1) car," Coulthard said. "When a driver moves from one form of racing to another, it becomes altogether difficult to comment how he would perform in the new stage," said the 38-year-old former `Red Bull` racer. Coulthard was also not ready to buy the sentiment that Vijay Mallya-owned F1 team Force India should have given a chance to Chandhok after Giancarlo Fisichella switched loyalty to Ferrari team in the middle of the season. "It`s not on the basis of nationality you people should decide, but on the basis of skills and potential.” "Local support is very important for any country and a local driver would be a great thing, but then you have to think -- Is he (the driver) good enough for the highest level? Is he capable of performing under pressure?" Coulthard said. Bureau Report
