Mr. Pug commented on the post, Newgarden finally claims Indy 500 victory after three red flags and last-lap restart 5 days, 20 hours ago
Well that was… something. Overuse of the red flag made it feel like the finish to a NASCAR race. The red flag after O’Ward’s crash was questionable but the final one was just race control making it up as they […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, FIA bans drivers from making 'political statements' without permission 5 months, 2 weeks ago
This isn’t depoliticizing F1, this is just removing any potential dissent to the politics of those who write the biggest checks. From boxing championships to the Olympics to the World Cup, oppressive regimes h […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, Hamilton says F1 should extend races instead of ending them behind the Safety Car 8 months, 3 weeks ago
A race is run to a set time or distance and then that’s it. It’s the way auto racing has been done for the past 130+ years and while it sometimes leads to a disappointing finish it is the most fair way of det […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, McLaughlin dominates in Portland as Power heads to finale with points lead 9 months ago
Ignoring bonus points, the basic scenarios for the contenders are as follows:
Power, finish 4th or higher.
Dixon/Newgarden, win and Power finishes 5th or lower, must finish at least 7th.
Ericsson, must […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, IndyCar's determination to complete every racing lap is an example to F1 9 months, 2 weeks ago
@markzastrow It makes sporting sense but it seems odd that a wet start triggers a TV window friendly time limit but pre- and mid-race delays for rain or crashes can last for hours on end and the race will still go […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, IndyCar's determination to complete every racing lap is an example to F1 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Indycar does have a 2 hour time limit if a “wet start” (with mandatory rain tires) is declared. Barber 2018 is the most recent and extreme example of how inflexible the rule is as the race was postponed to Mon […]

@jerejj The start time for previous flyaway races has either been 2PM local time to boost local attendance and viewership or an afternoon to early evening European time to maximize international viewership. 7 AM […]

The start time seems designed to make sure no one is watching.

@bullfrog George Flaherty jr. won the 1957 Indy 500 but he raced under the name Pat. The first junior to win an F1 race was Phil Hill at the 1960 Italian Grand Prix.

Mr. Pug commented on the post, Ericsson isn't the only unexpected name leading the IndyCar standings at halfway 11 months, 1 week ago
He’s having a really good year in a series where the playing field is level enough that a really good year can put you in title contention.

Mr. Pug commented on the post, Rossi to join McLaren SP in 2023 after signing multi-year deal 1 year ago
@ajpennypacker Rossi has 6 podiums since 2020 versus the non-Herta Andretti drivers 3 so while Rossi has performed badly compared to his 2017-19 form and Herta it’s not like the rest of the team has done much to i […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, Ericsson repels last-lap attack from O'Ward to win Indianapolis 500 1 year ago
As a Longtime Dixon fan, this one stings. He’s nearly matched Mario Andretti for career wins and it’s starting to feel like he’ll stay tied for Indy wins. Congrats to Ericsson on the well deserved win. For a momen […]

Mr. Pug commented on the post, Power "extremely lucky" to avoid serious crash after pit exit spin – Dixon 1 year, 1 month ago
The road course cuts across the warm up lane so any wall would have to be temporary and probably couldn’t withstand an impact from a car traveling at full speed

Newgarden is eligible but as said by @tflb above I doubt he would leave Penske for Haas.

Mr. Pug commented on the post, Should Formula 1 add a third race in the USA? 1 year, 7 months ago
Strongly disagree. The U.S. GP was the first F1 race in the Americas in almost two years and there is no Canadian GP this year which certainly helped set the attendance record. COTA has had serious financial […]

The last all orange Mclaren win I can confirm is the 1976 Indy 500. Johnny Rutherford would later win the second race at Texas World Speedway but I have not found a photo of his car at that race. The orange was […]
