Sachin Tendulkar's passion for motorsports is hardly a secret and since the Indian batting maestro's current injury break from cricket coincides with the French Grand Prix, he was seen at Magny-Cours cheering Force India during the race on Sunday.Tendulkar, who is on a family holiday in London after being ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a groin injury, was seen cheering Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil, who started at the back of the grid. A day before, the Mumbaikar met Karun Chandhok, who is participating in the GP2 series at the Magny-Cours. "Sachin met me here. It was a pleasant experience to meet a cricket star like him. I am a huge fan of his," Chandhok said in Magny-Cours. "He likes motorsports and understands the sport pretty well. Basically he is here to cheer for Force India," he added. Chandhok revealed that Tendulkar sought information on the Magny-Cours track and the weather conditions. "Only a driver can ask the kind of insightful questions he asked me. I think he loves motorsports as much as cricket," he said. Tendulkar owns a Ferrari, gifted to him by multiple-time world champion Michael Schumacher after the 2002 British Grand Prix. Tendulkar is scheduled to play for the Lashings World XI from June 24 as part of his build-up for the tour of Sri Lanka. in-depth coverage > Sachin Tendulkar > |
