Force India did the unbelievable

Yes, Force India did the unbelievable thing in F1 circuit. Firstly, at the Belgian Gran Prix 2009 they got the pole position. That was simply unthinkable a few months back. Great work by Giancarlo Fisichella. It took 29 starts to reach this milestone and the first points for Force India. For Fisichella this is the first pole since 2006.

Second, Force India finished second at the end of the race. Even that is simply an amazing feat by a car that doesn't have the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). One has to appreciate Fisichella's racing skill to keep a cool mind till the end of race and see to that he stands on the podium.

Fisichella's team mate Adirian Sutil finished 11th, much better than the earlier experiences wherein they had to dropout due to technical failures etc. Also Sutil did not fall below the position he started with. Overall, its a memorable day for Team Force India.

It is simply unbelievable feat. Sometime back there were reports that teams like Force India should not be allowed to race in formula one race as these teams have not performed much. Now these critics needs to re-evaluate the team and should stop passing unwarranted comments on any laggard teams.

Also its a proud day for the billion plus Indians. Its only a day ago the sports minister commented that India do not need to hold formula one racing in its backyard as there are other burning problem they have to tackle. This should be a good reason to kick the lazy minister into some concrete action to create facilities for formula racing in the country.
