Looking Ahead: India

The Buddh International Circuit


First raced in 2011 the Indian GP is one of the newest additions to the Formula 1 calendar. Located just outside New Dehli the 5.1km Buddh International Circuit was designed by Herman Tilke and all 3 races held at this track have been won by Sebastian Vettel driving for Red Bull Racing. The track itself contains a large number of high speed corners so downforce is a definite factor for any car that wishes to do well here. This would be a reason why Sebastian Vettel has not only won every race held at this track but has also led every lap.

Vettel was reprimanded for the celebration and Red Bull received a fine of €25,000.

For 2014 the Race has been temporarily removed from the calendar due to the fact that it was given a provisional slot in the Spring rather than it's traditional October date. The organisers of the race could not hold a race so soon after the 2013 event due to financial issues so the race was removed with the hope that it will return for 2015.
