People like you are a joke who cannot differentiate between investment & handouts. Ask a poor vegetable seller if the money he's carrying can be invested in feeding his family or for buying vegetables for next day sales. Formula 1 is huge tourism, engineering & advertisement business, some of which spills over to the economy benefitting all those poor too whom you cite. If you use this money to feed them, it would be a one-time meal.

manoj, i somewhat agree with you on this, but.... isn't it our duty to ensure that the poor reaches to "basic needs level" before we, so called new age consumers move one level up in all the areas - from shopping malls to F1 thrills. Getting the priorities right is the real issue and not the investment advantage of F1. History has proved time n again - whichever country has invested in the future has grown manifolds. Is F1 an option of growth, a priority- imagine 600 mn investment in infrastructure, education and health of the needy people - I am sure an improved socity will earn beter than "one time" meal from F1 advantage. anand
