Force India finished forth..

Call it sports illiteracy or call it pure negligence or may be like Government of India our journalist fraternity also think that Formula1 is not a sport. Otherwise Adrian Sutil's achievement today in a Force India - Mercedes car would not have gone unnoticed for almost two hours. That too when just a week back news papers had a full page coverage on the achievement of Fishichella in the same car.

Well, just over two hours back Adrian Sutil drove his Force India Mercedes to fourth position (partly helped my Hamilton) and collected some points for his team. Call it a sweet poetic justice as Fishichella who was driving his dream Ferrari finished 9th. The year is turning out be good for Vijay Mallya. First Royal Challengers finished second in the IPL II and now his team has collected points in back to back races. Just sometime back he set a target of 2010 for the first podium finish but then Fishichella drove a brilliant race and finished second. As many people were speculating, Fishichella joined Ferrari as a substitute driver and Vijay Mallya agreed to release him (don't know whether money changed hands or not). The last two races have been really great for Force India and all the credit should go to Mallya for giving a moment of sporting glory to the believers.

Anways, GOI (Govt of India) doesn't like to call it a sports because right now they are busy talking about austerity or things like that. So going by their definition Formula1 is not a sport and that's why they rejected a request from JFSK (JFSK is promoting F1 in India). Okay fine, it's not a sport then why it's a problem that a proviate company wants to organize a racing event in the country? Anyways lets leave this debate here. So those of you who 'celebrate with Kingfisher', I think Sutil has just given you a chance to 'celebrate for Kingfisher'. Enjoy.
