he's actualy a really nice bloke for example

He had this to say about Trulli's

"After the pitstop, I was catching Bruno, but there was no point trying to pass him. Then Jarno tried something silly really. I don't think he would even have enough steering lock to get around the corner from the angle he was coming at - and he would have done the old 2006 parking move! He has apologised.

"He is not an idiot, I quite like him and he is a nice guy. I think when he apologises he know he has screwed up."

But what really suprised me is the fact he didn't go mental at Rubens

"It got lodged underneath the car, so I could feel it scraping all the way through Mirabeau. Then the noise stopped and one of the marshals reported back that it fell out of my car in the tunnel. But then Bruno ran over it – so that steering wheel has been well and truly Hispania'd!"

Top Bloke.

Yeah, without a doubt. A lot of people in the paddock have said the same thing, he's a truly top guy.

That looked bloody frightening when Trulli's car went across his cockpit, I thought the worst when he was holding his head . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCy4b0Jb_c0

Yup that was scary. Specially cause there were parts of Trulli's car flying around, so some parts could have gotten to him. Luckily he was safe.

Its pretty frustrating/embarrassing to see how hard the back-end teams are struggling........ if getting a pit stop right is an achievement, the race must be an even harder feat.

Actually, i just looked at the results, turns out none of the new teams had cars running at the end.

Wow, actually that REALLY sucks :\

So far, I like him and I feel like, with a better car, he would do very well. Off of the track, he seems calm and intelligent.

his twitter feed is quite good as well. It shows he is living the dream

I quite like him aswell and he seems to have a level head and is always smiling,
living the dream as Jab put it.

Just hopefully HRT stay in the sport long enough for him to be given another chance in a car thats worth driving, and not to fall off the radar.

It seems that Vijay Mallya doesn't rate Chandhok at all; given his comments on the Formula1 website.

Q: How important will it be for you to have an Indian driver at some point in the future?
Vijay Mallya: It is very important. I would love it. I’m not a fool and can see the enormous publicity potential which would come from it. The downside at the moment is that there is not one Indian pilot who has the potential to battle the best on the track.

I don't know how he can be #1 because he's Indian and zero is their favorite number :hehe:

Well Vijay is right to say as such. His results before F1 far from earned him a place in F1. In 3 years of Gp2 he finished 15th, 10th and 18th. As I said before, you can't judge a driver based on what they do in car like a HRT. If you can him a top car for Istanbul you'd see a much different driver.

It's nice to see Vijay Mallya has a racing head on to. Not thinking about exposure for the team, but instead thinking of drivers who can win given the car. Great to see Force India giving Di Reista a proper go at driving the car to, rather than being a Test Driver who pointlessly observes a race weekend.
