The Indian Grand Prix, which made its debut on October 2011 in the Formula One calendar could well face the axe, as it faces the chances of being dropped from the 2014 Formula One calendar. It has been stated that due to political reasons, the Indian Grand Prix might have to be scrapped.

"Is India going to happen next year? Probably not," said the F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone during the Hungarian Grand Prix, reported NDTV. It is quite alarming that the formula one event in India at Buddh International Circuit, which was considered to be a great success, is facing such a situation. The track had been ranked amongst one of the best in F1 circuits.

 It is not the circuit that has come into question, but various other things such as taxes on cars and the machines that have been brought in for the race, which might lead to the death of the Indian Grand Prix. If the Indian Grand Prix is pulled out of the prestigious F1 calendar, it might be Russia, who will benefit from the entire situation by bagging a place in the F1 calendar.

The previous two races that took place in India has been won by Sebastian Vettel. So, if any driver will miss the India Grand Prix more, it is going to be Vettel, who enjoys a cent percent record in Buddh International Circuit.

If the 2013 race is going to be the last one in India, expect a huge crowd to turn up for the race, which has been scheduled for October 27, as the 16^th race of the season as well. If a huge crowd gathers for the event, will it help Bernie Ecclestone change his mind. Probably not, as it is due to off-field problems that the F1 boss might have been led to take this situation.
