Fans often throng arenas to catch their favourite speed demons at racetracks across the world. But have you ever wondered what happens when an all-conquering Formula 1 car goes out to wow the fans? As thousands in Hyderabad found out, it results in fans getting delirious with joy, screaming their lungs out to cheer their favourite team and the bargain, their love for Formula 1 even getting stronger!
In 2009, Infiniti Red Bull Racing scorched through Mumbai’s iconic Bandra Worli Sea Link with its inimitable Red Bull F1 Showrun. In 2011, Daniel Ricciardo thrilled the Delhi crowd when he zipped across Rajpath – a stone’s throw away from the parliament house of the world’s biggest democracy – in New Delhi. After covering the West and the North, this time, the Silverstone-based team decided to head to the Southern part of India. This time, it wasHyderabad’s turn to host the unforgettable event.
Despite it being a hot summer morning on a lazy Sunday, resting on the tail end of the long Easter weekend, Hyderabadis thronged to the venue in huge numbers and with the same enthusiasm with which they celebrate their festivals. If there was need for any reassurance that India’s love for Formula One is alive and kicking, this was it. The fans’ enthusiasm could be gauged from the fact that people had started queuing up at the gates hours before the stipulated time.
