One more fascinating stat to point out: Racer mentions that Rossi’s last lap was 40 mph slower than his race pace. Dude was really limping it in, but fortunately, he had the lead to pull it off.

I just kind of stood there looking at the monitor and looking at the window and looking at the monitor and not believing what I was seeing at all.

It’s not the game we want, but in Trump’s America, it’s the game we deserve.

You’re not familiar with the Monte Carlo circuit are you? Its unique layout means that the only option to get a car out of the way quickly is via these cranes. It’s been done safely and reliably for as long as I can remember, it has nothing to do with the racers, it’s the organizer’s decision. I think the reason this…

That’s what happens when you turn The Greatest Spectacle In Racing into a spec race.

Indycar will never recover from the damage caused by Tony George.

Here’s my problem. Aside from the Indy 500, I fee like indycar is just F1 light. I know this is completely wrong, but that’s how I feel about it. Every race I’ve tried to watch this year has been turned off within a half hour because I’m just bored. At least NASCAR has action even if they are only running in a circle.

I guess you didn’t watch all the way through to see when he switches over to landscape!

And all of that doesn’t even matter because he filmed it in portrait.
