Planned to watch later but found out who won. Absolutely gutted.

My two cents about GWC is that if IndyCar would have GWC, we might have to witness some of the most wicked crashes when we want to see staged three-wide finishes. For me the IndyCar (or F1) GWC would be like neutralizing the whole race and give it a random knife fight ending with the survival of the strongest.

not sure why he's getting his knickers in a twist over the article, it's not like she really slagged him off.

I pitted during the caution period and as I rejoined the track, immediately came the second big contentious moment of my race. Cars coming out of the pits were ignoring the blend line at pit exit, and just trying to accelerate up to whereever they wanted to be in the pack! There was mass confusion, and I asked several times for clarification from race control as to where I was meant to line up. I got the answer and moved into line; however I don't know whether race control didn't tell Graham Rahal and James Jakes this information, or whether they ignored it. I do know that coming down the back straight, under yellow, there was some extremely aggressive passing going in the pack, and assuming that the perpetrators would get penalized for their actions I was furious, but I elected to drop a couple of places back from where I should have restarted to avoid getting into something stupid under yellow. Inside my helmet, I was fuming.

After the restart I started picking off cars one at a time again, and I quickly caught up to Graham, who was meant to have restarted behind me. I watched his line through Turn Four, and knew there was a hole where I could get clean air the next lap. I timed my lift through Three, aimed my car at the clean air down low on the inside in Four, but that time Graham kept coming down in front of me, and I was about a half-car length too close given his different line. As my car took off up the track, Graham was releasing his car out of the corner in front of me. No clean air. No clean air. No clean air. Smack. I whacked the wall with my right-side tires. I'm sure you can imagine the fine stream of choice language that was escaping me at the time.

I drove the car down into Turn One, and caught a big snap, drove it through Two with no issue, and wondered whether it was just paranoia, or whether I had knocked it hard enough to bend something. Another big snap and catch in Turn Three unfortunately confirmed that my day was done, and I headed back down to pit lane.

What did Pippa actually say?

Knowing Rahal, I'd say Pippa is more Mann that Graham ever will be.
