St. Petersburg certainly knows who Vitaly Petrov is, after it selected him as the winner of the sports category at its sixth 'Top 50 most important people in St.Petersburg' awards ceremony.
On 5th June, more than a thousand famous faces from the Northern Russian capital descended on the St. Petersburg theatre for a celebration of renowned sport stars, actors, television presenters and businessmen. In the sport category, Vitaly claimed the prize ahead of stiff competition in the name of tennis player Svetlana Kuznetsova and football star Aleksander Kerzhakov.
Unable to attend the ceremony, Vitaly spoke through a video message from the LRGP factory in England. His manager, Oksana Kossatchenko received the award on his behalf.
"This is another good win for Vitaly! We would like to thank all the people who voted for him, and who have helped him over the past ten years", said Kossatchenko.
"We promise to give all of Vitaly's fans the real victories on the racetracks as soon as possible. St. Petersburg is a beautiful and modern city, and I'm sure that sooner rather later we will see Formula One races nearby the Neva river".
