Hamilton in Mumbai

Hamilton, fresh off victories in two consecutive races at Germany and England, was in the city for a promotional event organised by telecom giant Vodafone, and visited a Haroke go-karting track in suburban Powai.

The ace driver, who is leading the drivers’ standings presently, also drove seven laps in kart around a truncated track to the joy of hundreds of fans, mostly teenagers, and flagged off a race as well. “This is my first time in India and I don’t know when I would have found the time to come here,” Hamilton said.

The British driver said he rated his victory at his home circuit of Silverstone, in which he started fourth on the starting grid but made the most of wet weather to win the race, as “one of the best victories so far”.

“It was special for winning at home,” he said.
