Thank you for these Fast Fowards, IndyCar! They are absolutely perfect, and should really be the standard for racing disciplines. This is gonna be an AMAZING season - what a way to kick things off!

[@freddiecostanzo2811]

28 year old Brit here who has watched F1 since the age of 5/6. A few years ago I started giving Indycar a chance and tried to follow it as much as I could. Well, let's just say I'm extremely happy that I did... almost at a stage where I look forward to Indycar more than F1 now!

[@hernan636]

You're crazy

[@georgecam222]

yeaaaaa. no chance Indy car is better. Indy car is like the WNBA lol

[@strebrr]

Exactly the same for me. 30 years old now, I'm watching my 5th Indycar season. Watched at least 20 years F1 before. Indycar is way more interesting if you want to see good old-school racing like F1 was 10 years ago. F1 got better again since last year, but I still prefer Indycar.

Watched the full race, but came here to say, this was epic to watch

[@buckfaststradler4629]

@BlowoutJoe Motor racing is still [ slightly] dangerous - don't watch it if you have a problem with that.

[@alexl9]

@BlowoutJoe i was not talking about the crashes, they added to the entertainment, but it was not ridiculous, like Nashville a couple of years back. Actually, the crash I felt most gutted about was the Grosjean McLaughlin, such a shame when the battle for the lead ends like that. The racing was extremely good, but it was mostly a mental battle, not a pure skill one. You had to stay focused, don't push to much when there was nothing to gain and choose how to position your car to avoid all the chaos.

[@buckfaststradler4629]

@BlowoutJoe Agree about the bad track - all these US city street tracks are terrible . Just like Monaco in F1.

[@QuinnBoone]

​@BlowoutJoe evidently your not a red blooded American, if you were, you'd like a good crash. Drivers know the risk, and I'm of the opinion that it's the uneducated fans that aren't used to the idea of risk. But I digress. We do live in the woke/ me first generation after all.....

[@gingadom1]

Indy car won this weekend. F1 was about one driver getting third, NASCAR was a yawn fest. Indy produced drama, tactics, teams giving it their all and of course fearless driving that comes from safe cars and brave drivers. I’m so glad I watched all the seasons from Mansell onward through lockdown. Thank you for putting them up on KZbin. As a - British - racing fan, all the drivers and teams have my absolute respect. Olé…

[@TheYBGOON]

Didn’t know they were competing against each other? So ex f1 drivers only became fearless when they entered Indy car? And McLaren Indy car team gives it their all more than McLaren f1 team?

Definitely not. Indycar driving standard need to be higher and not be crashing into each other like in Nascar.

[@Zek106]

You can't compare Indycar to F1 in terms of racing because Indycar teams don't make their own cars and engines. The reason why F1 is better and more popular because there is also a development race between teams besides the actual racing.

[@QuinnBoone]

Grosjean will win a race this season! I'm fairly sure anyhow, if he can keep it clean....

[@stonekar]

related to the collision starting 19:58 : sloppy move by Mclaughlin (at best). at worst it looks like he puts in some left steering angle right at the end when Grosjean is alongside. He knew he couldn't make that corner on cold tires. wasn't a fan of how that ended.

[@nickb2049]

the left steering was because the rear end was sliding and he was trying to save it. A basic understanding of racing would tell you that

[@huepix]

These races are so exciting. Exposes the dullness of F1 despite 97 trillion dollars being spent (allowing for slight exaggeration) and the F1 hypocrisy of proclaiming its support of human rights while taking money from saudi arabia. 🙄 Not to mention these excellent highlight packages that, again, make make F1 look amateurish. Mind you, does F1 have highlights? The start maybe? lols

@@blowoutjoe5409 lol what are you even talking about! Scott was on the inside and by definition NOT on the racing line. Romain was alongside in the braking zone and was clearly entitled to fair racing room on the outside. Scott fumbled the turn and crashed both of them out. There's no two ways about it.

[@braidenhebbard6120]

​@BlowoutJoe that is absolutely the worst take I've ever seen, you have no clue what your on about

[@elemkay5104]

@@blowoutjoe5409 Mate, the racing line is not the inside line - it is whichever part of the track the cars use when they're on their own to race on, which has all the rubber laid down underneath. In this case, the racing line is the outside, and Scotty was on the dirty part of the track, off the racing line. You meant to say he had the inside line. But that doesn't mean it was automatically his corner. If he's side by side with another driver on the outside, which he was, he has a responsibility to slow down enough to maintain control of the car, make the corner and not tank into the car on the outside. In his post-race interview, he accepted the blame, because he was on cold tyres and on the dirty side of the track, and he tried to out-brake Grosjean on hot tyres on the clean part of the track, carried too much speed, locked his rear tyres and went straight into him.

[@scorpius6667]

Mclaughlin ruined what was shaping up to be a great race! If Indycar doesn't fine and suspend Mclaughlin for dangerous driving, Indy racing isn't worth watching! That was Max Verstappen style racing, if you are getting past and going to lose, wreck the other driver! It's why I stopped watching F1!👎👎👎👎 my opinion without prejudice 🦂

[@elemkay5104]

If you rewatch, you see he locks the rear tyres and loses control of the car going into the corner. It was reckless in the heat of the moment but not dangerous or dirty. Mclaughlin accepted the blame, and apologized to Grosjean for taking him out. They're mates off the track.

you looked at that and thought it was grosjean's fault????

[@J4FTobinator]

@@Glizzyyyy420 Dude, McLaughlin was perfectly at the apex even after the hit. It was clearly Grosjean who turned into Scotties car too early. There is no way around in this corner with all the marbles and he didn´t learn a bit. I really respect Grosjean for his racing spirit. He is a pure racer but he lacks some decision making abilities. With his warm tires he could have gotten Scotty Mc in the next couple corners easily. We really need a cam from Scotty facing straight forward, I believe he was perfectly in line.
