Karun placed third at Monaco

He then gained a place from Adrian Valles in the mandatory pitstops, but lost one to Romain Grosjean. He would take the position back, however, when Grosjean crashed.

Running fourth, Chandhok was chasing Mike Conway for the final position on the podium. With the gap coming down at over a second a lap, there was a lapped car between them, but instead of getting in Karun8217;s way, the back-marker Javier Villa collided with Conway, sending the Englishman wide and allowing Karun through.

Team8217;s one-three

Karun was able to negotiate his way past their collision and score a glorious third position, making it an iSport one-three, as his team-mate Bruno Senna won the race.

8220;To be on the podium in Monaco is the best place in the world,8221; said Chandhok. 8220;This track isn8217;t physically difficult, but it8217;s mentally challenging, so to finish in the top three, you really deserve it.8221;
