The irony. 

Anyone else notice who was in the background watching this? Robert’s team owner, Sam Schmidt, who himself is a quadriplegic following an IndyCar testing crash in early 2000.

Great to see Sam Schmidt there with him as well.

It’s engagement/involvement. It’s a physical connection to the machine in a world where more and more we’re only asking the computers that are driving our cars to turn, go or stop. It’s actual control, not the illusion of control. I’ve dailyed a manual for 25 years and just bought another one. I don’t see that…

oh eat shit

Not this again. Pro tip: stay off the internet (and off social media) if you don’t want a sports result spoiled.

You got that racist word. Apparently Ferrucci and his father were speaking in demeaning fake Indian accents to Arjun Maini and his brother who is an F3 driver all weekend. This kid is done.

Prolly saved the driver’s life. If he couldn’t make it TO the mountain, odds are he couldn’t make it UP the mountain either.

What “damn good reason” would present to a parent to try and convince them to watch their child burn to death from a safe distance? Would you watch a complete stranger burn to death because rule 46b said not to cross the white line?

I followed all your instructions but the car in the background still came out grainy. Any suggestions?

But the track deserves so much worse
