I cried for Sutil!!!!!

Force India are really minnows compared to all other great F1 teams. I believe while competing their(minnow teams) focus remains on max 5 constructor points at the end of the season. (Funding to such teams is still mystery to me. Every billionaire tries his hand and fulfills his fancies by owning F1 team..this is what I believe). On Sunday they were very close to their debut on scorecard. They were hardly 4 laps away from full 5 points. The great German Andrian Sutil would have gone in history books with broad smile and also the great Indian Vijay Mallya, ever-enthusiastic Rich-Man.

I was following game on net. I was disappointed initially to see none of the Ferrari's leading the race even though qualified on front row. But Adrian's heroics caught my eyes. He must have drove wonderfully as Steve Slater picked him up as Driver of the race. I really cried when I read KR banged his car and he retired from the race. For a driver like Sutil and Constructor like Force India, it was once in year opportunity and it really slipped out of their hands due to somebody Else's mistake.

Consolation for Sutil as well as Force India came from KR as well as every F1 follower. I believe Force India looks at this lost opportunity as a step stone towards competitive future and races hard here onwards.

Hail Sutil for his heroics.
