Many Indian were heart broken to learn that it crashed out of the race in the very first lap. It was a disastrous start but it has left some hope in many Indians that there is a tomorrow. In the Malaysian Grand Prix, Force India did not disappoint and came in 12 after completing all rounds. This is great news.
Maybe in future Indian name will figure in many more places apart from cricket.
