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.
