That's some evil looking sky there... I'm sure some of it was due to the camera's settings, but that's still pretty ominous. |

Sato needs to be doubly benched. |

the top 3's thoughts on the track "Pocono gets a bad rap for incidents that can happen anywhere" - Dixie "Our cars suit this track" - Power "I love racing here & the other superspeedways" - Pags - the only problem I got with Pocono is how the fencing is in turn 2, and some of the open top walls down the back shoots, especially where they got the road course K-rails storage. When discounting those things + the need of a proper spotters stand for the back end, the track is relatively fine on it's own. the rest of the problem is the insane bunching on the starts & the small amount of practice here (and yesterday was more than normal in race trim) |

Man i've always been a fan of Sato, but that was a DIPSHIT fucking move... BTW, what in the hell was up with the safety team taking well over 2 minutes to get to Rosenqvist? Commentators were trying to play it off that they must've had radio comms but we both know the safety team didn't go "He radioed in that he's fine, let him sit." There was an obvious derp somewhere somehow that luckily wasn't worse. |

Pretty alarming how it took so long for anyone to get to Felix. At least one person just checking on him right away would've been better. It's interesting seeing the Tunnel Turn being the cause of so many issues for Indycar when it's modeled after the corners at Indianapolis. |

Pocono is a great track, too bad that when is not the bad weather are the crashes that ruin the races there |

Both moved, but Rossi got scared of Hunter-reay and made a very sudden and strong move left*. Sato was on the racing line more than those two. And would have been clear of Rossi before getting into the turn and if they weren't 3 wide. *Edit: Correction - Right |

Sato posted on Twitter some more, this time uploading the telemetry onboard - meanwhile (also of note: couldn't of been Taku with Lloyd in that race as Taku was out after crashing by himself on lap #1) |

The high risks and small margin of error of motorsport and the mob-must-have-its-scapegoat mentality of social media are really not a good combo. |

If Pocono doesn't come back, at least replace it with Cleveland |
