Saturday 10 May at 14:05 : We already noticed last season that Dr. Vijay Mallya knows how to host a party. Yesterday evening, the Indian once again gave a big bash at his super yacht in the middle of the Bosphorus. Of course all the big guns of F1 were present.

Formula One Management CEO Bernie Ecclestone, Renault team principal Flavio Briatore, BMW Sauber’s Dr Mario Theissen, Ferrari’s Stefano Domenicali, Red Bull Racing’s Christian Horner, Williams’ Adam Parr and, of course, Force India’s Dr Colin Kolles were all present at the party.

Although Mallya had flown in a DJ from India, Renault test driver Sakon Yamamoto was the one who wowed the crowd with his DJ talent. Fireworks concluded the spectacular party.

Bernie Ecclestone said after the party: “A fantastic evening! Last year I said that we should have these kind of events more frequently and thanks to Vijay we do. I have already heard the rumours that Monaco will see a sequel of tonight.”
