Ferrucci is the mazepin of indycar

[@noggin6870]

F2 era Mazepin is actually an incredibly accurate comparison.

[@happygster922]

It's absurd that Ferrucci wasn't penalized for that move. Some bumping is fair enough, but you can't just run someone off the track when they are ahead of you and on your outside at the apex.

Generally, you actually sorta can. Car on the inside generally owns the corner. Grosjean probably should have backed out. Not saying this is respectable racing, but this happens a lot at every level of Motorsport.

[@happygster922]

@@henryh.489 Not in this case. If Grosjean was barely alongside, sure. But he was ahead. And even then, the only reason Grosjean wasn't further ahead was because he just didn't bother braking where he needed to.

[@bbtodd]

That kind of thing is always hit or miss with the stewards. But you full well know that Ferucci intended to run him onto the grass so I think a penalty was deserved. I noticed that a couple laps later Grosjean was well ahead of him and then he DNF'd anyway. Meanwhile Grosjean gained about twelve places in the race so he gets the last laugh.

Does anybody ACTUALLY like Santino Ferrucci? He might be the first driver I've seen where everyone universally hates him,and its 1000% justified.

[@TougeSolo]

I think he's good for the sport. Indy needs a little attitude so they don't become crybaby f1 drivers.

[@DrSamwpepper]

For new fans wanting context,he had a lot of controversies in F2, including racism towards his teammate and not apologizing,running into his teammate the cooldown lap,deliberately wrecking Josh Berry in NASCAR,and multiple times tried to run a MAGA scheme,but both the FIA and IndyCar told him "no,keep your political endoremsnts out of our sport" and the dude got big mad. He then today deliberately ran Grosjean off track,and said "oh you can hit people in these cars,it's safer than in f1🤓☝️"

Indycar has had 4 different winners in its 4 point races - Oward won at St Pete, Dixon won at Long Beach, McLaughlin won at Alabama and Palou won this race. 4 different winners in 4 races. Guess how far back you have to go to find 4 different winners in F1? 25 races. Perez won last year at Azerbaijan in race 4. Max won all but 1 of the remaining 18 races in 2022. Indycar is easily more competitive and it is not even close.

[@eamonnmckeown6770]

Crazy that Palou is a two time champion and only now got his 10th win. The contrast with F1 having a champion win 19 of 22 last year is stark. How can you enjoy a series where basically only one guy wins almost all the races? That's not the F1 I grew up watching. Even Norris' maiden win seemed underwhelming.

[@syrdax]

Schumacher, Vettel, Hamilton... they all dominated for a few years. I'm with you, but I still enjoy it. The problem with Max is that even when Lewis dominated at least he had Rosberg to fight him, not so much Botas. Max just... nobody can fight him. I do believe Max is special, but clearly there's no competition for him even on his own team.

Nah, I think you're hearing it wrong. Drama is a good thing and a really good thing if two drivers start having an issue with each other and the cameras and commentators fuel that. It's good TV and makes things more interesting. Of course they also want rules to be enforced but aggro, to me is a good thing as long as the drivers aren't overly stupid.

First three laps of this race already produced more passing than half a season of F1. The best thing about F1 is the ridiculous amount of sponsorship drivers have to bring to the table to even be considered for a ride. The result?

Aerodynamics

[@StruggleGaming]

Spec series vs Development Series. When the cars are relatively even, the differences are small between driver skill. F1 can have periods of dominance with good cars and good drivers.

[@nekaa7657]

If indy is so much better why won't you guys talk about its good points instead of talking about F1? I'm not saying F1 is better I'm saying I'm sick of you guys who won't talk about the actual race we're watching If this is a genuine question about why F1 races tend to be a bit more boring most of the time it's because the cars may look similar but are very different in performance. F1 has much more downforce meaning much more aero wash, so drivers can't follow close enough behind for constant action. It leads to many spots on track that SHOULD be overtaking spots, spots where the trailing driver can close the gap a bit. The drivers have to make specific setups for their pass to get around the massive aero wash, and it doesn't help the FIA has no clue how to prevent it

[@jtp2007]
