It is so exciting and exhilarating...just the thought of seeing these guys zip past at 350 kmph on TV...my god if and when F1 comes to India it would be a day to celebrate. Also happy to note that Hyderabad is the front-runner for the event which would be a good justice to the great city which otherwise receives less focus on the National level due to National bias and other interests. But to think I would be able to see them burn tyres here in India is such a wonderful thought and I hope that day would come soon...for it would be a day every indian could be proud of the fact that we have moved one level up the development chain...
The CM of Andhra offered every possible help and promised to build roads,hotels to accomadate ,etc,. for the event and they found the facilities here. They would have decided Hyderabad as a front - runner only after taking all these into account. But great for hyderabadis though first the WTA Tennis Event and there is a chance of this :)
Its great to hear that authorities are realizing India's growing interest in F1. This will encourage many young talents to take up F1 and most importantly, many more sponsors will come up to sponsor the sport.

Please.... the persons will be tired wiping their sweat in a city like hyd. Horrible weather, how can anyone house such a prestigious circuit in such a city
Its really nice to hear that formula one is finally expected to enter india. At the same time its nice to hear that Hyderabad might host it. I've seen some messages which were against the selection of Hyderabad. Y should not it be Hyderabad. After all it has got the most aggressive CM in the form of Naidu and It is the only city which is making strides in development considering the fact that, It got developed just because of pure determination and hardwork of government. It doesn't have any base like chennai and mumbai..which has been places of development since the time of britishers.
choosing hyderabad is really not convincing. its pathetic to note that they are choosing a city by technology for a f1 race venue intead of race tracks and the crowd support. if properly seen Chennai is the right place considering the long history of the origin of our racers and the famous race track at Sriperumbudur, Chennai.
