Formula 1 its Coming To India !!!

Tweet

As any other Indian i have grown up watching Cricket and for long time its been my Favourite sport too , but its not a priority for me any more , yes India is world No. 1 team in tests and in top 3 in ODIs but they have failed to win at Important occasions , it doesn't hurt much now when India loses as it used to hurt  some years back we have got used to it now i suppose.

This has led me to venture other Sports in world Circuit and one of the Sport which is on top of that list is Formula 1 and yesterday i got the news that its coming to India in October 2011 which has made me overjoyed . Its good that we are making our name in Sports that are watched by most of the people in the world which will only add in development of our country.

I guess my farthest memory of Formula 1 goes back when Mika Hakinen retired in 2001 that was the year when i first watched it. The things that makes me crazy about Formula 1 is the noise of its Engine Kkeeeeeeee Kkeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and its shear pace. Cars overtaking each other , so many crashes, which type of tyre to use, engines blowing up thats so amazing .Firstly i was little confused about its rules,the Qualifying,Pit lanes, the point system but gradually i developed my knowledge on them. 

Then there was Michael Schumacher who was on a spree to win back to back F1 Championships , how can you stay away from a game if it have such an Ambassador related with it. The Red colour of his Ferrari enthralls you immediately.

On the Qualifying day thats Saturday i used to be glued on my TV watching who gets which place to start from, Qualifying is same fun as the Race day, the fate of the race hugely depends on how you perform in Qualifying, now a days Qualifying's rules have changed a lot they have split Qualifying session in three Quarters before it was a single round where everybody gets chance to grab pole position, now the best 16 cars from 24 goes to second round and top 10 cars in second round goes to last round from which top ten Qualifying spots are lined up.

 On the race day the strategies used to follow up who takes the advantage at the start, how much fuel is carried by the car,at what time car comes in pit lanes, the time car spends in pit lanes for refueling and tyre changes these are many minute details which differentiates the best teams from others . The fact that Driver driving a car speeding more than 300KMPH and experiencing G forces at various turns makes it a really competitive game , the one who is physically and mentally stronger can only survive. And at last if you have any close finish like the car at Second spot overtakes the first spot car at the Chequered  flag your day was made.

Narain

Karun Chandhok

I knew Narain Karthikeyan was in talks with various Formula 1 teams , he tested with minnows like Minardi and Jaguar and then in year 2005 he became the first Indian driver to race in Formula 1 that was a huge news for Indian Formula 1 fans, Indians were never considered with sports like these and here we have an Indian who was driving a Jordan F1 car , in first few races he outplayed his teammate Tiago Monteiro of Portugal , Karthikeyan is known for his aggressiveness  and he displayed that in his driving but his stint with Formula 1 didn't last longer and next year he could not find a place for himself in racing contingent but he took the role of testing driver with Williams, later he droved for Team India in A1 GP, now as we know he is driving in NASCAR and is the first Indian to do so . This year Karun Chandok became second Indian  to grab a place in Formula 1 team, but with minnows Hispania Racing team, most of the time he used to finish at the end  of pack but that was because of his underdeveloped car and now in the middle of racing season he is dropped from his team i guess for financial reasons as you have to pay a handsome amount of money to teams for racing. Looks like this post again is becoming a very long one i will not take your much time believe me.

In the meantime Vijay Mallya bought his own team in formula 1 called Force India F1 and there you have an Indian F1 team owner what more you could ask more from King of Good Times. As the Car was based on Old Jordan platform no one was hoping wonders from it, but with gradual improvements in Car with some good Engineers and able driver lineup with Experienced Giancarlo Fisichella  and young Adrian Sutil it came out with some surprising results and is now with points in most of the races.

And now India is on the map of Formula 1, It will be the 18th race in 20 race season which is slated on 30th October 2011. The place will be Greater Noida Sports City adjacent to National Capital, New Delhi. For a city to hold a Formula 1 race it should have  world Class Infrastructure which comprises of a 7 star hotel and an Airport in vicinity is a must. Yes the date is finalized but still a a clearance from FIA is needed which will inspect every aspect and will give its clearance after its happy with the complete work. All we can do is hope that everything will be fine and it does not end up in a mess like our CWGs are now in.

Proposed Circuit for Indian Formula 1 Race

The Circuit which is built by Jaypee Group is 5.16km long with 16 corners having some steep turns and bends and there would also be some places which will give Cars opportunities to overtake making the race more exciting. The total estimated cost of Complex is around 1600 Crores which will be built in 360 acres of land. The Circuit is designed by German architect Herman Tilke they say he has designed all the F1 circuits since Sepang in Malaysia in 1999. One of the features of Formula 1 race is that around 1lac people watch it in the stadium itself making it the most watched Sport also it is followed by millions of people across the world on TeleVision. Hopefully it will be a huge success and will surely adds in the development of our country. I have my fingers crossed and hoping for a place in stands when the 5 red lights go off on the Race Day.

How I Fared in Sports

Tweet

Football World Cup has just started and people are going crazy about it(So do i !) , so i thought why not have a post with relation to sport. No i will not write about the Football World Cup, i know you guys have every knowledge regarding this. So where do i go ? What better to tell you about myself in Sports. Before starting I must tell you that i was no great Sportperson but i tried my best.
First few years of my life were spent in Meerut(about when i was 6,7 years old) all i know about sports was Poshampa Poshampa(The same girly game where we used to make a passage by holding hands by two persons and rest used to go under that passage) or playing with some Toys. I don't remember playing any Outdoor game at that time. As my school was not that big and no playgrounds there, sports was not entertained there all what i remember about that school is we used to roam around in corridorand then Principal Sir coming on to the Corridor and we taking an exit to our classes. At that time when i was in UKG students in Ist class appeared to very experienced guys.

Then we moved to Delhi, as my school was Big and having a good playground i first encountered Outdoor sports there same i got in my colony. Firstly as everybody i was inclined towards Cricket we had a group there and i soon began Captain of our team. In School for the first time i played i was handed the Ball to bowl first over(Some of my friends in my colony also studied at same school they must have told how good i play to my classmates). And i bowled the first ball, batsman came down and Wacked ! ball was in the air i called fo the catch and damn ! i dropped it. From that day i was not given any hype in my school. But there in School i played many games including Hockey,Football,Kho Kho. As i was very agile i always gave my 100 %. We used to play Gitte(a game played with marble cubes),Hide & Seek,run races in our colony. Started watching Cricket on TV and yes WWF(ya we call it WWE now) I was comfortble playing with leather ball at that time in Cricket.I continued to be a good sportsman in my colony but no luck in School. 

After passing 6th Grade we moved to Betul(a District in southern Madhya Pradesh). first thing i saw is that no body plays with Leather ball there they, play with Tennis balls. I thought it would be easy for me but here i get some seniors to play with and they will never give me chance to ball or bat in starting, all i got was last place in batting and few ball to ball. Anyhow i could not make any impression and same continued in my School. One thing everybody used to admire me was of my fielding skills in Cricket. So i thought why not try my hands on Football. And there was Football tournament in our school. Everybody was told that in evening practice session will be organised and from them players will be chosen. I attended all the sessions. On the day of selecton i went to my school i was surprised to see that playing 11 was selected already and most of the selected were guys who didn't even attended the practice session. And we who took every session were told to Kick the Football once and they will see if we know how to kick a football, our selection was hanging on that kick only. I know this was Curtain Over for us. I guess this is also the problem with our Indian Sport system,guys with not much ability are chosen over talented ones. Thats why we don't see too many Indians performing well at the International level.

Before i used to think that i will become a sport person but after that my hopes were over. See Australia a country with little over 20mn people they are playing Football,Cricket,Rugby at the higest level even they are very good at Olympics. But we more than 1 bn people have to content with Cricket which is played by not more than 10 countries in the world(ask someone about Cricket in US,Canada or any non Cricket playing country and first word they will say is What ? pardon please)
Again we moved to Meerut and now i was not having much interest in Sports. Now i just follow sports on Television and hope that a day will come when our country will be
amongst the 32 teams that play World Cup Football or someday we will host Olympics.

Sports that i follow are Cricket(as usual),Lawn Tennis,Formula 1, Cycling(Tour de France) and now days Football. Tweet
