The inaugural Indian Grand Prix gets underway this weekend and F1 legend Michael Schumacher said he is looking forward to meet India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar.

The seven times F1 champion will be driving for the German team Mercedes GP in the upcoming race.

“I am looking forward to see Sachin Tendulkar. We have met each other couple of times. It would be nice to see him during the race.


Tendulkar and Schumacher had earlier meet during the 2002 British Grand Prix at the Silverstone track in England.
