Local shines on Indian track

The narrative of the inaugural Indian Grand Prix was broadly similar to that we have seen often this year: Sebastian Vettel drove his Red Bull from pole position to win the race while a McLaren and Ferrari collided.

However, local hero Narain Karthikeyan outperformed expectations and sparked what might be the beginning of significant public and corporate interest in F1 from the sub-continent.

Whilst the bhangra folk dancing in the paddock was unique on the F1 calendar - and most welcome - the only topic of much debate was whether this time Lewis Hamilton or Felipe Massa was to blame.
