If Lewis gets his car fixed it should make for a very interesting race tomorrow.
Well, that sucked for Kimi, but I have to believe that his post race demeanor would have been the same no matter what.
That was a boring procession, not a race.
It was rather, It looks wonderful but it relies on accidents and bad weather to provide the real excitement.
Probably the best was Senna v Mansell in 1992 but even that is famous for the absence of an overtaking move.
Anyhow, I watched the Indy 500 and was glad to see Alonso do well, It wouldn’t have surprised if he’d won and I wasn’t surprised in the least to see him in the hunt in his first race. He’ll be back I suspect.
Honda was able to do both in the same race.
Yes, yes it was. Glad Wehrlein is OK though, that was scary seeing his car tipped on the side like that.
I hope Alonso does come back to Indy. He talked after the race like he wanted to give it another shot.
I missed the post race stuff. What did he have to say?
I guess he’s “Take-you-out-for-a-Milk-cause-I’m-Indy-500-Champ” Sato now huh?
Really boring. Except for the start I don’t think there was a single overtake. Just Kimi getting screwed with the tactics and Verstappen being sacrificed so Ricciardo could get the jump on Bottas.

The announcers (in the U.S. anyway) seemed to miss it, but Magnussen gained two positions on the start. He had to make two pit stops (I assume he had a puncture) and still finished 10th. Might have been an even better day for Haas without that flat tire.
The NBC crew did say quite a lot about the tires; took more than one lap to bring them up to temperature, and that the ultra-soft tires could have lasted the whole race if the regulations didn’t require a pit stop. I wonder if that’s a consequence of the wider tires this year. Last year’s tires were narrower, so they’d have a smaller contact patch with the track surface. This year’s cars aren’t any heavier that I know of. Seems like the new tires would be generating similar forces to last year’s, but spread over a larger area. Does that account for less wear, less heating, etc., and were the FIA and Pirelli expecting this?
“It doesn’t feel awful good,” Raikkonen said, morosely. “It didn’t work out for me, that’s about as much as I can say right now. I got the bad end of the story. It’s still second place but it doesn’t count a lot in my books at least.”
But to get the full effect, you need to read his words in the bubbly, enthusiastic, and upbeat manner that characterizes all of Kimi’s remarks 
He had a good reason to be pissed off. But pissed off or happy, he sounds about the same to me.
But his radio transmissions are fucking Gold!
Fernando Alonso not ruling out running a full season in IndyCar:
I’d love to see him do it. At least he’d be competitive… unless his engine blows up.
Patrick Stewart just drank out of Riccardos shoe. I might have to throw up.
My understanding is that Alonso has a particular ambition. He wants to follow in the tyre tracks of Graham Hill.
Hill is the only driver (to date) to have won an F1 world championship, the Indy 500 and the Le Mans 24 Hours. (That is next weekend this year).
I doubt whether Alonso wants to copy Hill in dying in his own light plane less than a year after retiring as a race driver.
Yeah, that’s just nasty!
I thought that race sucked. Why does Kimi have such shit luck? And that damn kid taking off Seb’s front wing. Phooey!
I think Patrick Stewart was already drunk before getting on the podium.
So?
I was glad to see Canadian Stroll finish and get points. The kid’s only 18.
I found it amusing.
Dammit, my DVR cut off right after Hamilton started whining about wanting Bottas to slow down. I know who was on the podium (raise your hand if you saw that coming… didn’t think so!), but did anything else exciting happen after that point?
