Sachin Tendulkar meets dear friend Schumacher ahead of Indian GP
A self-confessed Formula One fan, Sachin Tendulkar on Sunday met seven-time world champion and 'dear friend' Michael Schumacher at the Mercedes team building ahead of this afternoon's inaugural Indian Grand Prix here.
Tendulkar, who is expected to flag off India's maiden F1 race, arrived at the newly-constructed Buddh International Circuit with his wife Anjali and daughter Sara. However, his son Arjun was conspicuous by his absence.
The star Indian cricketer was received at the circuit by promoters of the race, Jaypee Sports International's Managing Director Sameer Gaur.
Soon after arriving at the circuit, Tendulkar met F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone at the lounge area and had a nearly half-an-hour interaction with him. The duo was later joined by legendary racing driver Jackie Stewart and Bollywood actor Gulshan Grover.
Tendulkar also obliged the waiting photographers along with Ecclestone, Gaur and Grover but refused to make any comments, saying, "I will talk to everyone later."
