It is quite reassuring that drivers who were around before I started watching are still winning things. Important things. |

Man, some of those fans- kids and adults alike- are giving Spiderman a run for his money up on the fence! Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk |

I agree with Diffey, thank GOD this didn't happen last year. A fence-climbing in front of an empty silent grandstand would've been as gutwrenching as Gasly winning Monza with no tifosi. |

Helio Spiderman climbing the catch fence was the perfect winner for today. Great atmosphere right there! |

Neither would have been as special of a moment without the fans. A fence-climbing in front of an empty silent grandstand would've been as gutwrenching as Gasly winning Monza with no tifosi.

Watching the finish again, I didn't even realise that Pagenaud took 3rd down the backstraight and nearly had Palou at the line. Another lap or two and he might have won. |

Yeah, Pagenaud's race typically suffered from a far starting grid position. It took a lot of time for him to get back in the fight. I used to think that the grid doesn't matter a lot, but this is a textbook case of it mattering, especially in a field this close where passing took a real dedicated effort. |

That.was.awesome!!!! Just what Indycar needed, and Helio helped massively with telling that story |

Just proves you don't need a million lead changes to have a classic. Thoroughly enjoyed that race with all the different strategies making it very interesting. Mix that in with some good racing and adding another member to one of the most exclusive clubs there is was just icing on the cake. |

Good race as always. Very impressive e win from Castroneves. He's always in the mix, he could have easily had 6 wins already |

Amazing how this race never disappoints. I still can't believe Daly and ECR took a gamble after hitting that tire so hard. And it's even more amazing that the front wing lasted the remaining race. I'm seriously thinking to get there for 2023 race. |
