The sport I love.

Aggression meets speed in the insane world of formula one as the fast and the furious battle it out for that bottle of champagne. The sport is a perfect blend of technology and passion fuelled by the spirit of racing. Speed is the core element behind sport. In fact, in the middle ages sport WAS speed. While the number of sports multiplied in later centuries, one critical element remained costant. Speed. Sharapova's serve, Beckham's free kick, Vishy's checkmate, Shoaib's delivery.. all rely on speed. So where do you get to see speed in its purest form? Yeah. Racing.
F1's roots can be traced to Europe in the 1930's when motor racing was still a new sport. The sport was called grand prix racing till 1952 when it started being referred to as the formula one championship. Sixty years on the sport has grown to become the world's most popular championship spanning over 18 events and 6 continents.
Here in india f1 has a substantial viewership base second only to cricket. And with delhi all set to host its first f1 race in 2010 and a desi f1 team in the championship, cricket is in for some tough times ahead.
I'm a die hard ferrari fan. A tifosi to the heart. May the prancing horse rule the WDC this year..
GO KIMI!
GO MASSA!
