Lundgaard is knackered. Or a vampire.

Power on the podium! This is happening. Will Power 2022 is a championship I didn't know I needed.

Tell them to stop having sooooooo many races in July - it's nearly impossible to watch em all.

Every winner's trophy should take two grown men to haul to the podium.

Happy for Rossi. Has to be a boost to Team Andretti as well RLR with Lundgaard’s excellent podium.

 

This mature Will Power is going to be tough to beat for the championship.

 

I hope Pato comes back strong for the next race. He sure got screwed in this one.

Pato was on the same strategy as Power. The second yellow saved their bacon. I just don't think the pace was there for much more.

I’m stoked like Rossi. It’s a cool feeling. I had to go way off my usual script. I’m sure its the covid.

It was Conor. About DeFrancesco.

Wasn't able to catch the race this morning unfortunately as away, but hiow to catch the highlights later in the week.

Well done to Rossi on his win - poor ol' Colton gets hit again with the cartoon anvil. Power once again on the podium - must be favourite for the title now. Good recovery as well for McLaughlin from a poor qualifying 👍

Interesting observation from the Indy pits. Penske uses carbon fiber to make the small pit marker poles, lollypop handle/pole and even the umbrella went into a carbon fibre holder. Other teams - metal.

Penske fire extinguishers are reflective metallic like chrome.

Also, Will Power 1:18 model cars were sold out.

Rumor has it that at Penske, they care about details.

I stuck it out and it came on finally after the Notebook.

A good race, for luundgard and Power too. Gutted for Herta, he hit the kerb hard but you don’t expect that. Lovely touch that he was one of the first in there to congratuate Rossi. Bryan getting stuck on the lift at the end too!

Hard to believe it’s July and we are into the closing part of the season already though.

Yeah, Sky really screwed things up for me. Earlier in the week when I was setting up the race to record, the TV schedule on the Sky Planner said that coverage on Sky F1 was from 18:30 to 20:00 which didn't seem long enough as they always have at least 30 minutes build up. I checked again yesterday morning and the recording I had set up for that time was now set to record something different (Hungary qualifying repeat I think) so I deleted the set recording and set it up again for the new time mentioned on the planner (21:00 I think). About 20:30 last night I happened to look on the Autosport main page which mentioned that Rossi had won a race that shouldn't even have started yet.

Just catching up with the highlights.

 

I don't like that they did the whole waiting for everyone to pit before bringing out the caution for Pagenaud. Safety calls shouldn't wait until everyone's had their turn in the pits.

 

Pato did well to recover after getting caught up in the first corner spin.

 

I think despite Devlin being a bit of menace earlier this year, he had the corner in the Daly incident. Daly's a hothead anyway.

 

Power is doing great this season. He just needs to keep this consistency up.

 

Also nice to see Lundgaard get a good result. Rahal Racing really hasn't been the place to be this year.

 

Oh and great job by Rossi. I reckon he needed that.

I think the current top 10 in the standings are probably an accurate picture of the top 10 drivers this year. And the title is coming from someone in the top 5, perhaps even top 3.
