Hispania Racing Team’s Daniel Ricciardo has recently driven a Red Bull showcar as a part of the build-up for the inaugural Indian Grand Prix which is expected to take place on the 30th of October this year.
With 2 Indian drivers expected to be on the grid for the race, it is believed that the Indian Grand Prix is going to be one of the biggest events of the Formula 1 calendar this year.Earlier on, Lewis Hamilton also drove his championship winning 2008 McLaren car the MP4-23 in front of approximately 40,000 Indian fans.
Nevertheless, Ricciardo claims that his experience was truly exhilarating keeping in mind that he might be replaced by Narain Karthikeyan for the Indian Grand Prix and might not be a part of the first ever Indian Grand Prix.
“It was a proud moment for me to be the first F1 driver to race down the Rajpath. Today's drive was truly exhilarating especially with the legions of cheering fans who lined up the road. I've never seen anything like this before but I'm sure that Red Bull has set millions of pulses racing as India waits for the lights to turn green at the grand prix later this month,” he said.
