Can A Formula 1 Team Cost Only 120 Rupees ?

-

 From 2006-2008 Honda Racing was part of Formula 1 but due to a financial crisis and not wanting to invest a lot in F1 Honda had to sell the team but they couldn't find a buyer before the 2009 season and if they couldn't sell the team by the time the season started, it would cause them to lose millions of rupees,So Honda requested their team principal Ross Brawn to handle the team. So they decided to give it to him for free but they had to show a legal transaction on paper so Ross Brawn took a 1 pound or 120 rupees coin from his pocket and bought the team. The interesting part is Honda had developed double diffuser engine which in aerodynamic testing seemed to be 2 seconds faster than every other car but not much notice of this was taken as it was deemed a calculation error but when the car hit the track during testing they were faster than every other car. The team was renamed Brawn GP and along with Jenson Button it went on to win the drivers and constructors championship that year but due to losing all their money by the end of the season, Brawn GP sold the team to their engine supplier Mercedes Benz. Mercedes after buying the team went on to dominate the sport for the next decade with 8 constructors championships and 7 drivers championships.

My Experience In The South City Premier League This year I wanted to watch the IPL in stadium but I didn't get the oppurtunity to do so but I got to participate something just as competitive and fun, the South City Premier League. The SPL was so popular that it appeared on the newspaper. 20 matches,11 teams(8 of them men's and the other 3 women's )but everyone's got their eyes on the trophy. It's a ground where different cultures meet and people are put on the limelight of Southcity to showcase their cricket skills. The Auction Let's get to one of the coolest parts of The South City Premier League. Associations from South City had bought teams and were contesting in an IPL-like auction to bid for players in their teams. The Teams Were: Men's Teams Women's Teams Manipal Guardians Telugu Titans Gujurat Titans Maratha Challengers Majestic Mavericks Gandaberunda Utkala Warriors Jalikattu Juggernauts God's Own XI Royal Bengal Tigers Pink Panthers My dad w...

People Of Andaman

 People Of Andaman img:Andaman Tourist Tribe Andaman , is a heavenly paradise on earth, a perfect destination for avid travellers and one of India's places with most diversity. In this blog, I am going to explain to you about all the people of Andaman and their cultures. As I stayed in Andaman, I got to know lot about its cultural diversity. When I visited Neil Island, I found out that it was predominantly filled with descendants of  Hindu Bangladeshis, who had settled in Andaman during the Bangladesh partition. Due to their religious persecution, they seem to be people who worship a lot. I could see that each and every house had its own temple right next to it.  Coming from an urban area, I was surprised that Bangalore, despite being much larger, has only as many temples as Neil Island. When I asked around to find more information, I found out that most of the people in Neil Island were related to each other and the government had given each family 10 acres of land in Ne...

 Andaman(A Perfect Destination):Part 1:Havelock Day 1:Enter Paradise I woke up at 3:30 in the morning. I was ecstatic because I was leaving to the Andaman Islands. So ecstatic that I wasn't sad that my favourite cricket team ,Chennai Super Kings, had been destroyed in the match by my least favourite team,Royal Challengers Bangalore.I left for Chennai Airport from which we went to Veer Savarkar International Airport. I was very excited and didn't know how to control my hyperactiveness on the flight. So I teleported, in other words, I slept. I was in Port Blair,Andaman's capital within seconds. Guess teleportation is not years away then. We went to an Anthropological museum before going to Havelock. We learnt a lot about the tribes in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Then we caught our ferry from Haddo Jetty to Havelock Jetty. It was a 2 hour ride but every minute was to relish. We saw many flying fish and tried to capture them(with our camera not our hands) but they were too...
