Well even the rain couldn't prevent Monaco from being a complete procession, hopefully Indy delivers. In fact Danica Patrick is wearing nothing but a coat, so already an improvement
Turns out Monaco comfortably > Indy 500. 100 laps of boring, then 50 laps of boring. Then when it supposed to get good it descended into 20 laps of farce that makes Spa '21 a comparative spectacle with race control doing a Massey to gift the victory to newgarten.
Safety there was worrying, too many near misses. Tyre flying off a car over the fence, by pure luck flying through a gap in the stands and ending up in a car park.
2 incidents in the pit lane. How no one was injured was a miracle.
Totally agree, I'd add that the sight of Canapino's car slowly rolling into another smashed car sent a chill thru me, as you couldn't tell if it was because it had no brakes, or the driver was dead. It brought back horrible memories of previous accidents.
The majority of overtakes in Indycar seem to happen at the right at the start, before the long train starts, from restarts, & in the pit stops, & as a result drivers & pit crews take enormous risks & as you say it's a wonder there wen't multiple fatalities, or serious injuries yesterday.
