DeFrancesco takes out Sato.

Palou leads at half-way after pitting before the multi-car pile-up gained him track position.

11 retirements. An old fashioned wreckfest and Dixon wins ahead of McLaughlin. Herta and Rossi Top 5 and Newgarden 6th despite being the last car on the lead lap (14th) before the last two cautions. Lundgaard had no push to pass left so dropped from 3rd to 8th in the last 1.5 laps.

Man, some of those sections are still Formula E levels of go-kart action.

Some of it is not even two cars wide. Ive seen wider hillclimb tracks. I feel sorry for the drivers having to deal with the narrow stuff.
I can see why the wet wouldnt work there.

@MonteCristo Good work on the predictive "Crashville" thread title btw.

I kinda missed what caused Ericsson's gearbox failure but it looks like he was hit by Grosjean? :whistling:
