Any reason why indycars seem to go up in flames pretty easily? Can't remember the last F1 crash that caused fires

They don't look particularly easy to get out of either!

Shame for the race that Rossi got the penalty, not sure many can challenge Dixon. Although Sato has a tendency to go nuts in the later stages driving.

Missed a chunk by watching second half of UCL final so I'm guessing you're referring to the wheels which are made of magnesium which can easily spark up when bangs on the concrete wall. I've never seen the wheels on fire before from this and even PT and T Bell said the same thing.

Ah that explanes some of it, although there was a crash earlier where they said it was a turbo oil line.

He's gonna try and win it from the front, rather than position himself in 2nd for last few laps to get a run.
