the pit stop for ferrari was interesting, when it happened, no one was sure whose mistake it was, then after a few replays, it was clear that Massa moved because he got the go ahead a few seconds early! It was a pity that he moved from 1st to last because of that goof up..
The moment will arrive when you are comfortable with who you are, and what you are--when you don't feel the need to apologize for anything or to deny anything. To be comfortable in your own skin is the beginning of strength.

just curious, no real offence to anybody who took the pains of posting - any explanation for the huge interest in English soccer and Formula 1 in metro cities despite the fact we are nowhere near to participantion in either sport at international level?
NOM at all, so please spare me the stones

I would say there is some sort of adventure/thrill/risk and edge of the seat view associated with Formula1. Naturally it will attract people. & apart from legends Prost & Senna, Michael Schumacher is one of the primary reasons for reach of Car racing due to his style of driving and related incidents. I think Michael has a wide folowing in India, primary example is our own legend Sachin.
You are right about our lack of participation. Karun/Narain are also into that. Now, We have our Force India Team also owned by Vijay Mallaya. Though the team is struggling, given Mallayas's push, our team may do better. Fisichella, an experienced driver is part of our team.
In Tamil Nadu, we had actor Ajith(Thala), who is a fullfledged race driver, who also ventured into racing and reached respectable position. However, due to lack of sponsors, he could not pursue further. It takes lot of money to pursue this career.
The exposure of Television could be one more reason. There could be more but i have mentioned what i felt. May be with the difficulty associated with driving in our roads, we should have had some world champions in this sport.
Regarding Soccer, there are lot of devoted followers of the game in this thread who will be better placed to answer that. In my opinion, Maradona (since i am his fan ) could be one of the reasons for reach of this sport apart from many greats like pele.

"Even as Massa crossed the line, Hamilton was only sixth and the Brazilian was the champion. But as Vettel and Hamilton slammed out of the final corner, Glock’s Toyota was slowing in front of them, the German struggling for grip on his increasingly unsuitable rubber. From the jaws of defeat, the British driver snatched back the crown in one of the most dramatic title deciders in history. No Hollywood script could have been more exciting."- formula1.com
A stunning final race. After Massa crossed the line and lewis being behind vettel, Ferrari crew were celebrating and in the final moments, lewis won the position and the championship.

Lewis hamilton is a talented driver. He is fired up in deed. Kimi, Lewis, Massa, Alonso, and possibly Kubica will compete in future seasons. Lot of possible world champions there.
and btw Kimi had a poor year by his standards. I suppose he should go easy on his lifestyle, and other "distractions".
