@MikeGrey97 Indy 500 is always like this mate. Cruise around, don't crash, try be top 10/15 for the last pit stop cycle.

@7nightstorock Literally any racing series there’s not much action early on

On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate the 110th #Indy500? #IndyCar

@tiff_tv Not many actual meaningful changes for the lead though to be fair. 160 laps of cruising around on a fuel save to try and get one (maybe two more) laps just isn't what 'The Greatest Spectacle' should be (although always is). Race highlights are crashes and last few laps.

No, from Apache helicopters (or whatever they were) flying over the top of the parade laps, through the multiple lead changes, the accidents and everthing building up to that last lap ...

@triweb @cheapsuits @indycarpodcast I genuinely don't know the specifics but at least they're consistent with red flagging it near the end so I've no issues there.

@7nightstorock @cheapsuits @indycarpodcast Am I correct that they have yet to codify when the red flag will happen at the end of a race? Why don’t they just use the NASCAR system?

@cheapsuits @indycarpodcast Nope! Indycar is generally a better spectacle albeit Barber and Long Beach were boring as an F1 race this year. St Pete wasn't much better. Arlington was a decent event but not actually a great race.

@7nightstorock @indycarpodcast And F1 is sooooo much more exciting Zzzzzzzz

@Kaymull43 @indycarpodcast I've been watching indycar and F1 since the 90s. I love them both. The first 150 laps of the indy 500 are pointless, the cars are desperately in need of 2028 to come already, and this race is an utter snoozefest until the last few laps.

@7nightstorock @indycarpodcast I guess you think F1 cruising around playing follow the leader for the whole race is better. Every single race.

@cheapsuits @indycarpodcast Come on. Everyone cruising round on a fuel save for 160 laps. Leaders swapping positions to help their fuel save. Only gets interesting in the last 40 laps and even then it was only helped because they red flagged it (consistent approach to this over the years so fair enough).

@7nightstorock @indycarpodcast Sit this one out Brit. Stay with F1 Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

@tiff_tv @IndyCar You mean the last couple of laps in a 3.5 hour race was exciting Tiff?

I'm still on the edge of my seat, I'm exhausted, I'm in tears. That @Indycar 500 my friends was motor RACING at its very best! Massive congratulations to Rosenqvist who had it won until that late caution and fought back from third. Awesome. Has that Mario Kart race started yet?

@TomGaymor @FRosenqvist May as well just make it a 50 lap race.

Shades of Sam Hornish Jnr and Marco Andretti 20 years on 💥 Incredible finale to an incredible race, the closest finish in history! You are an Indy 500 race winner @FRosenqvist 🏆🥛 #Indy500 #INDYCAR

@jeffreyboadi_ Based on zero knowledge myself, I've always thought monitoring every aspect of your day to day life is meaningless if you can't understand or interpret the info correctly. Never mind that I'm guessing it then creates an unnecessarily analytical mindset too.

Perfect example of Whoop stats controlling someone’s life 3 glasses of wine might make you feel a bit groggy if you don’t drink all that often, but I can almost guarantee looking at data on a screen about how bad it made your sleep will make you feel 10x worse Over-optimisation and micromanagement of health creates less health and more fragility

@BBCSport Amazing lap but he is one monumental bellend.

Two pole positions in Canada 🇨🇦🏎️ George Russell takes his second pole of the weekend, leading the field for Sunday’s Grand Prix. The Brit also topped sprint qualifying and converted pole into victory.

@GillPile @MrJamesMay Happens often enough with whisky for me. I always keep a couple empty bottles I can decant into if needs be!

@MrJamesMay Yes, that’s what we did of course. Finding a cork to replace it is more tricky though, as we only had artificial wine corks which are difficult to whittle to size.

Oh bugger @MrJamesMay

@ChimeraX2021 @brook_f1 What I mean is if you take the running length of the last 15 indy 500s and started them at 12:45pm this year, none would run into this year's Canadian Grand Prix.

@7nightstorock @brook_f1 Because they all took place afterwards......

Yeah, swapping Monaco with Canada, which starts three hours after a race which, in the highly unlikely event of no full-course yellows still takes at least 2.5 hours, probably wasn't the best idea

@englandcricket Root on his march towards highest test run scorer.

Who are you excited to see in action this summer? 🤔

@ConnorLarkin92 @boxingscene I mean, Steve Cunningham dropped him and he was coming up from Cruiser.

@boxingscene People in glass houses and all that

Tyson Fury has labelled Anthony Joshua “chinny” after watching Daniel Dubois defeat Fabio Wardley. Thoughts?💭 #WardleyDubois

@DAZNBoxing Wardley is a lunatic and his corner should be ashamed letting him go out for that 11th round.

@IndyCarOnFOX Let's throw a caution and then green flag it sure whilst Rossi is getting out. What. The. Fuck. Who is making these decisions!

Alexander Rossi stalls on the front stretch.

The FIA is saddened to learn of the passing of Alex Zanardi, the former Formula 1 driver, two-time CART champion whose journey from life-changing accident to Paralympics gold medallist made him one of sport’s most admired competitors and an enduring symbol of courage and determination.

@Dave42065 @NicoleOnRacing @wbuxtonofficial If anyone expected him to be even remotely as successful as his dad I'd be surprised.

@7nightstorock @NicoleOnRacing @wbuxtonofficial Like his driving. Underwhelming. He’ll never be his dad. He’s already proven that.

Mick catching grief for this but his honesty needs context. Day 1. ROP. Gradual pace increase. Car isn’t trimmed out. Stands aren’t full. No pack running. He hasn’t yet driven IMS in anger. He’s also prepared for this. Phoenix was a step into the unknown. Something new and awe inspiring. This is the next step up. Not the giant leap it might have been were it, as for many recent rookies, his first oval. His comparison to F1 is also key but likely to be misunderstood. Even as an F2 champion he admits the step up to F1 was huge. His comments reflect that his preparation for Indy has been better because it doesn’t feel like a massive leap… yet. Some might see this as disrespect. But Mick has tried from the outset of this season not to be overawed by the challenge ahead of him. That doesn’t mean he is underwhelmed by what the track or the race represents. I’d argue he is trying to keep emotions in check. And for Indy that is absolutely vital. Because come race day, whether it’s your first or 21st, the 500 can be emotionally overwhelming. As for whether he “gets it” yet? Take him on his words the Monday after the 500.
