Takumo might think different though. He was quick before the race wass topped.

Power having a good whinge and blaaming Indycar for throwing a red, not allowing fans quick enough and anything else. Not happy.

Big hit for Felix. Seeing him accelerating into that wall was a pretty scary sight.

Three wide off pit road is... Interesting.

Yesterday I'd been thinking that Grosjean has been doing well. He hasn't been crashing at all. Oh, wait.

Will Power has had some awful reliability issues in the last few years. Sigh.

Yep. That F1 rule really, really, really shits me.

I think RoGro just ran out of steam towards the end. Look at how fried people were in their cars towards the end. Rossi looked as if he'd pass out at any moment. Wouldn't be the least surprised if RoGro just lost focus and clobbered the wall.
