Really a close call. Thankfully all three drivers are okay. What a massive crash

Oh and Alesi pulled in only a few laps because his car is so slow. Said the Indy 500 was a childchood dream... really living the dream today...

It doesn't matter so much in the race, but now they were just waiting the rain to start. They should have listened McLaren's team radio.
Indycar thread dude :p
Sorry :blush: I have two threads open and the Indycar stream open while I'm also translating Heikki Kulta's blog to yet an other thread :lol: I got confused :blush:

Have only been half paying attention having missed first 60 laps. Last stint is when oval races get interesting for me!

Late yellow means everybody's good on fuel, should be a thrilling sprint to the finish!

Too thrilling for Andretti, apparently. :(

Should be a super short sprint to the finish then! Not too many laps left.

Don't think I've ever laughed and simultaneously felt disappointed as a driver crashed out.

If he didn't win he was going to do that.
