The Tower of Sauron appears to be in Nashville. Explains a lot.

Really impressed by Scott Mclaughlin, from what I can tell that outside of karting this is only his second season in single seaters.

I might be in a minority but I quite like the track, not exactly Suzuka but better than Monaco.

There's a lot to like & enjoy about Indycar, but today was a showcase for pretty much everything wrong with it.

Would have been a bit interesting if it was a full wet race! The twisty section is silly narrow for indycars.

Half the circuit reminded me of a Formula E circuit, the two bits over the bridge down into the best overtaking corners reminded me of the Birmingham Superprix (without the bridge obvs)

These guys made Formula E drivers look skilled and mature this weekend.

Power really is an easy-to-dislike, whiny turd - last few seconds show his true character;

Has a droll, dry sense of humour.

Used to dislike him but I really like him these days.

I like Will Power, he seems like the kind of guy that would get weird on a drunken night out.

Did anyone stay up? Good finish to the race, Malukas was coming on strong.

It had nothing on last nights St Louis 500.

Tedious doesn't even begin to describe it, the crowd seemed to agree too, staying away in their droves.

It must have been good to overcome the rest of the race, I gave up at the Red flag.

Good for malukas. Not sure about grosjean anymore, lots of radio talk about how his strategy was good and he was in the best position fuel saving wise, then ended up in the teens again

Andretti have a set-up philosophy that doesn’t work for him. Problem with the big teams.

The first 100 laps was boring our driver was singing over the radio. We had a mega car. So went for fuel save and could just overcut people as our tyre deg was far less than anyone else’s.

The second 100 was equally boring.

I think my major problem with indycar is the driver doesn't seem to matter for the result, it all seems to come down to who is best placed for the pits when someone hits the wall.
