I do wonder how much this is 'for show', Roger trying to show that he runs a tight ship and will take action regardless of the ownership of the series. No doubt they'll still be working on the cars between the races and be at the workshop but just not at the races. No doubt still on full pay too.

All true, but Cindric not being on the pit wall, at Indy in particular, is a big thing

Personally think it is for show, they are taking one for the team. I want to know why Power didn't press the button, was he aware of the cheat or not, I just don't see that the other drivers pressed by habit.

Pourchaire now confirmed to take over the No. 6 McLaren until the end of the season.

Excluding Indy, which Ilott is still in for.

Katherine Legge nudging the wall with her rear tyre at 220mph and not lifting off. Amazing stuff!

Remember to tip your servers properly. wink (I have a a number of friends in hospitality who are always happy to tell me tales of tight fisted Brits here for the 500).

It's hot and humid here in Indy today but forecast to be a little cooler with a chance of rain on race day.

One of the drivers was saying that, to avoid a reflex lift, some drivers have both feet on the throttle at 240 mph.
