Mumbai: Invited for the Indian GP by formula one boss Bernie Ecclestone, Sachin Tendulkar is mighty thrilled to witness yet another race day.
When Sachin Tendulkar was asked in 2004 about the possibility of India hosting a Formula One race in a few years' time, he said, "I hope that it happens because there are plenty of Formula One fans in India. It's a new sport that is picking up very quickly and the new generation is hooked".
The time has come and on October 30, world cricket's biggest draw will witness a historic event in the history of Indian sports as the nation hosts its first Formula One Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida.
"I'm really excited about this event. I was invited by Bernie Ecclestone (Formula One boss) on the last tour of England," Tendulkar told MiD DAY at the Mumbai Cricket Association's Bandra Kurla Complex ground. The batting maestro is recovering from a toe injury that has kept him out of the ongoing India vs England one-day series.
Formula One has been one of Tendulkar's best-loved sports for a while, watching it since 2000. He is delighted for his country's sports-loving public that they now have an opportunity to witness the exhilaration which Formula One lends itself to. "What you see on television is far different from what one sees at the venue," said Tendulkar, who has been to quite a few races. "The noise and speed levels are 15 to 20 per cent greater that what one can imagine... it's great," he said.
He witnessed his first Grand Prix at Silverstone while he was on the 2002 tour to England and met German legend Michael Schumacher the evening before Race Day. In fact, it was Schumacher, who presented him with the keys of the Ferrari car, which is now owned by a businessman from Surat.
"It's a great feeling to be at a race, watch the speeding cars and the turns that the drivers take. Year before last, I had the pleasure of witnessing the British Grand Prix with (Formula One legends) Sir Jackie Stewart and Sir Frank Williams. Just the three of us watched that race together," said Tendulkar.

Karthikeyan: India will 'surprise' F1
Narain Karthikeyan says Formula 1 will find India an 'eye-opening' experience when the grand prix fraternity comes to race in the nation for the first time this weekend.
Karthikeyan will return to an HRT race seat, replacing Tonio Liuzzi, for his country's first GP, which takes place at the new Buddh International Circuit, and he thinks F1 will love - and be surprised by - his home nation.
"It will certainly be an eye-opener, there's no two ways about it," said Karthikeyan.
"There are many things that they will be surprised about, but it will be an interesting place and 90 per cent of the [F1] people will love it."
Karthikeyan also reckons drivers will be impressed by the Buddh circuit.
"They've taken a lot of corners from many tracks - they've kind of taken the best and put it there," he said. "There are a lot of medium-speed corners, and a long straight. It's very wide in places. It's nice."
The circuit is another brainchild of established F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke, but Karthikeyan does not think it will be regarded as just another Tilke track.
"In all the safety aspects, yes. But it has more character," he said. "There is a lot of up and down... even on the main straight you climb up and then come down and then climb up and brake. It's come out really well."
The 34-year-old admitted that the Indian public were likely to be disappointed to see him at the back of the field with HRT, and that those new to F1 might struggle to understand his lack of pace.
"Obviously there is a lot of buzz happening and a lot of media interest," said Karthikeyan.
"Everyone is expecting me to do well, but it's going to be hard to explain to the Indian public why you're at the back of the grid because they don't understand like the Europeans. But nevertheless, I think they'll enjoy it.
"It will be very difficult [to explain]. The easiest way is to say that we can't compete with Ferrari or McLaren because we don't have the resources, and that's absolutely true.
"But what they do realise is that equipment is important in Formula 1, because Michael [Schumacher] has a huge following in India, and they realise that he was dominating and now he has come back and since then he hasn't even had a podium, so people do realise that it's not only about the drivers, in Formula 1 it's also the cars."
