Two-time world champion Sebastian Vettel received a lesson on how to drive in India when he travelled in the passenger seat of a sedan from New Delhi to the Taj Mahal. The 200-odd-km journey,he said,gave him a glimpse of the organised chaos on the tuk-tuk filled roads. While the traffic rules or the lack of them left him stumped,what surprised Vettel most was what his driver said. It was a really long drive. People were driving on the wrong side. It was as interesting as the Taj Mahal itself. I asked my driver if it was difficult to get a licence. He said,you pay money,you get licence, Vettel said,flashing a childish grin. With the title already in the bag,the 24-year-old from Germany had taken time off to visit Agra. I would not say you have no rules,but you have very less. But it works for you. We didnt see a single crash. its organised chaos, Vettel said. He added that the journey helped him understand the country better. People seemed very,very happy,even though the living standard is quite low compared to Europe. It makes you appreciate things you take for granted, he added. Vettel was not the lone guy on the grid who will go back with an interesting India tale. Williamss Rubens Barrichello,39,has been there and seen all,having participated in more Grand Prix 323 races than any other F1 driver in history. Nevertheless,the Brazilian is unlikely to forget Thursday,when gushing about Indias growing clout on the microphone,he lost his voice. The power had gone off. I hope it doesnt happen on the track tomorrow, he quipped at the official drivers press conference. Even the usually serious Michael Schumacher allowed himself a chuckle. The seven-time world champion,Schumacher said he would love to catch up with old friend Sachin Tendulkar this weekend. McLarens British driver Jenson Button has been feasting on food. Spent the last couple of days in New Delhi training,chilling and eating! and I must say the food is amazing, he tweeted. I love curry, the 2009 world champion told reporters. Nothing too spicy,I dont want too many pit stops. Red Bulls Mark Webber is better prepared for India,courtesy former Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh. Steve said,In India,driving is tougher than hitting sixes and fours, said the Australian driver.
