So no streaming? Do they even film the sessions?


Because NBC Sports got all bitchy about part of the contract, there's no streaming online.

Rubens had an oil leak, which explains his lack of running.

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.

I'm pretty sorry about the Lotus drivers. They're all pretty good, and if they had another engine they'd be mega competitive, but right now I think they'll be having a hard time finishing races. Maybe I'm just doom and gloom, and Lotus will get better as the year goes by...riiight..

Massive credit to Simona for dragging that shitbox Judd engine to within a second of the fastest.

They just need to be reliable. When IndyCar makes adjustments in june for competitive purposes, they will surely get a higher boost than the rest to allow them to at least fight with the other teams. I even heard they could do something for Indy.

Has to change his engine and will drop 10 spots on the grid as a result. Pretty harsh to be honest.

Will is only a couple of tenths away from his pole time in 2010. They expect pole to be faster.

My local ABC station (Buffalo) isn't showing the St Pete race IN ANY WAY. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Couldn't watch the Sebring 12 Hours live now no Indycar - I was able to watch more American racing when I lived in the UK, lol.

Rodin Younessi likely wont be allowed to start the Indy Lights race. He was 9 seconds off pace in practice and could barely control his car at that speed.

nope, ABC doesn't show qualifying and NBC Sports can't in the ABC races, except for Indy. RB was hoping to be able to stream those sessions, but I haven't heard anything else about it.
