Karun Chandhok says he respects the Hispania teams decision to replace him with Sakon Yamamoto for the German GP.
“It’s a team decision and I’ve got to respect that,” he told Talksport radio.
The Japanese driver, Yamamoto, took over Bruno Senna’s race seat at Silverstone for the British GP last weekend, but this coming weekend, he’ll take-over the Indian drivers seat.
Chandhok explained that the team aren’t in a position to evaluate their drivers with the in-season testing ban, so it makes sense for them to rotate their drivers.
“The team have taken the decision that they’re going to rotate drives between the four of us that are on contracts.
“At the end of the day we are not fighting for the championship or for points, and with the current testing regulations, it’s quite difficult for them to evaluate drivers during a season.
“All four of us are Superlicence drivers, so we can’t do the young driver days at the end of the season, and we also missed the pre-season testing.”
