Bernie has requested me to co-ordinate with the architects and the engineers to ensure the projects moves on smoothly,' he said.

Chandhok reiterated that Delhi has the necessary infrastructure around the track to host a Formula One Grand Prix.

'Delhi has developed hugely in the recent times in view of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. So, that should not be a problem at all. We've got great hotels, great roads. However, we need co-operation from the Customs and Excise department to facilitate quick entry and exit of racing equipment. We can definitely create a window to make it happen,' he said.

Reacting to union sports minister M.S. Gill's assertion that Formula One was not a sport but only an entertainment, Chandhok said: 'I would love to have the sports minister at one of our races so that he gets to know firsthand what it's all about. And if that still fails to convince him, then there is not much you can do.'
