All Formula One fans in Chennai were treated to some towering speed battle, thanks to McLaren Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton’s stay to the city on Friday, September 17.
Although Chennai is the home to the two Indian drivers who have so far made it to F1 - Narain Karthikeyan and Karun Chandok, seeing the youngest F1 World Champion in action was a special knowledge for all those who had gathered at the Madras Motor Race Track in IrungattuKottai. The Briton was given a superstar welcome by the Chennai crowd as he arrived in a dicer and waved at them.
Hamilton was in Chennai for a promotional occasion in which a few lucky winners went on a 2-lap drive with him in the two-seater Mercedes SLK. Though there were some preliminary hiccups while Hamilton started driving, his amazing techniques, including a 360 degree wheel spin, made his fans in Chennai go wild.
