Bottom post of the previous page:

Wow Grosjean loves his fires. Leaps out of his car with it on fire at the front and go to the marshall post and grabs a fire extinguisher.
to go fight the fire himself. (I think he spun from a lack of brakes but spun and the brakes were on fire so....

So, whats the plan..... run behind the pace car for six laps and then red flag it so they can get another 3 lap sprint finish?

Herta's little moment under brakes has now cost him 3rd to Palou

O'Ward has cleared off up the road.
Wins by 6 seconds from Newgarden Palou and Herta

If Ricciardo keeps sucking at McLaren I wonder if O'Ward gets some F1 consideration?

He could well be #1 title favorite the way things are going for him this season.

Pato is damn good.

But overall, I'm mostly confused about Penske's tyre strategy. With reds at the end, they surely would have known they would have been vulnerable in case of a caution. And they were. In any case, excellent damage limitation by JoNew there.

Ricciardo has a multi-year contract, but O'Ward is the real deal for sure. The F1 test he has been promised is surely a lot more than just a fun trackday now.

O'Ward has always looked good, save one ill fated SuperLeague Formula series. I think he was a victim of the ruthless RB Academy, and it's great to see him on form.

O'Ward is so damn exciting. The way he rides curbs is a joy to watch.

Rossi is so damn in the wars this year.

Meanwhile, Dixon at the start... so damn lucky.

Agree re: Penske tyre strategy. It would be fine for short sprint with fresh tyres, but not a long 20-lap stint.

And just because...
