Had to google; 2 podiums and no wins the last year.

They definitely struggled for a while there though. They lost the best driver of all time though, so it is understandable.

It's good to see Alonso back at it this year.

Honda really put the work in too, despite that. Credit to them.

Max controlled from the start with that off the line in 2nd

bullshite how the restart went down... Merc should have gotten 1 pt for fastest lap and that’s it. Hamilton was down a lap and got benefit of Bottas screwing up.

That RB is the car to beat this year. With no upgrades they are still the best car in the field.

Russell is getting worked over due to his knee jerk reaction and blaming Bottas for the wreck.

I really like Russell, but it's hard to defend him on this one.

It does seem a bit out of character. He is usually known for being composed and well thoughtout. Did he actually hit Bottas helmut or just the halo?

Toto has already took a couple swipes at him. Not sure if that is a papa bear disciplining the cub type thing.

30 second penalty for Kimi. Drops him out of the points.

He spun on the restart then couldn't regain his position before the safety car turned its lights off.

FYI and siap, Roman Grosjean is driving in the Indy series today at barber motor raceway in Birmingham. No quit in this guy.

Why, Bottas, although not on purpose pushed him off the line to the right and Russels tire hit the grass causing the loss of traction and turn in.

It wasn’t Russels fault, but also don’t know if it was Bottas. Just bad timing all around.

Think most people have this take.

Most people except Russell.

Toto even said it was probably 60/40, but not sure who is 60 and who is 40. Not sure if you saw the post race interview, but that is what makes Russell look bad. Basically said Bottas raced him too hard.

Yeah I wish I had found out about that sooner and gone. I find him really unlikable from the show though. Maybe he's not really that way in real life.

He's French, so....


Never been a big fan of his, but his commitment to Indy and how he is doing it is a cool story to follow along with.

Go to Romain’s Instagram account...him tooling around the US in an RV has been pretty funny.

I am rooting for him. Anyone who wrecks like that and wants more has my respect.

Yep. Some sort of wholesomeness like going back to his roots or something. Love the family being along for a lot of it.
