For the first time ever in the history of Formula One a ‘Pundit’ has blessed Formula One cars and drivers at the Sauber-Ferrari pit lane
Over its 6 decades of existence the world’s most glamorous motorsport has graced many nations and cultures with its fast cars and rich and famous drivers. Come 2011 and Formula One has graced India with its glamorous cars and drivers.
The fusion of cultures has been a very harmonious one with every single Formula One driver becoming extremely fascinated by Indian culture and especially the Indian cuisine which they have sadly been kept strictly off before the race for obvious reasons.
As for culture the teams seem to be taking extremely well to Indian culture and customs. So much so that keeping to Indian traditions the Sauber-Ferrari team arranged a ‘Vishwakarma Puja’ session at their pit lane so that their Formula One cars and drivers, Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez could be blessed before the first ever practice session on the Buddh International Circuit.
It was a stunning affair as no one has ever seen customs and traditions ever mingle with the Formula One motorsport. Check out our gallery to take a look at the proceedings of the ‘Puja’.
