Very scary crash for Rosenqvist throttle stuck

And another example of idiotic TV directing to focus on the in cockpit camera shot of a driver clearly in pain

Wow, some smash. Too late to try pull neutral or anything.

I think Ericsson hit him :pac: kidding of course.

Ohmeha · 12-06-2021 10:12pm

Well it's certainly not Will Power's lucky day

Charlie-Bravo · 12-06-2021 10:21pm

Brilliant for Ericsson. It's nice to see an ex F1 driver come into Indycar and get a win.

Charlie-Bravo · 12-06-2021 10:27pm

Oooh Will Power is really pisst at Indycar! There'll probably be repercussions for that outburst.

"F@#¥ this S~~~" - upset about losing an almost certain win.
Will was fuming with some justification, why was there a red flag and the stupid rule that all cars must be stopped before cooling can be provided needs to be changed immediately.

We go again later today - Power for the win

Sky cutting away before the coverage was over was dissapointing - obviously the umpteenth repeat of a F1 race takes precende. ...

Charlie-Bravo · 13-06-2021 12:18am

Yeah, they cut away too quickly for ads and a repeat of a race. Would be nice to see more driver reactions after this Indycar race.

No, it was 100% over. NBC had already gone an hour and twenty over their original window, so they quickly ushered themselves off air and directed the post race stuff to the NBC Sports website/app; which the internationals don't get a feed of.

Couldn’t help but think there was a hint of irony that it was Grosjean’s crash that led to the circumstances of Ericsson’s first victory. Overdue payback for all those pointing fingers at Baku year ago and the endless fun we have poked about it since. ! :P

Charlie-Bravo · 13-06-2021 9:37am

That is ironic!

I know we have some heat here in Ireland this weekend, but these guys are doing two races this weekend in a very hot Detroit. I'd say this race 2 will be one where concentration levels drop and we see lots of mistakes creep in making for great racing.

Infoanon · 13-06-2021 7:39pm

What a great finish to the race - thought the yellows would favour Josef , he held on very well at the end ,thought he was a sitting duck for the cars lined up behind him.

Road America next

Pato O'Ward, the Irish-Mexican!, won it.

flazio · 13-06-2021 9:44pm

G'man Pat.

Charlie-Bravo · 13-06-2021 11:12pm

That was some pass by Pato to take 1st. Touching wheels too! He's some racer to come from 15th.

Ohmeha · 14-06-2021 12:32am

Another really fun race, Pato first repeat winner this season he just looks faster than everyone tight now in an ultra tight competitive field

Half way point looks like the title is going to be between the top 6 with three previous mutitime champions and three talented young drivers who are all only in their 2nd full seasons which is incredible

TheChrisD · 15-06-2021 4:43pm

Road America this weekend.

There's going to be a big shakeup in the lineup this week, as Cody Ware of Rick Ware Racing fame will join us this weekend!
...alright, I guess the sarcasm doesn't come through well in text.

Friday
FP1 - 10pm

Saturday
FP2 - 4:05pm
Quali - 7:30pm (Sky Sports F1)
FP3 - 10:30pm

Sunday
Race - 5pm (Sky Sports Mix; SSF1 at 5:30pm after Ted's meander around Paul Ricard)
Green - 5:45pm

Good luck juggling all this around both the F1 and the F-E from Mexico.

Ohmeha · 15-06-2021 7:34pm

Veekay is a major doubt for Road America he has broke a bone in a cycling accident otherwise he is ok

Ohmeha · 16-06-2021 3:32pm

Kevin Magnussen to make his Indycar debut to replace Rosenqvist and Askew to replace Veekay

johnnysmack · 20-06-2021 6:51pm

Magnussen led the race for a while before pitting. Seems to be doing OK for his debut. Good bit down the field now after his stop.

I jinxed him. Appears to have lost electronics and has pulled over to the side of the track.

Put a quid on Sato to win at 100/1 in running. Not often you'll get those odds on someone who's leading a race. :pac: Don't really fancy him but he's the only one off-strategy really so it's a no-brainer to throw something on at that price.
Caution out, another 5 laps of caution and he can go to the end without stopping again. :pac:

johnnysmack · 20-06-2021 7:20pm

Grosjean is great entertainment in this race! Lots of close racing and overtakes!

[Deleted User] · 20-06-2021 7:23pm

Silly leaving someone out who's getting passed by multiple drivers on the straight. Even if there's caution etc. he's still at the back of the field with less fuel. Silly all around.

TheChrisD · 20-06-2021 7:53pm

It's just not Penske's year, is it?

Burkie1203 · 20-06-2021 8:39pm

Epic race. Old school track.

Charlie-Bravo · 20-06-2021 10:14pm

Enjoyed that race. And great to see so many ex F1 drivers lead the field for parts of the race.

Palou, he's some driver. He's making this championship his own...

TheChrisD · 02-07-2021 7:44pm

Mid-Ohio this weekend, the last race before the long Olympic break.

Burkie1203 · 04-07-2021 5:14pm

Crazy start so far

eagle eye · 04-07-2021 5:39pm

Feel.like Hertha is minding his car. They're saying Newgarden is the one taking it easy.
