Dear Buddy,
Am really suprised with my fellow country men issues! people talk about Jobs for the Poor, Improve Infrastrusture, etc., but the same people pull our own Nation Down!
1.Singur - Political Mafia playing down Growth, it can create 1000's of Job (Direct) and several 1000's indirect. Will Bring Infrastructure....
2. Indonesia's SEZ.. our govt? they try... but people should cooperate....
There is another Mafia - Quota.... god! how Developments?
Lets us support our nation, we are one of the fastest growing powers... F1 can certainly bring Jobs, money and reputation! but Delhi can host just one event a year!
But Industries like Tata small car, SEZ can bring permanent Jobs! developments! exposure!
Lets try and support whoever does something good for the nation and people!

How can one relate F1 races to Global Warming, Poor and rich and development in India. Jobs can be created by any industry provided the sincere efforts are put by the project developers. Otherwise as usual in India it keeps on going for years together forcing the job aspirants to get frustrated.
infrastructure is the ned of the hour, india is still not up to scratch according the F1 bosses. apparently, we have been late entrants to the development party. nothing worry though, just that in or rush to develop we dont need nandigrams.
2 years back they have decided to put F1 track in Hyderabad but nunfortunately Chandra babu naidu has lost the ellection so the chances of F1 track coming to hyderabad also lost so now will it come back to hyderabad or some other city??? but one thing is sure it is gona generate huge revenue and jobs in both tourism and Automobile sector
F1 is the testing place for new automobile technologies.Will surely help India to move up the value chain in this sector.Can move beyond manufacturing.

No offence, but one question to you, where will you run those cars with new automobile technologies, on F1 track. think over it.

if im not wrong, and if you havent been reading it - the f1 technologies trickle down to all the cars that have been driving on the roads. the f1 tech pushes the limits of everything from tires to engine to everything in a car. i guess there are a lot of positives from such a move. esp tamil nadu being a hub of automotive industries, maybe thats a good place to start with. we really do not have the depth in automotive technology, F1 is an excellent showcase for such a purpose!

Not necessarily in India. Industries like automotive or aviation consist of a network of multiple value chains across the globe. One has to find a place in the chain and take advantage
RE:F1 the test lab for automotive sector
by Nilay on Apr 10, 2007 05:50 PM
well if it is so, really good idea Dr. Mathur. thank for sharing ur thought with me. really apreciated
F1 should be treated like what it is - a sport. It is not fair to say that we dont have good roads so lets not have good F1 roads. It is not a question of This OR that. Just like a pitch and outfield is needed for cricket and a court for tennis, you need a track for F1. While constructing a cricket stadium we dont say that farmers landholdings are shrinking and here we are making stadiums. Ultimately a venture has to be profitable and that's what it should be judged on.

Agree not a fair comparison, do india have enough fuel to supply for F1, petrol price are already touching sky.

Day and night matches consume so much electricity. Do we need them? Right, fuel prices are rising all the time. That's what i said, ultimately ventures like these should be profitable and self sustaining and ideally bring benefit a large no. of people, not just handful of organisers and administrators. F1 is just one issue, the point is we should not have have knee jerk emotional reactions to things. And if such ventures are largely private funded, it should be left to their judgement. Personally i find F1 very boring but someone may see a good business opportunity in it.

We dont need IT, F1, etc nbut we need food for the hungry people in India. Can we solve poor mans hunger by giving a computer or a ticket for F1? Guys, think about it. Media shouldnot focus much on these issues

by shweta jindal on Apr 10, 2007 07:52 PM
so do u wanna say dat we shudn't play ne sport in the country?? coz obviously a ticket to cricket match cant solve the problem either!!
get real man! if F! is here it ll bring new areas of employment to india!!no need to mention the revenues frm the tourism!!
RE:Do we need F1, IT?
by Sweet goldyyy on Apr 11, 2007 07:43 AM
I do agree with you but its not totally correct, is tourism the only way to improve the peoples lives. All countries would have focusedonly on tourism. There is need for another green revolution in India to combat drought and make farmers happy

dont comment witout basic knowledge.it will very useful in generating employement and attracting tourists.
Guys get real, stop selling dreams to indians, first improve basic necessity of public in india, this is not singapore or US of A, this is INDIA, first fight with global warming issue, which i think is hot in list. Wake up INDIANS..
There were years I watched every race of every season.But lets put it , its just a bunch of fast cars going round and round around a track.There are fewer crashes and moments of sheer racing.I think it may be more exciting to see how Shumacher or Alonso drive a regular in peak time traffic in any metropolis in India :P

by shweta jindal on Apr 10, 2007 07:56 PM
well ppl r not watching cricket coz india is not in WC nemore!dat DOES NOT mean dat cricket lost its charm!!
true fans of F1 will keep watchin it as long as we can!! maybe for u its "going round and round a track" but for us its real challenge!! i mean just think abt experiencing g-force for hrs!! its not for weak hearted!
RE:f1 losing charm
by vikram acharya on Apr 10, 2007 05:18 PM
totally agree with you - I used to watch every race of the season few years back but somehow i guess its lost its charms over the years

by J Shetty on Apr 16, 2007 10:25 PM
There is more to F1 thn just going round and round the tracks. if you watch closely there is hell lot of permutations and combinations when it comes to race strategy: fuel loads, pit timing etc. True it can be boring especially if you have a big divide amongst cars but this year should be thrilling especially among the top two.

dear franklin/vikram, sorry to reply to your comments, but please could u correct your statements to such as "i got bored by the routine laps" rather than pulling down the sport as such. every sport has its plus and minus, its just whether "U" like it or not. please dont blame the sport as such, blame the persons who spoil these sports. its like u always blame maths, if a bunch of jerks say "1 1=11", dont u think u should kick the ass of these guys rather than burn ur maths textbooks.
Any man-made stuff now-a-days is against the law of nature. Kindly stop enjoying at the cost of nature or stop blabbering about the Himalayan Glaciers melting down, or Global warming
