India will be starting last on the grid.

yup India starting from last ....

I was quite surprised when they named armaan for both the races ...In my opinion they should have given him more testing and sent him out racing half way through the season !..

Brazil are on Pole
Swiss car 2nd
France 3Rd

Pakistan is at the back aswell 22nd

I saw him in the first qualifying session,and for his age he didn't show any fear at all,he was pushing hard as possible using all the road hitting the apex,I think he is the real F1talent,I hope he will be looked after,and please keep him out of the limelight,or he will turn up like Sania mirza.

Wow cool. India for the first time beat Pakistan. That is so cool. Keep it up Armaan. Good job. ACtually fantastic job.

I told you guys that someday India would beat Pakistan. Now they have done it.

its a good rive by armaan in the sense he didnt do any mistakes !!
but still he was slow. The chinese and pakistan car actually over took him around 10 laps to finsh.. But the chinese car spun out and not too sure how he got infront of the pakistans car.

Still its his first race in a 550hp car...And he did excellent when compared to the experience he has !

"8 laps to go Armaan made a blinding move on pakistan, then followed it by whizzing past china"

So he did overtake Adam Khan !

Considering his first race in A1 GP, Armaan's performance was creditable ... Good performance from Team India ... They managed to finish race ... With these inputs we can expect only better performance from them in future.

yes considering his inexperienced he did a good job.
managed to keep out of all the troubles on the track.he would have maybe got some points too if he hadnt had that start problem and also the pit-stop problem..
and best of all we managed to overtake pakistan

in next race.

@kallu
I dont think Armaan was slow,if u see the results from a1gp,u can see that his Fastest lap was 1.33.989,when compared to Team GB(Roobie kerr) he is just 0.179 slower,and as far as pakistan is concerned Adam khan's fastest lap was 1.35308.I think Armaan has done a commendable job.Keep it up Armaan,hope they give u a chance for the next race as well.

hmmm now that you pointed it out, he seems to have done quite well during the second half !!

Wow that is so cool. India actually overtoke not only Pakistan but also China. I hope they keep up the good work.

Not just that he has 17th fastest lap.. He also consistently 1.34s for the last 10 or more laps.

Man Armaan is great. Did he win both sprint and featured race?

His featured race was brilliant no doubt.
Man he beat CHina too. Wow!! All our neighbours beaten. Take that CHinese and Pakistanis.

Woo hoo.

Now maintain this and if few races we will surely get point and maybe at one time overtake Pakistan and CHinese.
