Enjoyed it, great winner. 8/10.

I'm happy about this even if the finish was quite lame with fuel mileage.

10/10 race, -2 points for the spread out, fuel milage strategy finish which doesn't feel epic enough for the 100th running of this race

Great call, strategy and performance by Rossi though, taking nothing away from him, Herta and the team. Just the way it was.

8/10 for me. Fuel mileage finishes aren't my favorite but a rookie winner does a lot to make it enjoyable.

8 - I enjoy classic wheel to wheel and drafting and so but I also love the drama with mileage and so, and that one delivered

Indy is always like this. It's such an emotional roller coaster, no matter what happened. This one had it all, really. Tough racing, unexpected events, a winner coming out of nowhere. Only bummer that there were so many incidents midway that broke the rhythm of the race.

But still, a good Indy is a great Indy. 10!

Great race, great fuel saving by Rossi to get the win. Rookie winner.

When Indy is good, it is great. The racing was fantastic, and I don't think anyone could have seen that winner coming. There's a reason Indianapolis is the greatest race in the world. 10/10.

im honestly torn on this, some good action, great finish and happy for that team but also, at the same time, we were robbed of good fight between Bell, RHR, Castroneves and possibly Newgarden close to the end, both because of incidents and fuel mileage games. 8/10 for me.

I loved this race. I hated this race. I loved this race. I hated this race.

7/10. It's just that... there was amazing racing between the favorites but they were taken out of contention by stupid mistakes, ill-positioned cautions or just slowly drifting away from the top somehow?? I love me a surprise rookie win but on a scale of 10 where 10 is a race to the lead between the top guys until the finish, this ranks a 7.
