Alonso,Hamilton in India!!!!

Come year 2009 and all F1 racing fans would have a reason to smile.All of them might get an opportunity to meet Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton somewhere in northeren parts of this Country.This refers to recent news that a 5km track has been identified in Noida to host F1 grand prix in year 2009.Making the official statement,the concerned authorites said - "we received a request for this and we have informed them about our findings and the work required to develop this stretch.We can successfully host the first ever F1 grand prix in India".

Another game,another event, another expense and huge financial burden on government.Aprt from this, there would be some revenues,which would be peanuts when compared to the expenses.So,won't we get enough watchers for this action packed game?

Yes,Ofcourse we would get!!!If we take a guess at the number of F1 fans in this country,lets say 5 milion.How many of the would reach Noida to catch this action?This game has failed to thrill the masses as of now.Needless to say,all those follow this game are ardent fans and wont hesitate to spend huge bounty to catch this action live.So the revenues would surely flow in,there would be enough watchers,there would be enough sponsors(Mallyas seems to the frontrunners).IOA would be spending on building of this track and stadium for same.

Why F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone would agree to this?

He won't take any decision until it sees a hidden benefit in that.All the benefits which governement should get would be grabbed by him?He sees a long term benefit in conducting F1 in India.Economy boom,huge spending power,average earning age(20-30years),increasing urban culture are the factors taken into consideration before finalizing this.A calculated decisionto cash on the popularity of this game in India.

For IOA,there are better things to do.It has merely became a media nad entertainement authority with main aim of earnig revenues by organizing events.So better called as "Event Management Company".Though they are at far from their goal of promoting events by providing equal opportunities and facilities for all.

Despite all the critics,IOA would continue to function in same manner.IOA would surely produce loads of people to watch Alonso driving his speed machine but hardly anyone who would compete with him on track
