We reveal who really is ‘The Fastest Indian in the World’

We reveal who really is ‘The Fastest Indian in the World’

A war of words has broken out between ex-Jordan pay-driver, Narain Karthikeyan, and HRT’s new signing Karun Chandhok, as to which of the two can officially lay claim to the title of ‘The Fastest Indian in the World’.

Karthikeyan’s website… still says he is ‘TFIITW’ even though he does not seem to be driving anything this year, while Chandhok’s camp say he is the fastest moving thing to come out of the sub-continent since a British backpacker once ate an under done Chicken Vindaloo in 1989.

However, both look set to be beaten to the title by Wolverhampton resident, Badri Jeewanjee, 20, who operates a one man delivery service covering the West Midlands using a souped up old UPS van.

Badri said today, “I is the fastest Indian in the world innit, those other two geezers, one ain’t got no car and the other drive something called an HRT, me, I can get from Dudley to Solihull in 20 minutes – blinging!”

Rumours that USF1 are already talking to Jeewanjee about a seat for their planned debut in 2011 are believed to be close to the mark.

Stefan GP prove they are ready for F1 - with a piece of paper.

Stefan GP prove they are ready for F1 - with a piece of paper.

In scenes reminiscent of when Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from Germany in 1938, waving a piece of paper proclaiming all was well, the Stefan GP team have now had their own Chamberlain moment.

In a statement on their website, Stefan… confirm that they have indeed sent some boxes to Bahrain and one of them might even have a car in it. They back this up by showing a receipt from DHL. If ever there was final proof that (A) They should be on the grid or (B) They are just plain mental, then this must be it.

The statement continues, (in the friendly manner we have become used to from Stefan); “If case we don’t receive the chance to compete in Bahrain, and also when some of the teams fail to show up, somebody should be in a trouble explaining what is happen to all of us (sic)”

They add: And dreamers from USA will have to explain their actions, because they are deliberately weakening F1 with dreaming of perfect world and fairytales about success. And success doesn’t come by talking but with hard work and a lot of guts.

You have been warned, oh yes, you have been warned.

Toyotal Recall

Toyotal Recall

Stefan GP’s plans to nick Campos’ place on the Bahrain grid have been dealt a blow as Toyota have recalled their cars due to a technical glitch.

Toyota engineers have discovered that despite building dozens of F1 machines that contested 140 races… over 8 years at a total cost of a gazillion dollars, that the cars never actually won anything.

The vehicles have been sent back to the factory and in the meantime Stefan have been lent a couple of Yaris courtesy cars.

Hands up time – the Toyotal Recall headline was pinched from @sniffpetrol

The Return of Ralf

The Return of Ralf

There was unbridled joy in the Valencia paddock yesterday and amongst F1 journalists and autograph hunting fans worldwide, when the news broke that Ralf Schumacher is on the verge of returning to the grid.

Stefan GP, who seem to have done… everything else sensibly so far, seem to have had some sort of odd moment in thinking that Kazuki Nakajima and Ralf Schumacher would make a good driver pairing.

At these stage this is all just rumour but Ralf is apparently keen on a return to F1 from the DTM graveyard, having seen how well brother Michael’s comeback is going.

Just goes to show you can’t keep a good man down – or a bad one for that matter.

Dead call halt to GP?

Dead call halt to GP?

Construction plans for the mooted 2011 Indian Grand Prix at a site near Delhi, are on hold following the discovery that a cemetery lies where the planned pitlane and paddock will be.

According to Indian law, the stiff’s can only be… moved if the local villagers agree and as none of them are too fussed about having F1 cars blast past their houses, they are refusing to concede.

However organisers think they have found a way to keep all sides happy, by employing the dead to work on race weekends. Local witch-doctor Bhani Shamaputra aims to raise the dead and have them working on burger stalls and merchandise stands.

Said Bhani, “Everybody wins, the race can go ahead and the dead will get something to do plus all the extra staff will mean queuing to be served will be a thing of the past.”
