Watching the build up, I take back everything bad I have said about F1 race grid festivities taking long. This is just one long "we love the USA" circle jerk...

yeah they tend to overdo the patriotism thing just slightly.

There are... a lot... of folk at the Brickyard.

Fernando dropped a couple of places on that start, but it's a long race.

And Fernando leads...

Holy s**t. Dixon's car sheered in half.

Dixon crazy lucky to survive that

No wonder Button kept saying "be safe" to Alonso, this looks way more dangerous than F1 after that crash

Was thinking about that too.

given that the average speeds are much higher than F1, its always been more dangerous

Gets crazier with every replay. Helio went under Scott's car while it was airborne... Jesus.

The safety cell in those Indicars is incredible. Dallara should be consulting to F1 teams for the safety cell. Neck support is briliant.
Alonso is driving like an ace. I just hope his car holds out and his concentration holds.

Didn't think I'd say an oval race would beat an F1 race but Monaco was rubbish today. This is fun.
