RE:to all bandwagoner cricket fans - F1 is a different game

unfortunately no indian driver for force india. narain is finished, barely able to keep a place in A1. chandok seems to be coming up.
Rediff should know, F1 was the most popular TV sport, only after Cricket, in India, much before Force India debuted. So 'Ferrari Double' would definitely look better than 'Force India manage double finish'.
If anybody observed. During the Post race press Conference, When Kimi was Speaking, Star Sports Mentioned. KIMI RAIKONEN (Mclarn) 2nd Postion. It was realy bad from a repute Bradcast.ESS.

Yes Dude ... I Observed that... Its a Shame.....He changed team 2 seasons ago ..... still these guys are sticking with old names....
i had personally seen todays race, its good to see our driver fiscichella finishing better than lewis hamilton and david coutard.
having fiscichella for our forceindia 1 team itself is a very big achivement by vijay mallya to the sport of formula1 for which no sponsors were coming to invest untill finally Tata and JK tyre atleast helped narian karthikeyan to fulfill his formula1 dream with jordan and williams team.
narian can finish 11 th , then fiscella the one of the finest drivers of micheal schumacher era can finish more better.

instead of abusing , please appreciate and congratulate vijay mallya for invwating a lot in various sports in India.
kingfisher-formula1-forceindia1
kingfisher-football-east bengal football club
mcdowells-football-mohun bagan football club
signature-golf-various rich tournaments

EVven though he has invested for his publicity also , but its proud thing that atleast he is investing similar to the corporate bodies like TATA, SAHARA which are better than govt bodies and Relaince in helping indian sports get sponsor and funds and to develop

Hey... If everybody can just participate and come first in F1... You are welcome to try it!!! Even pedigreed companies like Ferrari struggle and you have the gall to talk abt not coming first.... Dude... Be sensible and have some pride in your country

this guy rana does not even abc of F1, even teamgle like ferrari and mclaren struggle to perform. See example of toyota its still struggling. F1 is not that easy mr rana.
It is shame for Force India, that out of so many races, Force India drivers finished for the 1st time. And instead improving cars to make them win and going to kill, they r only satisfied with finishing the lap. Fiscichella quite a few times had a podium finish in the races. Now he is not even able to finish the race. And the Force India is rejoicing about this thing

are u expecting a podium so soon do u know any thing about F1.Red bull and williams are there for more than 50 years still they can top with ferrari and mclaren. u ediot Force ondia is know only focussing on midfeild battle,so their target will be 10 to 15 places thats far more better in their first season.

go and learn something before you speak dude. car technology is a very important part of F1, and in this respect Force India is just starting, to actually get a podium finish it will take minimum 2-3 yrs. Fisi was on someother car when he got podium finish.

Good said buddy people just open their mouth and speak and never try to understand the hardwork put in the effort. Vijay Mallya is a real strong person and we should thank him that he has brought India on this circuit and definately his Force India would be the podium leader one day..... very soon. Good Luck Mr Vijay Mallya

Man .. remember onething.. this is the first double finish for the eso called great Ferrariz. In this era of F1 .. the car mechanics are very much important .. and makin a last line car to finish in 12 th place is amazing !

You also have to remember BMW is a car manufacturer while Force India is a "privateer" that is has no automobile manufacturing of its own. Toyota with the largest budget in F1 has not been able to build a good package to win. Force India will take a few years or by then Mallya would have sold it.

OK they will need time to make podium finishes. So what about the drivers not completing the full no. of laps. That means the cars are not upto the F1 standards.
that was really good improvement both by the drivers and the team 'cause i really admired the way Fisichella could hold off Hamilton for a while. It was giving me the impression that it was the same car both fisichella and hamilton driving!!!

What about electric energy required for flood lights during day-night cricket matches? And, not to mention millions of gallons of water required to keep the ground lush green?

F1 is a important event which pushes R&D which will help humans, its not 100% waste like cricket
