F1 ... Here we come !!

After cricket and football (not the local football ... the EPL .. huh) ga ga in India its time for F1 to cash in. Well this was bound to happen sooner than later. After all, we have all money spinners in India now ... :D ...

The richest man in the world, 1st win for India in A1 GP, Spykar take over by Dr. Vijay Mallya (now named as ForceIndia) and now -- Spice Energy from India in a bid to take over the Super Aguri team which is considered as the B team for Team Honda.

Now the deal -- Narain Karthikeyan is to be one of the drivers in team. Should this be acceptable ?? Hmmm ... doesn't Narain have the talent to make into the drivers spot by his own ?? Does he require a company to strike a deal for him ?? Is spice doing a business or what ?? Doesn't it see profit in taking over the car manufacturer alone ?? Why does the company insist on having Narain as their driver ?? and many more questions are being raised about the deal.

One things for sure though, India is making inroads into the F1 circuit which was once seen as a sport for western countries. It would not be a surprise if we would have a F1 race in India within next 2 years now. Go India Go.
