    There's some pretty tight racing, so he's going to have to be super aware of what's around him... And beware of Ericsson hitting him out of nowhere.

    No oval racing is probably good for him. Not wanting to be unkind, but one silly move and you could wind up killing somebody on a super oval.

    lol, I was going to say something abut Ericsson hitting him. Poor Romain, forever a meme, I bet he hates the guy that said it.

    Not an auspicious start. Really hope he has a year that is good and puts last year behind him.

    Indycar back this weekend (finally!) at Barber. Practice 2 on now, race tomorrow. Anybody thinking of following this season? I need somebody to take bets with on what lap Grosjean bins it!

    Grosjean in with a shout of putting it in the top 6 in quali!

    What a tricky little circuit this is in Alabama- the downhill cambers on some of the corners is so challenging

    Ive only caught snippets of Indy last year and Pato O’Ward caught my eye- I think Arrow McLaren will be very competitive in years to come.

    What’s the difference in engines this year Sgt?

    Honda seemed to be number 1 last year so I’m hoping Chevrolet can even it out and make it fun

    Not really sure where they sit this year. I guess time will tell. But yes. O'Ward is pretty special! There could be a title run brewing here.

    Taking bets on which lap Will Power and Grosjean bin it. I've got lap 12 for Grosjean!

    Despite losing a few big guns on the first lap. That was a bloody good race. Needed about 5 more laps though. :)

    Watched some of the replays of the Bottas/Russell incident tonight. Yeah... All Russell really. He's got room, Bottas is pretty much on the dry line. He's just flinched and binned it.

    Guess it's not six since it's about to kick off. Thought it was a 12pm start here.
