'We won the last championship with only two wins, so that shows how competitive it is in IndyCar. The goal is to try and repeat that, improve a bit, and try to win the Indianapolis 500.'

  1. No coverage of the Bathurst 12-hour?

    Valentino Rossi got second!

      That was wild. RF doesn’t really touch much outside of F1 unless a current, former or prospective F1 driver was involved.

  2. Deagen Fairclough looks marginally similar to George Russell at a quick glance, so no wonder I briefly mixed up & therefore had to be careful, especially as even the driving suit is predominantly black.

    I like the Caption Competition nomination, which is basically the same as mine, & even though this whole thing is meant to be taken light-heartedly, he’s more likely IndyCar-bound beyond this year, if nothing within F1.

      I could see him being extremely exciting in that series, especially if he has no fear of doing ovals.

  3. Palou winning the Indy would certainly be a great thing to complete his legacy. He got so close in 2021 already.

    Anything but “those guys”, I guess. The muted response to the winner last year was rather awkward. Very much justified, but still not the way you want to see such a legendary event conclude.
