Dear_idiot!! This is not government money !! This is private money, which is employing thousands of people.
people like hamilton or schumacher have to say such things. such statements make them popular in India which in turn brings endorsements..lots of money. as simple as that.
The name Buddh International Circuit is not appropriate. Buddha was an apostle of peace. Formaula 1 is a high speed sport. These two dont go together. May be JP should think of a new name
INDIAN DRIVERS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD....F1 IS PRECISELY WHAT THEY NEED....ALREADY INDIANS ARE AT THE LEVEL OF F4/F5 ON THE ROADS, WITH BUDH CIRCUIT THEY WILL BE ON TOP OF F1 IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. Today tractors-trolleys and sand carriers are racing with Honda Citys on the Expressways and getting their way !!! What is F1... We have Rural Sports in Ludhiana with bullock cart races, farmers racing on twin bulls, USA has truck races... F1 will do a lot for automobile industry as well as motorsports in India... Mera Bharat Mahaaan.
