2017 Indianapolis 500

[p4cks]

V-TEC kicked in Alon'so

[williamp]

So, Brit Chilton for the win??

[bockaaarck]

Not very patriotic of me, but - come on Takuma!

[indigostr]

nnnooo Alonso.
did well to hold it.

Good to hear the applause from grandstands.

Chilton seems to have found his feet. British winner?

[fathomfive]

Fastest average lap speed of the race (so far) for Alonso though, didn't they say?

Honda really are st.

Maybe Taku at 17-1 was a good bet.

[Trabi601]

Alonso must be thoroughly fed up with Honda now. If I were him, I'd throw my toys out of the pram and sit out the rest of the season... or find a non-Honda Indy drive!

[g4ry13]

ffs, another stoppage.

[JonChalk]

That's a mess.

Chilton may just do this.

[MitchT]

Bugger!

More than proved himself today though.

[NRS]

That's going to take a bit of time to clean up.

[fathomfive]

Ooof!

That's messy.

[ClockworkCupcake]

I counted 5 cars involved in one shunt.

"Yellows breed yellows"

Edit: Commentators confirm 4 cars out, 1 spinner. So I counted correctly.

[MiniMan64]

They don't do small crashes here do they?

[louiechevy]

At least he's managed more laps today than all of this F1 season so far!

[RichB]

As a spectacle it has been littered with crashes and safety car periods.

Nooooooo, so gutted for him he was doing so well

Where does he go from here?
Does Indy because his Mclaren Honda keeps stting itself.
See Jenson take a grid penalty for failure of MGU
Jenson pee'd in his seat ( )
His Honda team mate has his engine st it's pants
His Honda st's it's pants

Not sure relations are going to be that smooth after it.


Nice to hear the applause for him though, he did an awesome job for a "rookie"

Yes, very heartening. Applause and a standing ovation from many. He has really impressed people.
