Formula 1 which is an ultimate arena for speed machines to compete has extended its presence to India. Well, there has been a great progress in terms of India’s involvement in F1 which started with Narian Karthikeyan getting into Jordan team. UB group &

Kingfisher owner Dr. Vijay Mallya , who has been a sponsor for the Toyota has bought Midland F1 team and named it “Force India”. This has put India on the F1 map which now hopes to see a F1 race in Delhi by 2010/11.

There is no dearth of talent in India. Karun Chandhok , Armaan Ibrahim are to name a few. The increase in the funds for this sport & popularity of Karting has made many daring young kids to get into the sport. With Karun getting a chance to test with Redbull racing, its a clear indication that Indian’s are competitive enough. Force India needs to provide a platform and nurtures the Indian talent.

I hope the quote “Its not about winning or losing , its about the pride ” is not a media gimmick to attract viewers in India, but a true statement which i think would win the hearts of Indian fans replacing the Ferrari’s and McLaren’s….
