These commentators are fucking awful.
Every pitstop - oh, this will be really close! Then it turns out it's not at all close.
Herta a moment ago - this'll be the lead, he's going to take the lead. Herta comes out 5th, and 4 seconds off the lead.
It was so fucking obvious, and he barely got out of pit road before JN and PO'W, let alone around the tight and slow pit exit.

I knew with 21 to go that Pato wouldn't be able to get close enough.

Four laps of good racing until Sato binned it and we end behind the SC. Good night.

VINDICATION! Kinda.
Interesting that they used it for the trucks though. Indycar has used it previously (with their compound - Phoenix I think?). Might have made it racier.

Watched the last 100 laps. I assume I missed nothing in the first 100.
Pity about the end. Sato shunt! That was certainly getting wild in those last 10 laps - great racing.

Bad races. Never seen so few passes in Indycar I think.

The first race was intriguing with the different pit strategies going on. The second one was just plain bad.
That might be down do the aero screen messing up the air, to the tyre degradation (there was none) and the fact that they moved it from a night race to mid-day. Or a combination of all three.

This round flew under my radar and I didn't even know it was to be contested thanks to the dog's breakfast sked. Sounds like I didn't miss much of note.

Prior to those last 10 laps though, forget it - dire.
