It was a great moment of pride for every Indian, when Force India's driver Fisichella grabbed the pole position in Belgian Grand Prix. Vijay Mallya, the aviation and liquor mogul could not have asked anything more than that. He responded by saying this "I am so proud of Giancarlo, the team in the garage and the factory and also for the entire Indian nation. There is nothing more to say. We've done both ourselves and the country proud." It was the Force India team's first-ever pole and the fourth for 36-year-old Fisichella, who has been heavily linked with a switch to Ferrari for next month's Italian Grand Prix. His last pole came at the 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix. After this, he will be under pressure to stay with the team that has given him a new lease of life - and added to the lustre of the 'golden oldies' running in Formula One. When we are facing a turbulent time in our country from our own sports ministry, at that moment basking such glory is really commendable. Here some people are trying to term it as entertainment rather then a sport and hence neglecting the evolution of this sport in our country. But don't they feel proud after getting this news. We have talented indigenous drivers who can really make it big at international stage. So why we are not providing them the facilities for that.

Ya, Fisichella makes us proud.
Saying that Sports ministry is doing nothing for promoting the soprts is too harsh.I am mentioning few the benefits what YAS is providing:
Pension to Meritorious Sportspersons Under Scheme of Meritorious Sportsperson, Assistance Provided from National Sports Development Fund (NSDF),
Assistance to Sportspersons in Indigent Condition, Assistance to National Sports Federations, Financial Assistance provided to sports persons and supporting personnel under the scheme relating to Talent search and training, Pensioners under the Scheme of National Welfare Fund for Sports person, Special award money to Boxers & coaches, Special Award money
The reality is that all the funds provided by the ministry are not reaching to the appropriate/deserving departments/candidates and the plans are not implemented properly. The reason could be bureaucracy or anything else but @ end, the loss is ours.
@ parul: Thanks for your precious information. I do agree that they are doing a good job, but you missed the controversy over F1 race in india. They termed that its not a sports rather its an entertainment and karun chandok a formula driver from india challenged them, thats why i thought about it.
