Did you know that Pakistan has an ‘A1 Team Pakistan‘ for Grand Prix racing?

I did not, but now I do. Don’t know what to make of it yet, but there is a hoard of information and kool pictures and videos on the team’s promotional site. According to a news promo on the site, the A1 Team finished last season with "Qualified: 14th, Sprint Race: 12th, Feature Race: 5th." Don’t know how good or bad that is, but the website made it sound like a big deal; and I am happy to take their word for it.
The driver for the team is 20 years old Adam Khan, about whom the website tells us:
Adam Khan is making the most of his second home here in China. At Shanghai International Circuit to see Adam race for the first time is his ‘secondâà¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ mother and long time family friend Madam Zhang, daughter of the former Mayor of Beijing, who has given Adam the Chinese name ‘Li Sihan’. Fluent in Mandarin, Adam is obviously at home here and has spent time signing autographs and chatting to the local spectators.

Winnipeg Free Press October 27, 2011 | Anonymous Ford stock price drops DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford has generated big profits for so long that investors were bound to get spoiled.
The company reported its 10th straight quarterly profit Wednesday but its stock price fell six per cent, in large part because the carmaker decided to hold off on reinstating a dividend to stockholders. Investors were also irked by slowing growth and rising costs in the company’s third quarter.
Even though Ford earned $1.6 billion and beat expectations, investors wanted to see more the huge gains from 2010, said David Silver, an analyst with Wall Street Strategies. go to site ford stock price today
Not guilty: ex-Sachs exec NEW YORK — A former board member of Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal charges accusing him of acting as “the illegal eyes and ears in the boardroom” for a friend, a billionaire hedge fund founder sentenced this month to 11 years in prison in the biggest insider trading case in history.
The case, built partially on wiretaps used for the first time in insider trading, has offered unprecedented insight into greed at the highest levels of Wall Street. The arrest of Rajat Gupta took it one step higher.

Cool.
Such sports would become doubly interesting in the sub continent if we have Narayan Karthikeyan competing against somebody from Pakistan.
Not sure if it is the driver you mention, but a ‘Team India’ and a ‘Team Pakistan’ did compete in the Dubai Grand Prix last year… and although niether won, they were reportedly the main attraction, precisely because they were competing against each other.
