Who’s ‘we’? Are you an Indycar driver?

He might have been saving his ego a bit. Pagenaud wasn’t in front of him until after entering the braking zone ( there was a lot of shuffling ahead ) and I think he just misjudged the distance. Graham drove fine the rest of the way, so I think single corner brake issues would seem a bit too convenient.

Depends on what you’re into.

Meh... I’ve seen better.

Ricciardo’s pass was good ( as was his whole race ), but Bottas kind of gave him the racing line and let him by.

F1 tracks, for the most part, are very wide and have acres of runoff. it makes the cars appear much slower than they actually are. On a street course with narrow walls like: Long Beach, St. Pete or Monaco, the speed is much more readily apparent.

The on board does show Dixon moving over on Bourdais before the end of the pit wall, but he immediately goes back ( probably because he saw what was there ). While the corner cam doesn’t pick them up until Bourdais is already over the line, it also shows Dixon moving to his left ( after completing his own pass ) and…

Charlie Kimball has got to be one of the least popular drivers ever in the Indycar paddock. Dude has had beef with everyone due to his... let’s say ambitious... maneuvers and their frequently less than fruitful results.

The last gen BMW was a problematic car form the get-go. It wasn’t designed to make the best use of the regs ( being a converted car ) and they were never able to balance it with the others. The few occasions where BMW got breaks they also managed to bin it all on their own, so the results look worse.

My kneecap does that every time I jump ( and in a few other situations ) due to an injury from my youngin’ days. Basically my kneecap can sometimes jump off it’s ‘track’ and move side to side, which is excruciating, but it usually goes back into place on it’s own.

Trotting out 6/10 of a Jimmy Butler ( the dude looks like he’s held together by duct tape and superglue right now ) and a Karl Anthony Towns who seemed to shy away from the paint after getting bossed by Capela in the 1st didn’t help either.

It wasn’t the same situation at all. Mercedes could easily have covered the pit delta in Australia despite the VSC, but they miscalculated it.

Young LeBron took jump shots. For Simmons, that’s the single biggest hole in his game.

I don’t think anyone on GSW can guard AD 1:1. Javale McGee has the length, but not the athleticism.

It was for Vettel and Bottas.

...but I don’t see Zaza Pachulia out there.

Yeah, I guess it’s really just Bottas and Vettel that were already past.

If they’d put a bit more effort into IMSA, it’d be great, but a single, underfunded quasi-factory team that reportedly can’t even pay it’s mechanics isn’t gonna get it done.

There’s this thing that keeps verstappening race after race. You never know when it’ll verstappen, but you know it will, because it verstappens every race weekend. If it keeps verstappening this year, I think a certain driver should be going back on probation until it verstappens no longer.

Not just strategy, but luck. If Mercedes or Ferrari hadn’t been passed the pits when the safety car came out, they could have stopped as well, but it just wasn’t to be. That said, it was a hell of a drive by Ricciardo and he earned that win.
