You don't notice the breaks so much when they keep the world feed going.
When I was in America in October I tried to watch a movie on TV. The amount of ads was crazy.

I feel so out of place, nothing to do, really missing Indy. Rarely miss it live. So lucky to live 300km from this track, this Coliseum, of racing.

My meditation into the parallel non-Covid19-universe revealed that Graham Rahal won the Indy 500 today under yellow. He was going to have to stop for a splash-and go near the end, but a late crash forced the race to finish under yellow. Windfall for Rahal, who crossed the line ahead of Scott Dixon, who DID have enough fuel to the end.
Oh well. Let's see what happens in OUR universe in August!

So what was the weather like at the track yesterday? Would they have found a winduh to get the race in?

Felix posted this on Twitter yesterday:
"Me and @Ericsson_Marcus rode down on our bikes to @IMS today for a few laps then back! Beautiful day, would have made a perfect race day with almost no wind and 80 degrees... Instead we celebrate

One.
One mistake.
Why some people can't seem to get over other's occasional mishaps and show some generosity of spirit . . .
(Checks notes)
Oh.
Never mind.

Other drivers have made similar mistakes. Don't even get me started on RHR. Jp's disdain for Sato is well-known, and he's entitled to it for personal reasons. It does get annoying frequently, though

That, and his perplexing paroxysm from zero to hero to zero to hero to zero to hero (to be continued...) makes him one of the most fascinating and lovable characters in racing and all of sports - ever.

Occasionally his choice of whom and where to attack is suspect . . .

If nothing else, he is a great personality in Indycar.

By the way, it is very generous of you to admit that you and Sato have much in common.

Allow me to point out that the correct usage is "Sato and you". One should always mention Sato first in a sentence, unless the intention is to end the sentence with !!!!1!1!1!!1oneone or such similar form of worship.

In Sato’s defense, no one else has a motto as memorable as No Attack, No Chance.

There is a high probability of bad weather during the launch window. I’m expecting it to be postponed until Saturday.

That's not even Sato's only pitlane incident involving an appearance of RHR's livery.

Vicious brake check from RHR there... he should have been black flagged for that.

I love watching Taku race, almost as much as I enjoy his interviews. Sometimes I think his motto should be " All Attack, No Think!", however.
