Yeah! Seems like the season is shaping up nicely. The whole field looks competitive, so I expect many different winners and some drama this season. Great to see Juan adapt well. Sure he'll be there once or twice to grab a "great" result from the season favourites. Sure I'll cheer for him to do so. :P

Can we ask IndyCar to drop Pablo from Juans name? Get old Juan Montoya back as IndyCar champ. 8)

Also still remember Helio Castroneves being named "Castro Neves" in CART. Confused me, whether his name was Castro Neves or Castroneves. :P

First it was "Castro Neves", then it became "Castroneves". At some point it was "Castro-Neves" too. Guess the original spelling was too hazardous for PR since it made people think about COMMUNIST Cuba too much, lol.

The Show Must Go On started to play in my head. I hope the kid gets far. Like one certain Jacques did.

Double points is for the triple crown 500 mile races. Good idea actually.

No more ten place grid penalties for engine changes before the mandatory limit, instead the manufacturer will lose ten points from the manufacturer championhip. Definitely a good idea.
