Karun Chandhok (Tamil: கருண் சந்தோக்; born 19 January 1984) is an Indian former racing driver and broadcaster, who competed in Formula One at 11 Grands Prix from 2010 to 2011.

Since leaving F1, Chandhok has served as an analyst, co-commentator and pit-lane reporter for a variety of British broadcasters.

Since 2021, he has served on the Board of Directors of Motorsport UK, where he has also been a member of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee.

He was instantly a top 5 qualifier and finisher when he partnered his compatriot Narain Karthikeyan at RC Motorsport in the World Series by Nissan for the final two rounds the 2004 season.

Chandhok also led the sprint race in Turkey after starting from pole, only for the second place Kazuki Nakajima of DAMS to collide with him.

Chandhok believed that the commercial benefits for the team running an Indian driver made him an obvious choice.

Chandhok retired in the next three races with suspension failure in Spain, an accident with Jarno Trulli in Monaco and more technical problems in Turkey.

He finished 18th in Canada and Valencia, and 19th at Silverstone, but was dropped for the German Grand Prix onwards, in favour of Sakon Yamamoto.

After driving in a further three free practice sessions he replaced Jarno Trulli for the German Grand Prix.

[14] For 2012, Chandhok drove in the FIA World Endurance Championship for JRM Racing in a Honda Performance Development ARX-03a with co-drivers David Brabham and Peter Dumbreck.

Chandhok drove in the FIA GT Series for the 2013 season in a last minute deal for Seyffarth Racing.

He was joined in the car by Jan Seyffarth, who had been competing in the German GT series for his family run team.
