[[File:Hispania F111 Kartikeyan 2011 Spanish GP-2.jpg|thumb|right|Karthikeyan driving for HRT at the [[2011 Spanish Grand Prix]].]]
On 6 January 2011, Karthikeyan announced that he would drive for the Hispania team in the {{F1|2011}} season,<ref>{{cite news|last=Noble|first=Jonathan|title=Karthikeyan signs race deal with HRT|work=Autosport|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/88821|date=6 January 2011|access-date=6 January 2011}}</ref> following five years away from active involvement in the championship. He confirmed the deal via his [[Twitter]] page, saying it would be a "dream come true to race in front of the home crowd in the Indian GP in October," and adding that the support of financial backers [[Tata Group]] had been "instrumental".<ref>{{cite news|last=Weeks|first=Jimmy|title=KARTHIKEYAN LANDS HISPANIA DRIVE FOR 2011|work=F1Badger.com|url=http://www.f1badger.com/2011/01/karthikeyan-lands-hispania-drive-for-2011/|date=6 January 2011|access-date=6 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110111104602/http://www.f1badger.com/2011/01/karthikeyan-lands-hispania-drive-for-2011/|archive-date=11 January 2011}}</ref>

Karthikeyan qualified in 24th at [[2012 Japanese Grand Prix|Suzuka]], having crashed in practice and therefore having to use an old-spec chassis floor. He was running ahead of Pic and de la Rosa for quite some time until retiring with vibrations on lap 32. He did a one-stop strategy in [[2012 Korean Grand Prix|Korea]] and finished last in 20th, almost a lap behind Pic in 19th. In [[2012 Indian Grand Prix|India]] he once again finished last, running with minor wing damage from a collision at the first corner. He retired in spectacular fashion on lap 9 in [[2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix|Abu Dhabi]] after his steering broke and he was rear-ended by [[Nico Rosberg]]. He qualified 24th in [[2012 United States Grand Prix|Austin]] amid fears that both he and his teammate would be outside the 107% time after struggling to heat the tyres in practice on the brand-new circuit, and then finished last in 22nd, also being accused by Vettel of holding him up when being lapped and allowing [[Lewis Hamilton]] to take the lead. He qualified 23rd in [[2012 Brazilian Grand Prix|Brazil]] and peaked as high as 11th during the incident-packed opening stint of the race. He eventually dropped back and finished last in 18th. He finished the season in 24th, with zero points.
From 2014–2018, Karthikeyan raced in Japanese [[Super Formula]] series.<ref>{{cite news |date=5 February 2014 |title=Narain Karthikeyan to race in 2014 Super Formula season |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report-narain-karthikeyan-to-race-in-2014-super-formula-season-1959619 |work=Daily News and Analysis}}</ref> In 2019, he ended his single-seater career by joining [[Super GT]] series in Japan.
