holy jeez, Indy just had their Abu Dhabi moment, wonder how quickly the rule change there will be implemented.

You’re not wrong about the car and while I’m a fan of Aston & Alonso, I’m no fan of the Stroll’s. The only reason Lance is on the team is because of daddy. And daddy is a giant ass.

It certainly did. Sure wish Alonso didn't put on the wrong tires on his first stop. I don't know that it would have changed anything, but would have made things more interesting.

All racing series' need hard and fast rules as to what they will do for late race yellow/red flag occurrences. There is no need to have to make it up on the fly. Each track can be different as needed. Crank up and one lap to a green and white flag is just not right at Indy. Since NASCAR went to all the OT crap, every race series thinks they have to end a race under green.

That man was a wrecking ball all race from the opening lap when he dive-bombed I want to say Albon, to when he had to quit because of damage. Any other driver would have seen their seat stripped away by now. He's awful.
I was hoping that Pato would get it, ugh as soon as I saw him hit the dirt in the corner... Gah. Feel bad for Zak Brown, McLaren in general is such a shit show right now, from engineers killing the car in F1 to the wrecks in Indy yesterday. Oof
Apparently, Alonso was calling for Inters, their strategists called for Inters, and the crew put on Mediums anyway. Oof again
Weekend takeaways:
1. Rain made the attractive parade that is Monaco a bit more exciting. Doubt Alonso would have caught Verstappen, but the right tires probably would have made for some fun watching, for a few laps anyway.
2. Indy is lucky no one was hit by that flying tire. And the ending was a shitshow. End it under yellow or reset for a, say, five lap finish. Or whatever you do, give the drivers one shot: a yellow for a wreck ends the race at the next start/finish line. No more of this "complete one lap before a yellow or we restart, again and again and again..."
3. The Coke 600 was a decent race. Good track, good atmosphere. But I just can't stand competition cautions and stage racing. If someone is half a lap better in a race, and wins by that amount, so be it.

Pretty good result today for McLaren, or at least Norris. Things definitely seem to be trending in the right direction for them, very easily could have finished much better last week and now getting 5th behind RB and Ferrari while breezing past Merc is pretty much right where they were a few years ago.
Only thing with the McLaren was they should have gotten same penalty as others. Seems like they did a typical f1 interpretation where his going off the track because of mistakes weren't counted towards the number of track limits infractions. Because he definitely went off more than 3 times over the race. But he didn't get hit while like 18 others did it seems..
But their most recent upgrade package was really working at this track. Not the typical severe tire deg that makes them go backwards in a hurry over a course of a long run... no one could keep up with the red bulls and Ferrari today.. but Norris was fighting to the end...

Y'all could have just closed this thread and started a new F1 thread, but noooo.
The first week was on me. The rest of it is on your friendly neighborhood mods.
