Full Speed Ahead Asia

Posted by Sid_Choudhary On October - 1 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

The Formula 1 bandwagon moves through Asia this month and could well have a World champion in a matter of 9 days. The Grand Prix’s of Japan, Korea and, for the first time, India all promise to be nail-biting affairs.

Japanese Grand Prix – Suzuka
The 15th race of season will be one of the most eagerly anticipated. Red Bull Racing’s Sebastien Vettel is aiming to become the youngest double World champion in F1 history at Suzuka. His closest rival, Jenson Button is 129 points behind him and is the only driver with a mathematical chance of catching him. Vettel has come first or second in all but one race this season and a top two finish would see him claim the world title for the second year running.

Korean Grand Prix – Yeongam
In all likelihood, the World Championship will be wrapped up by the time the teams move to Korea, which could make this race even better. With nothing to lose, the likes of Vettel, Webber and Button could all find themselves battling out for a place at the top of the podium. However, any slipups by Vettel in Japan could mean he is eager to finish the job at Yeongam.

Grand Prix of India – New Delhi
Formula 1 comes to India for the first time in its history and is expected to produce an enthralling grand prix. The Buddh International Circuit will host its first grand prix at the end of October and Force India, owned by Indian multi-billionaire Vijay Mallya, will be hoping to impress on their home track.
