In India, Formula 1 racing has gained significant popularity, especially with the establishment of the Indian Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. While the sport itself is international, local Indian products and brands have started to engage with F1 through sponsorships and partnerships. For instance, Indian companies like Tata Group, which produces the Tata Nano car, and Mahindra & Mahindra, known for their SUVs and electric vehicles, have shown interest in motorsports. Additionally, Indian brands such as Kingfisher (a beer company) and Airtel (a telecommunications provider) have been involved in F1 sponsorships, promoting local products on a global stage. The number of cars racing in F1 is typically 20, divided into 10 teams with 2 cars each, but this can vary based on regulations. Indian fans often support these teams while enjoying local snacks like samosas or sipping on chai, blending international excitement with homegrown flavors. |
