I still think he did alright in St. Pete. Of course the race wasn't outstanding, but running the red tires for the first time surely was no help. I think we will witness a steady progress in performance. Don't know, maybe a top 10 in Long Beach and soon a top 5 - it's a very competitive field. Just wait when they race at Barber or Sonoma where he did some testing. 8)

As for Long Beach, really looking forward to it. Is quite a unique track with some famous corners. Didn't watch the last few races, but this will be a good one, I hope. :)

Lets face it, Long Beach isn't a great track for racing. Not since they switched turn one to a left from a right anyway.

Gonna need some serious derping and a lot of SC's to make the upcoming Indycar race watchable...

Well, there's always the obligatory hairpin clusterfuck. And it's always worth watching to see if someone finally ends up in the fountain.

True. Have low expectations and maybe we'll be surprised.

One thing though, how did Brabham still have all four wheels on his car? He tagged the wall with his left rear at least three times.
