stormybadger8 said:Based on everything we've seen... McLaren had the car to pull off a 1-2 in qualifying.They would have taken pole position without a second thought if Lando hadn't crashed.

With a Richard like this? A 1-5 finish feels much more realistic. 😁

Norris got greedy, and he completely blew it.

Russell’s talent? Unquestionable. But is he ready to secure a championship? Not quite yet.

How much can one guy actually mess up? What kind of ridiculous mistakes can someone even make? It took him nearly 50 races just to scrape his first points with Williams, and that was in a race that was anything but normal.

To drive a single lap well? That’s one thing. But to master an entire race? That takes a completely different level of skill and precision. 😉

Conditions at Indianapolis Motor Speedway are even worse than yesterday regarding the rain.
Everyone is opting for full wets.

Looks like Bernd Maylander will be busy keeping his journal up to date again today.

The forecast is still looking like nothing more than a light drizzle. When was the last time we actually saw a race fail to even start? The last stoppage? Malaysia 2009? Australia 1991?

And just like that, Sergio Perez has absolutely demolished the barrier. I suppose we should all sit back and wait for Sebastian Vettel to step out of the car, grab a toolbox, and fix it himself.

Sergio Perez looks defeated already, even before the green flag drops. 😁

George Russell: "Visibility is very poor. Even when I was about six seconds behind the car ahead, i couldn't see down The straight."

I have a feeling this is going to be a good night.

Is Cassette already out of the race?! 🙂

Well, look at this one.

Red flag, red flag, ha ha.

Perez was basically heading for a black flag anyway.

That’s what happens when you try to be Max Verstappen’s teammate. On any given day, maybe two drivers—fine, let's say three—can actually challenge him. Sergio certainly isn't one of them.

Jason Campbell70 said:Man, this guy is something else.

I mean, I honestly wonder if they even have a choice when they're forced to bring someone like this in.

Does Joel Russell come from a wealthy family, or does anyone actually know?

As if you aren't born into poverty to even consider getting involved in motorsports.

Is anyone planning on streaming this?

I mean, fair point, but look at the spectrum. You’ve got guys like Esteban Ocon who actually had to grind just to stay on the grid, versus someone like Lance Stroll or Nicholas Latifi who essentially have a golden ticket thanks to their bank accounts. Then there's poor Sebastian Vettel, who's basically being paid to give "driving lessons" now. It's a weird landscape.

I am genuinely looking forward to the kickoff. There is going to be a lot happening.

Everything was going fine before Sergio Perez crashed

Same here.

Give streameast.live a shot.

Just killing time until this rain lets up.

I honestly don't think this race is going to make it to the finish line. The conditions are just terrible right now; we’re looking at constant pit stops, crashes, and plenty of SC-s. I have my doubts we'll even see the final lap.
In my opinion, these aren't the kind of conditions you should be racing in. They really ought to call the race and, I don't know, just follow the rulebook.
