Not sure whether this is right thread but any Hockey fans out here. Here is complete match of 1975 world cup hockey final. First and probably last time India won world cup. <br><br>
The day an American buys an IPL team is the day that IPL team is relocated to the states in a start-up cricket league.
<br><br>Relocation is not necessary. So many foreigners own clubs in UK.<br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_football_club_owners#Premier_League<br><br>It is already happening in IPL like Rajasthan Royals. Lachlan Murdoch has a majority share in Rajasthan Royals while people just think that it is owned by Shilpa Shetty but in reality Shetty and her husband own just 11%. This Murdoch is same who owns Fox News and News Corporation and god knows what. I bet he has US passport.<br>
It was a joke. A reference to how Americans work... relocation.
The reason why Sutil lost the positions was he didn't pit during the safety car period and others who pitted like Alonso,Hamilton though they lost their positions at that time but they got fresh tyres.Those who pitted could overtake sutil due to the advantage of fresh tyres..Raikkonen lost his 2nd position and finished in 5th position as he also didn't pit.

India, which is already on the F1 calendar, could get the opportunity as early as 2015.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“The schedule for 2014 seems packed, but we would love to have a race in India from the second season,” said the Spanish-born businessman, who owns GP2 team Barwa Addax.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“I have not identified the locations as yet. I hope to visit India soon and explore venues. I am not too sure about Mumbai, but Delhi and Bangalore are on our radar. For a street circuit, the roads need to be pretty wide and has to meet requirement of a Grade 3 circuit,” said Agag.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">What about an Indian presence on the grid?</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“I have had positive chats with some of the Indians who are interested in owning a team. I can’t tell you more about them yet but there is a strong possibility of an Indian team soon. As for the drivers, Karun (Chandhok) and Narain (Karthikeyan) are the kind we would like to have in the championship.”</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Drivers from F1, GP2 and IndyCar are expected to form the teams’ line-up. Ten teams of two drivers each will be seen in the inaugural season. “The championship requires highly skilled drivers as street circuits are slippery and tyres have low grip,” said Agag.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">It is likely to be a single make series initially and the battery powered cars has been built by Spark Racing Technology (SRT) with technological support coming from the likes of McLaren, Williams and Renault. Italian firm Dallara will supply the chassis and Michelin tyres will be used.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“As of now, FIA has only certified SRT cars. But we would welcome the entry of more manufacturers and constructors in year two,” said the former politician.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">The machines may not produce the deafening sound of the F1 cars but is capable of escalating from 0 to 100 kph in less than three seconds, touching a maximum speed of 225 kph, importantly with zero emissions.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Though there is some time before the first race is flagged off, many see Formula E a potential match to F1 in popularity stakes. Agag, however, has a different take.</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“There is no competition with Formula 1. It is a much bigger series. In fact, I would like to call Formula E a child of F1. It has the best technology and we are happy to be using some of that.”</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">What does the championship aim to achieve?</p><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-size: 11px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“The cost of electric racing is low and the emissions are zero. With organising races in big cities of the world, people can know more about these machines and hopefully switch to electric cars to do their bit for the environment.”</p></div></div></div>

The Best and Most Famous corner in a F1 Track.
Eau Rouge of Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps which hosts the Grand Prix of Belgium.
Cars go through the turn without even lifting of the gas paddle with speeds reaching 306 KMPH.
With Pirelli tyres pace isn't the only thing which decide the race. Who has the faster car doesn't matter but who can mannage their tyres better does.
Thats why although Force India has a car which can get podium finish but their tyre manegmet isn't as good as other top teams.
