KV lost it on strategy. They where easy faster/just as fast as Power. Dammit.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Well it's a staggered tyre barrier, so it was always going to do very little damage. Just got a bit lucky really.

KV lost this on strategy, but Andretti *really* lost it. He's now 15th, and still dropping.

Still.. good race, the last few laps were a bit anit-climatic mind..

Bleh, that was an anti-climax. Such an unnecessary gamble from KV too, they had speed and position. If they'd just pitted with everyone else they'd have had it easy.

Anyone else hate how the victory lane celebrations are stage managed now in order to get them all on the TV broadcast.

Hate it how drivers are told to stay in the car & are given all these instructions & only able to get out when the TV crew is ready for the interview.


At Long Beach for instance Conway was sitting in the car for ages waiting for the TV crew to get there for the interview, By which point much of the emotion was lost.

To be fair to KV and Andretti, although it was a stupid gamble, you would have expected there to be at least 1 more caution given the first few laps of the race. But there we are, that's racing

It's frustrating that after all that, we end up with the same old guy dominating. But I'm glad Taku has shown he's better than his performances last year. Still a quality driver
