The jobbing around up front is pathetic enough, but what's Tsunoda's excuse for impersonating a boomer doing 20mph en route to the garden centre this afternoon? How can he be a full minute behind the car in front? 

Apply something like the old 107% rule and apply to race conditions to disqualify these diddies.

Lazenby just said it's been delayed, but he has to go through the Sky promos before telling us why

Already more exciting than Monaco

Right get that aff and get the Indy 500 on 

Kyle Larson has a choice to make. Surely his priority is to his Nascar ride later on.

Looking at the weather he may be stuck in Indy due to electricity in the air

Genuinely don’t get the appeal of the Indy, or oval racing in general. It’s like watching a marathon that just goes round a track, part of the appeal of proper circuits is that there are recognisable/difficult corners not just going left all day.

I think you'll find it's a lot more nuanced than 'going left all day'. The drivers all say that the four corners on oval tracks have different characteristics depending on camber, bumps, track surface among other factors. I've been watching oval racing for decades now and very often find the action better than conventional racetracks and some of the best was Nigel Mansell in car footage during his 2 year stint there. Perhaps not to everyones taste which is fair enough.

As long as the regulations stay on top of the 'dirty air', oval racing is epic. Give teams half a chance(like F1 have this season) and the engineers will make their cars difficult to follow then it turns it into a procession
