His love for speed is no secret and India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni [ Images ] on Sunday hinted that he might witness India's first Formula One Grand Prix [ Images ] on Sunday.

"I always wanted to see a Formula One race. Let's hope for the best," Dhoni said.

"It's a big event and of course it's happening for the first time in India. I am looking forward to it. I am a speed freak myself in the sense that I love bikes. The only race that I witnessed was a superbike race in South Africa [ Images ]," he said.

Dhoni said he would be cheering for Force India [ Images ] and at the same time he would also have an eye on Indian driver Narain Karthikeyan [ Images ], who will represent Hispania Racing Team.

"I want Force India to do really well. Second preference would be Narain Karthikeyan," Dhoni said.
