Pato and Dixon knocked out?

[modern spade]

yep

[vast seal]

wow

[modern spade]

yeah the back half is tasty

[vast seal]

has Palou gone out yet?

[modern spade]

Ed Carpenter Racing looking good

and Power has fucked up

he's done

[uneven coral]

Jinxing 100

which channel is it on in the UK ?

[modern spade]

sky

f1

[uneven coral]

oh pog

[modern spade]

nah this is becuz of Indycar rules

[earnest lagoon]

sky F1 but also sky indycar sometimes

[modern spade]

if you screw up in quali

you get docked your fastest laps

[earnest lagoon]

indycar rules states that if you provoke yellow flags they remove your lap yes

[modern spade]

so progression becomes tough af

[modern spade]

no yellows only straight red flags

power didn't even bother

[earnest lagoon]

you can't pull a schumacher

[modern spade]

lol power is angry

[earnest lagoon]

blocking the track after your fast lap

to get pole

[modern spade]

yeah love these rules

don't properly work in F1

[minor inlet]

1 thing about american commentators i cant stand is that they talk about drivers coming from other series like they r rookies

[earnest lagoon]

bottas would have been screwed in austria last year too

well they are rookies

[minor inlet]

well

i mean like they have never stepped foot in a race car

[earnest lagoon]

they laughed about them being "rookies" on the first race of the season

[modern spade]

and Indycar is pretty different

grosjean fast six plz

[earnest lagoon]

so I gugess it's just a running gag now

[modern spade]

and he's thru

gg

woohoo

lovely stuff

[minor inlet]

so what happens to the fast 6

[modern spade]

single lap flyers

[minor inlet]

ah

[normal spear]

wow

that is a strange top 6 gg grosjean, mclaughlin and daly

[earnest lagoon]

i missed everything again

to many ad breaks

[modern spade]

watch on sky

if u can

[minor inlet]

i dunno about the indy 500 being the top thing in motorsport

you have 24h of le mans

and other things

but hey american commentators amirite

[uneven coral]

in which context you're talking about ?

[earnest lagoon]

it's definitely one of the top things

[minor inlet]

like when they were showing the times for the indy500

[minor inlet]

yeah obviously

but it's not the absolute pinnacle is it

[earnest lagoon]

is it over?

[uneven coral]

I don't know either

[normal spear]

it is defo one of the top things

[uneven coral]

the Yellow flag is still here

[earnest lagoon]

I struggle to watch because they put some bits of track action between the ads and it's confusing

[uneven coral]

Oh yeah, it's started again.

[normal spear]

what else are you going stick into the triple crown

i'd say winning le mans and the indy500 is probably more difficult than a gp monaco win these days anyway

[minor inlet]

it's only really big in america tho lol

[earnest lagoon]

Palou in the fast 6 oh boy

ok the top6 still have to quali

[modern spade]

yep

[normal spear]

yet here we are talking about it and it being put on a big broadcaster in the uk

[modern spade]

it's green rn

it's one of the oldest motor races in the world

[minor inlet]

yeah

[modern spade]

how tf doesn't it matter

[earnest lagoon]

Winning monaco is the hardest because you need to be lucky enough to drive a mercedes or a RB

[modern spade]

yeah

[uneven coral]

And we're broadcasting it on a channel that is supposed to broadcast F1 races.

[modern spade]

no one shot winning rides

[minor inlet]

just because it's old doesn't mean that it's the top

[normal spear]

yeah my point though from then on you can easily do it these days because you can back up and stop strategy something that ricciardo played in 2018

[modern spade]

define top tho

top is relative kek

[normal spear]

the indy500 is flat out and ever changing

christ villeneuve won it from like a lap down iirc

[modern spade]

grosjean might get a podium tomorrow

plz let it happen

[uneven coral]

Might get a win*

😏

[minor inlet]

the way they say romayne grojan

[earnest lagoon]

what I love about indy is that anyone can win if they do a good enough race

[modern spade]

too much expectations from DCR

they aren't the masters of strategy

[normal spear]

what i love about indy is that it is a breath of fresh air from me watching f1 for 13 years without taking a look at indycar

[modern spade]

oof

you missed out

[minor inlet]

grosjean go

[normal spear]

i had motogp though 😏

[minor inlet]

[earnest lagoon]

Also you can see how little the grass slows them down

Is like
The worst runoff to have

It won't slow you down at all

The worst thing about Karting track runoffs tbh

Yeah but on the other hand gravel isn't very handy in them either

Asphalt probably is the best for kart tracks

[eternal ravine]

I dont think so

Pretty sure the clutch is on the wheel

[lethal steeple]

some events do it

[prisma blaze]

Well actually yeah

Last week they didn’t do the anthem at all

Which is annoying

[empty jasper]

CDC came out and said people who are fully vaccinated don't need them. Can't say everyone in those stands are vaccinated but hey, maybe.

[lethal steeple]

oooh fuck that belt

[tight quiver]

its a recommendation

Indy doesn't have the money or wherewithall to really make something out of what they have

[modern spade]

Roger should invest in one

[timber umbra]

[fleet path]

finally we're back

[modern spade]

F1 has it's own team

[timber umbra]

take care of your equipment god damn

[modern spade]

and then commentators

[prisma blaze]

Idk if “pricks” is referring to annoying people or checking blood sugar

[lethal steeple]

??????? pitting already?

[empty jasper]

Roger wants Indy to be American F1 but he needs the production to be there.

[prisma blaze]

Could be both

[modern spade]

blood sugar

[modern spade]

strat calls

[prisma blaze]

Yeah but like

[fleet path]

The Mclaren's look sick

[lethal steeple]

yeah i know

[peak ginkgo]

[modern spade]

the product being promoted is an insulin inhaler

[lethal steeple]

already feeling a dixon win 😋

[prisma blaze]

Yeah the people who sell insulin are pricks though

[modern spade]

and they are at the back of the grid

[timber umbra]

indycar is so old school

[peak ginkgo]

my man slow down

[fleet path]

i'm gonna be dead by the end of the race

[empty jasper]

GOATjean driving like a bat out of hell

[modern spade]

man CGR did good strat

[midnight kite]

Remember folks, if JPM completes a lap, it will be the first time he has completed a lap around Indy for Mclaren

The prophecy has been fulfilled

[modern spade]

and i feel AMSP just copied

[fleet path]

Grosjean absolutely sending it

[lethal steeple]

actually

[modern spade]

he should too

[lethal steeple]

harvey is on black rubber

[modern spade]

he's on the reds

needs the gap

[lethal steeple]

he's holding up Newgarden and Palou on reds

[midnight kite]

The fact that Montoya never finished a lap in Indy with McLaren during his stint with them is

[empty jasper]

Rahal angrier than an F1 guy dealing with Mazepin

[modern spade]

and doing a good job of it

[prisma blaze]

How are they called reds and blacks and not softs and hards

[fleet path]

woah 4 pitstops

[buoyant shale]

[modern spade]

[prisma blaze]

NASCAR literally has scheduled cautions and fox and nbc show commercials over racing

[fleet path]

Asia/Middle East Region

[lethal steeple]

nevertheless, i think if with no caution grosjean will come out P1 as harvey is still holding up the field

[modern spade]

it's free. check out imsa tv

[fleet path]

damn that's fucked

[fleet path]

WOAH

[modern spade]

this sounds weird too

[fleet path]

in F1 comparison right?

[lethal yacht]

[lethal steeple]

"dale coyne is a great strategist"

[lethal yacht]

It wouldn't surprise me if I see a political ad during this race

[fleet path]

he's using the Red Bull strategist from Spain or something jesus

[empty jasper]

Nah there's no campaigns

[minor inlet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fleet path]

Oh Indy has no blue flags this is even more fricked
