German racer Sebastian Vettel, who can't get over how beautiful Indian women are, says that though he's thrilled about being the winner of the first Indian Grand Prix event, the victory was a bittersweet one for him. Sebastian Vettel is already looking forward to next year's race after being thoroughly impressed with his experience at the Buddh international circuit last weekend. The 24-year-old German racer's victory at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit has taken his tally of the season to 11 wins.

Vettel had a memorable weekend during the Indian GP event and he says, "This was my first time in India and I hope to come back again. It has been a memorable weekend for me. I was lucky to visit the Taj Mahal and was impressed by the historic monumental structure. Besides I have also learnt a few Hindi phrases like dhanyawaad, and aapki aankhein bahut khoobsurat hai. I have to say, Indian women are very beautiful and they have beautiful eyes."

The victorious racer admits, "I think we've done an exceptional job so far, the whole season went by without any problems. But to be honest. I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, it was the first Grand Prix in India and I am very proud to be the first winner. There were a lot of people, it was a big event and the atmosphere was great. I am very, very happy. But on the other hand, we also have to pay some respect to those two guys who lost their lives. Our thoughts are with them, especially with their families.

We should never forget those two young, very committed race drivers - Marco Simoncelli and Dan Wheldon. Yes, we are ready to take certain risks when we jump into the car though we obviously pray every time, that nothing happens, but sometimes you get reminded and it is the last thing that we want to see. So, as I said, it is mixed emotions and our thoughts are with them at this moment."

So was he expecting to win the Indian GP? "Well, it's difficult to say. To be honest I didn't expect anything really. I had heard a lot of good things, I had heard a lot of bad things. Instead, I preferred to come here myself and take a look. So I took a little bit of time to have a look outside the circuit. Basically what I saw was very inspiring, it's very different. I think you will find the same if you go there. Sometimes it's difficult to imagine for us, which is why I think you really have to come here. But it's a country that I think is very interesting to travel around, because I think there are a lot of things you can learn. Some things you have to get used to because they are so different. It's not a drama, it's a different culture, the people are different but as I said, they are very helpful, very friendly and happy, so that's a good thing."

That's not all, he has a whole lot of appreciation for the Indian circuit. Vettel shared, "It is great, I think, what the people in India did here in a short amount of time. We heard about it a couple of years ago but to put up this arena is incredible. Surely there are little bits here and there that are not 100% finished but now the people know so they will fix that for next year. I am quite sure. It was a fantastic race. I am very proud, as I said, to be the first winner here in India.

I think India is an impressive country, very different from what we probably know in Europe, but very inspiring. If you keep you eyes and ears open, I think you can learn a lot, the way the people handle things here. It is a big country, a lot of people, sometimes it looks very different but they get along and they are very happy here. They enjoy life and in the end that's what it is all about. If your life comes to an end, there is more. It is the thoughts, the emotions, the friends, and the friendships you take with you rather than whatever you have in your bank account. Even the people have so little here I think in a way they are much richer than a lot of people back in Europe so there is a lot we can learn and it is a great race, great event. The circuit is fantastic so thanks a lot to India and all the people here. The Indian Grand Prix lived up to its hype. Here is looking forward to the next edition. Maybe next year we'll get to see an Indian racer on the podium."
