Anybody else think Lundgaard is delighted not to be in an Alpine today?

IT'S ALIVE.

Well, I’ve got Naomi and Damon in Baku on my TV.

Looking forward to this season. Let's hope Alex doesn't try to mimic Max Verstappen any more.

Still nothing…

Ahh Scotty Mac and the thirsty 3’s

Love Newgarden’s new helmet.

[red stick]

Nothing says we're embracing the new as much as having Sirius XM's Bon Jovi channel as a sponsor.

Excellent appreciation Afterburner. Thank you.

[Afterburner]

Rasmussen's tilted 20 in the scoring graphics is driving my OCD insane.

Turn your TV to adjust.

The sporty car guys aint looking so hot.

[maximilian]

So I got a deal for Peacock $1.99/month for 6 months.  Seems not bad? 

[red stick]

Yep. Pretty good deal.

is the fantasy league listed in the public leagues? or a private league?

[juicy sushi]

Felix half a second clear is impressive. The entire rest of the top 20 basically within half a second is bonkers.

[loki]

Didn’t realize there was a new practice format.

It’s Indycar, good chance no one did. 😉

[djparky]

I was at the track today and thought the new format was OK, the red flags didn't help some drivers buts that's always the case. you can see Mclaren are spending some cash, they've got 2 huge hospitality areas and the strategy office. Big queue for the driver autograph session today

Braun probably quite literally met his crew within the last 48 hours; Blomqvist is just trying to get useful seat time.  I'd expect both to improve with laps.

I thought it was because I was paying too much attention to Bonergate…

I make fun of McLaren pretty often, but you do need to tip your hat to their level of investment in the series. The effort is definitely pushing everyone else to up their games as well.

Well, if you're like me and listened to the amazing WGBH podcast on the Big Dig a few months ago, that song is an earworm for the rest of your life.

 

Also, vaguely auto-related as Damon and Naomi were the rhythm section for the band Galaxie 500.

Just a quick reminder to sign up for the Fantasy League, and then PM Afterburner to add you to the Atlas Autosport private league.

DO IT NOW, or else you'll regret it later.  At the very least you can start the season then forget you ever signed up, and that way I'll make it to the first page this year when the second page is full of all you losers with nul points.

I honestly don’t know. Probably private???
As you have to get added via your email
I’d ask Afterburner.

Blomqvist stymied by gearbox issues in P1.

Yup, grandfathered in from last year.

55 minutes to P2.

3 years in and they don't know how to sustain themselves with a drink? Frankly I'd be quite embarrassed to have this ridiculous moniker still following me.

… thirsty could be thirsty for victory too.

 

Chadwick may not be slow in NXT and Rowe is on the learning curve.

I get the impression they like being referred to as drinkers instead of racers

[paulb]

Likely true to some extent, agreed.

[red stick]

First ninja reference of the year. Speaking of drinking, here's a clear beer bingo entry.

Why is Ferrucci still in the pits?

[FLB]

And why have they made Timing and Scoring harder to follow?

Car issue. They took it behind the wall.

[FLB]

Kirkwood has hit the wall. The car is in the pits, but he's climbed out.

Didn't realize the Robb livery was metallic gold. Rendering unto Caesar?

I so want Satano Ferrucci rear end that thing. Hard, without lube.

Getting ever closer to a sub-minute lap.
