On Board | Fernando Alonso 2017 Indianapolis 500 Starting Laps

[@zardinho]

He's simply quits Monaco GP to drive Indycar for 500 miles and almost nailed it! Fernando is a beast and is now getting podiuns at age 42, quite old for an F1 driver.

[@idk321]

Wrong, he is still a rookie.

[@talbotd27]

Yooo this is crazy. As a new F1 fan and a guy who used to go to the Indy 500 every year, it’s wild to think that I probably saw multiple F1 legends race for 500 laps when I was younger and never knew who they were

[@joegillett2845]

It's 200 laps, the 500 comes from how many miles it is

[@kepler240]

Looks easy on tv, but 200 laps must be brutal

[@armands3153]

Never has to me. Any motorsport.

[@motorsportfan1246]

Yea I’m sure the 50+ guys who have died at Indy thought it looked easy too.

[@The_ZeroLine]

Not to mention open wheel oval is basically the only remaining auto racing category when drivers regularly die. So, add insanely dangerous to the checklist too. Anyone who has raced knows the camera captures basically none of the speed.

[@AM-tu1rc]

IndyCar does not have power steering as well. Drivers have to physically turn the wheel.

[@danielrivera2105]

@@mabra33 Ah yes I guess you conveniently forgot that these cars go over 220mph in extremely close proximity, as well as the fact that over 60% of the IndyCar schedule is made up of road/street courses.

That's why there are tons of different racing classes. If you do not enjoy one, don't watch it, it's that simple.

[@rulnacco]

@@mabra33 Actually, 800 times. The race is 500 miles, but the IMS track is 2.5 miles long. So the race is 200 laps, not 500.

[@entrosinllamar8697]

Aprovecha hasta el último centímetro el límite de cada giro. Cada vez que traza una curva acorta metros al trazado a la vez que ahorra combustible. Grande Alonso, lástima que el motor no aguantó hasta el final, hubiera tenido muchas opciones de ganar ese día

[@rowds]

[@xtlm]

Watching this really makes me miss and how I also unappreciated being able to watch the drivers in the cars. They are fighting that wheel hard and you can't see that these days easily due to the screen

[@Dragon83GT]

He was?

[@sjajsrifleror4364]

@@Dragon83GT yeah up until his engine failes

[@fcke8820]

I remember watching this race, the the first indy I'd seen (was really good, I'd recommend to any race fan) and yes he was really good, you could tell he was new to ovals though. Just like in this clip, after every green flag restart he seemed to lose at least 2 places. But I guess that's just experience and timing on ovals. Had the pace to win though.

[@javiersanchez384]

Are u serious? Anyone is going to win a 3h race in the start...

[@bobespirit2112]

@@javiersanchez384 Exactly, he was being smart. It means nothing to be safe and give up a few places at the start. If you do the right things with your setups and adjustments over the 3+ hours, as he did, making up those places is a given. It’s being in the top 3 or 4 with ten laps to go with the best adjusted car that matters. He was running 7th on lap 179 and moving forward like Sato, just not as quickly, when his engine failed.

[@rchydrozz751]

Imagine turning the wheel at 220+ mph.

[@chuckl.s121]

With no power steering too

[@taek_00]

Seems like he uses deeper line than other drivers

[@nbain66]

His experience with dirty air in F1 means he always tries to get further inside than the driver in front, it gets clean air on the front wing and gives more grip despite being tighter. A lot of other F1 drivers don't do this, but I've always noticed that he does

[@FrankTichenor-g3l]
