[@michaelhenderson3309]

One of the better Indy 500s in the last ten years. Great so see the cars spread out and catch lap traffic but Id like to see the leader be able to drive away a bit more. Draft is still too strong, making all the lead changes and changes for position mean very little and honestly not particularly exciting or interesting. Haven't missed a 500 live since 2007 and I've watched every 500 since the 50s that was televised at some point. As long as the 500 exists May will always be my favorite time of year

[@gagemcpherson4454]

Most of the lead changes in the race were green flag pitstops the draft really only came in to affect the last 13 laps if you don't like this type of finish your crazy this was awesome blows Monaco and the Coke 600 out of the water every year

I am by no means an expert of the rules but isn't it forbidden to make more than 1 defensive move? Pagenaud made 2 and it looked like Rossi was close enough to make the pass without all the tow breaking. I mean Simon ran great all month and he would have deserved 100% to win this race but to make a move like this on the last lap of an Indy 500 is unfair and disgusting imo. Especially because he probably wouldn't have won without it. Edit: amazing race though, so exciting last laps.

[@flyingdutchman916]

he would have still won, rossi admitted it in the post race interview. they asked if he wished they could go another 10 laps and he said "no, the outcome would be the same. he just had more power." and hey, its the last lap of the 500, any driver in the lead would do the same. they would rather die than just hand it over.

[@recarsion]

@@flyingdutchman916 Rossi was right there next to Pagenaud before t3 even with the tow breaking, I think he probably would have made the pass. But true, it would be very hard for any driver to just give it up. It was still an amazing finish to an amazing race

[@flyingdutchman916]

sudoaptpurge if he waited till the checkered flag to do the pass he did with 2 to go he could have gotten it, I agree there. And yes, easily one of the most intense last 13 laps of any 500 I’ve ever seen!

The 2019 cars do NOT like turn 2

[@rexstetson1717]

Great race yesterday, but really disappointed by the poor sportsmanship of a few of the drivers. I thought Rossi’s tantrum when his fuel rig wouldn’t connect was disrespectful to his crew. Even though the wreck was 100% Sebastian Bourdais’s fault, Graham Rahal showed what a punk he is by gesticulating wildly at Bourdais before he even knew whether Bourdais had been hurt or not in the crash. And Will Power once again showed that he is the biggest crybaby in the sport when called race control a disgrace. Typically Indycar drivers are pure class. Not yesterday. Happy to see a gentleman like Pagenaud win.

[@ShmuelWeintraub]

I was disappointed with the antics of several drivers yesterday too. I don't agree that the Rahal/Bourdais accident was all on SB... Rahal barely got his front wheel level with Bourdais' rear wheel. Not sure what the spotters were telling either of them, but that move was never on. SB took his normal line because he had no idea Rahal had made that idiotic late move... somebody on the roof somewhere should have been on the radio to him to tell him (assuming it wasn't already too late). Even when the driver trailing is an American and the guy in front is not, it's still the overtaking driver's responsibility to make sure the move is done safely. That move was never on.

[@cnelsonlv999]

Yea... agree with you! As an American, it is kind of embarrassing that the American drivers (Rahal, Rossi) come across as spoiled brats! Wish they would learn how to act with the kind of class you see from guys like Pagenaud... whether he wins or loses.

[@daveinindy]

... well then, just be glad that you never heard some of AJ's tirades (at his crew, at fellow drivers, at race officials, etc.). I'm willing to cut the drivers some slack when they are in the heat of the moment. As it turned out, the race officials got most/all of their calls right. I certainly agree that it's refreshing to see a gentleman like Pagenaud win - but I also think Power behaves as a gentleman (team radio chatter? they should be able to vent a bit). Even Graham Rahal seemed to temper his tantrum a bit when he arrived at Bourdais' car - making sure he was OK and tapping his helmet gently; although the theatrics to the crowd before and after? bush league.
