Indianapolis Motor Speedway: Looks like rain is hitting around 1:50 PM

Actually, I think I’ve figured out a clever way to save some cash at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and I’m planning to test it out next year: just grab a single-day ticket for Saturday for around 60 bucks or whatever the rate is, then head into the track carrying a sleeping bag, some snacks, and plenty of booze. From there, we can just camp out illegally somewhere in the woods within the circuit perimeter. Last year, there was a massive crowd of people camping out in the trees like that when I showed up the next morning.

urbanhawk17 said:I usually just watch the ESPN stream where they have two Mexican commentators. There isn't all that screaming whenever someone overtakes someone else, like you see over at Prasička. People just comment normally, and more importantly, they actually know a lot about Formula 1.
At least for me, since I only tune in for qualifying and the races. 😁
That's pretty much it. I enjoy their broadcasts. 👍
Grace Barnes said:Fernando Alonso is definitely a top-tier driver, but some of you are being incredibly childish with the worship,
treating every little thing he did as if he completely dominated the field. Even just passing slower cars using DRS on a long straight is being labeled as him "outclassing" them. It’s honestly ridiculous... It just feels like people are venting their frustrations over how Sebastian Vettel is performing.
Sure, Alonso climbed from 9th to 3rd, but let's look at the reality: Lewis Hamilton had a tire failure, Felipe Massa had a tire failure, and Sebastian Vettel dropped out. Right after the first pit stop, he lunged right in front of Ricciardo because his crew took about 7.4 seconds to swap tires. Then, in this final stretch, he "outplayed" Kimi Raikkonen simply because Lotus left him on old tires, plus Sergio Perez moved in a way that caused another tire blowout. (To be fair, Perez probably would have stayed ahead anyway, but he could have held him up just enough to save the rubber. And even then, beating Kimi would have been tough if he had changed tires too.) Given all those lucky breaks, he earned that 3rd place spot. We need to be realistic—praise his brilliant moves when they happen, because he certainly makes them, but don't try to turn him into a hero based on a race like this. To me, the real hero of the race is Lewis Hamilton; if the SC had come out just a few laps earlier, he easily could have overtaken Fernando and fought his way onto the podium despite all that lost time with the tire issue.
