i just got my youtube stream up and running and the first images i see are a Honda spewing smoke out the back.

The commentators and fans sound impressed with him, can't ask for more than that.

Well apart from a working engine obviously.

Indeed.

Familiar territory for Fred

[Smollet]

Well it's not something he's not used to with Honda

[Smollet]

Oooops. That's going to help those short on fuel

[GCH]

Big smash, more yellows. F*cking Chilton might win this.... wow

[FourWheelDrift]

Long clean up, maybe then 8 laps only after this is all cleared.

[vonuber]

That was a big bang.

[Quickmoose]

.........Max?........

[dtrump]

Blessing in disguise perhaps?

Alonso must think he is cursed.

[SmoothCriminal]

Surely Sato will win this he's been super so far

[geezerbutler]

Honda must be getting sick of Alonso destroying all their engines.....;)

Still, I reckon he'll fancy another go at this - I think he'll get a few offers based on this performance.

Shame the engine went. Alonso would have had a shot with a few laps remaining.

Thing is he might have been caught up in the last crash.

[andy355]

Come on Max

Never thought I would say that

Shame for Alonso, but then if he was still running he might still have been beaten by Chilton

I wonder if his team mates will be moaning that he's a jinx on Honda engines.

[skwdenyer]

It would be interesting to know quite how much extra power it is reckoned the Honda engines have (when they're working). As a way of understanding relative performances.

I haven't watched Indy cars for years. Thought I'd switch off once Alonso's engine let go, but I'm hooked! Much more action than F1.

Sure...but that's Indy racing.
Engine blowing is just....Honda.

You would take a bet that Alonso would have the reactions to miss.

Gutted for him.
