    Yeah, I know. I'm watching until Alonso crashes out.

    Scott Dixon's crash, though… :eek::eek::eek:

    Holy hell that was a crazy crash. Wrong place, wrong time.

    Amazing more than half the field are ferigners.

    Is it really that big of a deal overseas?

    I'd bet they are the ones with the sponsor money.

    No significant injuries. Amazing.

    Not to be disparaging but the French guys who have been populating the IndyCar series, for instance, are guys who failed to establish themselves on the F1 career path (not necessarily because of a lack of talent). I imagine it's the same for other nationalities.

    Replay shows Dixon's car landing hard upsidedown once. Zero collapse of the protection to the driver. Must be amazingly strong.

    I was thinking the same thing. That piece over their heads must be unbelievably reinforced. I would expect t is but with how hard he hit almost perfectly upside down it didn't move.

    Before the race there was a show about the safety teams and the car technology. It was pretty incredible to watch the science behind it all.

    Dixon seems unfazed. He might wanna see a replay of that flight.

    Probably best if he waits until after the season is over.

    I'm surprised his race suit, shoes and even his gloves are not full up with the poo. He was up there long enough to have time to think about it before the car came down.

    Scary as f@ck! Glad he is ok. Bet Alonso is happy with his decision to do Indy.

    McLaren was actually working pretty well in Monaco this weekend. That would have been his only good race of the season probably. Now he needs to win this to make it worth it.
     
  17. Are they planning on running it in reverse next year and they are getting a head start or something?
     
  18. I know, that was crazy. Wonder if Button peed in his seat?

    Meh Vandoorne ran good but Botton was shit and neither car finished. How long's it been since Alonso led a race? He's already made it worth it.
