I have to complain about the graphics again.
Let's display the gear the driver is in and whether they step on the gas or the brake and how much they do that. Cool!
So why don't we display the gear (you know, the thing that's either 5 or 6... sometimes 4, but really mostly either 5 or 6. And certainly nothing in between the two) by a nearly analog slider across the whole graphic panel that could display all the fine nounces between the number, THAT CAN'T BE SELECTED?!?
Oh, and for the throttle and brake pedals, which are very much analog and every nano meter you press them can make a huge difference... lets just put 5 big colored lights there. Gosh...



The more I look at it, the more stupid it gets. RPM value changes constantly, which is least informative value. Speed goes from 221 to 219 then to 221 then to 220 and then to 219 again in a corner. How is that helpful?!

Then that fucking gear chart. It actually moves like a volume bar between gears! And it moves slower than what it actually takes!

Then those Throttle and Brake blip blop lights. You could get three green lights, one grey and one red. What the hell is that supposed to be! Driver is like 60% on throttle and 20% brake and 20% goes for "the fuck would we know"?

All this makes absolutely no sense when driver is one light green, three grey and one on red while doing 222mph and revs are changing back and forth. There's absolutely no information value! Makes F1 overtaking change % chart look smart.

RC Enerson and Top Gun needed a while to convert the car from the spec they used for ROP to real practice setup and didn't manage to complete that before happy hour. They then decided it's better to take their time and call it a day rather than throwing the car into dense traffic.

Watching it on mute during a conference call. WTF was that? Why did everyone check up like that on corner exit?

A team doing a photo op like Penske did yesterday. Simona and Scotty were warned but Herta wasn't.

I think Penske were trying to do another photo spot. Colton very lucky not to go flying.

EDIT: Ah, it was Rahal this time.

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 if he's still in the dark about what was going on, it's hard to blame him. Someone dropped the ball but it wasn't him.

Kinda ridiculous that teams are apparently wanting to use an active track for this shit though. I know odds are slim that something bad could happen but there's really no reason to risk it, especially when they could probably petition IndyCar to let them do that sort of thing before/after the track is green for official practice.

I think the difference is that people had prior warning when Penske did it but Rahal didn't let officials know they were gonna do it.
