I hadn’t kept up with Indy Car as much in recent years, but damn this Detroit course looks junky. Guess that is to be expected given the city.

When I was watching qualifying, I thought it looked like they built a race course on the grounds of a prison.

Downtown Detroit.

Power is on the primary tires and he's on fire. The alternate green tires are falling off. The fact that Power is able to pass everyone makes his strategy viable. Went from P7 to P2.

Edit: Oh, Hinchcliffe pointed out that Power has used up a lot of his push-to-pass, so that can come back to bite him later.

Wow, pit crew errors for Pato O'Ward and Josef Newgarden.

A tale of two young drivers. Alex Palou is the next Scott Dixon: clean drives, consistent performances = championships. Pato O'Ward is too emotional and takes too many risks; he wins races but I don't see how he'll ever win a championship.

Rahal is giving Latifi vibes.

ETA: not really.

It was such a good race through the first pit stops. Now we're having the predicted epidemic of yellows.

This track is ugly, but the racing has been entertaining. Hopefully the 2nd half with be cleaner than this middle portion.

Been a good race, almost like they made the track too small for the cars.

Downtown Detroit does have small streets, but damn this is tight

Teammate on teammate violence! Felix not playing nice!

Edit: this is meant as a positive statement, Felix getting aggressive.

So I thought I would hate this track but I kinda like it.

ETA: If Monaco is a Chik-fil-A, then this track is a Popeyes….downtown..in the hood.

I wasn’t gonna say it, but his F1 car didn’t explode on its own that day.
