I believe the CEO of Sauber F1 is Indian too.

He's right. Check out this interview with Sauber F1's CEO Monisha Kaltenborn Narang: Sauber F1 Team | News | Interview with CEO Monisha Kaltenborn Narang

some more.
And yes, i am lazy, i couldnt be bothered to get up, or head down to get a different angle...

The mini was a surprise, outside.

Why so many people are there waving flags right by the track side?

Though they were there after the finish, is it safe? does it happen in all races?

Those are Marshalls , not normal fans as far as i can see. And yes it happens at all races. At many tracks, people jump onto the track as soon as the chequered flag is waved, although the track side announcements inform the fans to wait till the cars are safely in the pitlane. Just check this crazy video

Seriously what was that?! When did it happen? Looks like fans jumped on the track even before Schumacher reached the end to win the race. What could have happened if he hit someone? Retirement instead of win (and of course injury/death to the fan).

This was at Monza, not sure of the year though. The race was over and this was the slow down lap. It is usual for the fans to get onto the track during the slowdown lap but this was really an insane moment. I remember when I visited the Melbourne race, the trackside announcer had asked the people to wait for the cars to get into the pitlane but there were many people who ignored that advice.

Yeah that is one crazy video, but this one's even better

Forward to around 2:00 to see the real action.

Little known fact about the Indian F1 2011.

The first official recovery of the race weekend was not that of a race car. It was ... a Bolero 4X2!
It was chasing a stray dog around turns 10 & 11. Despite the frantic hand-waving and screaming of marshals from 2 posts, he drove into the gravel trap

. All this was a few minutes before the first session on Friday was to begin.

Some clicks from Saturday. Pardon the poor quality.

mayankk.. It seems you were also in Classic stand east near Gate 9.
