We have made some ethics, conducts, rules and regulations but it ain’t gonna change, everything is all for nothing, we just call it the civil and global world of business but in true sense it’s nothing more than a hollow world of money and fame. Let me get straight to you and explain all about this crap.
We all love watching formula one , don’t we?? And for Italy this game is a tradition, being home to the Ferrari it becomes much more than a racing sport. For U.K, America, Spain and Germany this sport has been a chance for their home car manufacturers to showcase their supremacy. And not to forget is the country Japan, which is the only Asian country that took this sport very seriously from the starting and took part in races from the beginning of this sport. For example “Honda” , which is a Japanese car company introduced it’s F1 cars with Europe and America, it also introduced the Japanese grand prix sooner than any other Asian country. Now with Asia in house, for example a number of countries are hosting F1 grand prix like Japan(Fuji speedway), Malaysia(Sepang), Bahrain(Sakhir), china(shanghai international), Turkey(Istanbul park), an Eurasian country which stretches across the western Asia to southeastern Europe, Singapore, which is to stage a night grand prix this year in September and India, soon to host in 2010, are among a few Asian countries.
Formula one is spreading!! Good for Bernie Ecclestone, who runs the formula one and good for the formula one sport itself!! But here it falls, the color of dirty business haunts this spectacular sport. Every thing was going fine, Europeans took this sport by heart, Americans loved it with all their respect, even Asians also liked it but as the country India put the hammer down, everything changed!! A country with as low per capita income as $862 launches itself into this sporting business. With a liquor baron, enough money to buy a loss making formula one team from a Dutch mol family, good for Vijay Mallya who is known as “the king of good times” in India, changed the name from spykerf1 to forceindiaf1. Why I call it bad?? He degraded this sport by doing so. In the history of f1 the supremacy of race was always considered by the dominance of a car company not by the dominance of a country. To explain it further, the points which are given to winners include the driver’s points, the team’s points. But in formula one there is no provision of giving points to the country. The drivers in formula one represent teams not their countries. Then how come an owner of a formula one team changes the beautiful name like Spyker to a hardliner like forceindia??? There is no doubt Vijay Mallya degraded this beautiful sport by being a nationalist, especially when a sport like f1 does not consider boundaries of nations and makes the drivers teammate who belong to the countries which took part against each other in some time back during cold war!
Alright, let's give Mr. Mallya a chance, let's consider he is a nationalist who likes India by his heart and soul and he can do any anything for his native land. Now it's time for the litmus paper test for patriotism!!
Two Indian drive
rs, one is a former Jordan Ford driver Narain Karthikeyan, a very unpopular one that hardly a formula one fan can recognize him and the other one , Karun Chandok, another driver who drives in GP2 series but has his dream to drive a formula one car.
(see the Spyker during 2007 session)
As for Karthikeyan to get the break again and for Chandok to drive a formula one car, both of their dreams were about to come true when they came to know that an Indian entrepreneur has bought a formula one team and has renamed it as 'Force India'. Obviously, by seeing such a patriotic act by a person who bought a F1 team which looks like, as the new name "Force India" suggests is going to give opportunity to two Indian drivers to drive not for the team but for their loving nation. But this patriotic act is not so patriotic at all as the Indian hero Vijay Mallya gives the contract to the former Renault driver the dashing Italian Giancarlo Fisichella. Well, so bad for Chandok as it was clear that teammate of this Italian can't be him, the clear option is Fisi and Karthikeyan, one Indian and the other Italian. Finally, bad for Karthikeyan too, it was decided to let the German Adrian Sutil drive the new Force India as he drove Spyker last year.
At this Narain Karthikeyan was very disappointed, even he made a comment public that he was expecting to be one of the driver in the Force India cockpit. Anyways,there is no doubt that Vijay Mallya has hired the two foreigner and skilled drivers just to earn money because he does not want to let his team run in loss, then why on earth he named his team "Force India" when he had nothing to do with his country. The only thing matters to him is money and this time around he has used his dirty tricks to do this "dirty business"!!!
So far three races has gone by and "Force India" has scored no points but it can improve significantly as Mallya has invested heavily in the improvements of the car with technical support of Giancarlo Fisichella.
