Indian Grand Prix, a motor race scheduled in the calendar of FIA Formula One Championship, is going to start from October 27, 2012 at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida. Drivers of Force India, Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg, are all set to deliver their full potential in the entire event, which will remain operative from October 26 to 28. Last year, Paul di Resta finished at 13th place, while Nico Hulkenberg did not raced as he was a reserve driver of the team.
Force India is owned by Vijay Mallya, the person who has been in the news from quite some time because of some unfavourable issues at Kingfisher Airlines (KFA). There had been a war between Mallya and exhausted workers of KFA, which was earlier expected to pick up the pace at the racing event. The allegation put by KFA employees state that the company has not paid their pending salaries and thus, rumours says that, they are planning to gather at Indian Grand Prix to protest against Mallya.
However, everything has been settled down as the issue has been resolved a day before the event as the company’s management has agreed to pay the four months remuneration dues by December to the workers. Following the announcement, the striking workers have decided to restart the work with immediate effect.
Confirming the statement, the Chief Executive Officer of KFA, Sanjay Aggarwal said, “All our employees will resume work today, including the pilots and engineers. We will now on continue to work together.”
Confirming the above statement, Subhash Chandra Mishra, the Engineers' representative quoted, “We are joining duty from today. We have accepted the management's proposal for a staggered payment of four months salary dues by December.”
Coming back to the racing event, two practice sessions will be conducted on first day of race between 10:00 am to 11:30 am and 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. The second day, October 27, will be followed with a third practice session timed at 11:00 to 12:30 pm and then the qualifying session at 2:00 pm. On the last day, October 28, final race will be flagged at 3:00 pm, which will then conclude the event.
