More than a decade ago, India tasted the thrill of Formula 1 (F1) racing. For three unforgettable years, the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida came alive with the roar of engines, the blur of cars hurtling down the straights, and the electricity of 90,000 fans on their feet.
Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, and Michael Schumacher—some of the biggest names in motorsport—raced on Indian soil, waving to Indian crowds. It wasn’t just a sporting event. It was a statement. A belief that India could take its place on the global F1 calendar and stay there.
