a championship drive for Palou. Thanks for the Extended again ❤

[@subarubrat]

Great racing! Big congrats to Alex and Ganassi on the championship! Well deserved.👍

[@StarkRaven59]

Feels like the racing stewards went hands-off for this race.

[@calussy8040]

Sometimes that makes it more exciting, only punishing those that really deserve it.

Congratulations to Alex Palou as the race and series winner. Nice consistent back half of the season from my man Scott Dixon.

[@hw4527]

Thank you for posting ❤❤

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

What a drive from Felix to finish 2nd, finally he gets some luck this season

[@MrSlartybartfast42]

Palou should have had a penalty for that double block on spiderman!

[@kaio37k]

Maybe deserved a review, but if you watch from the top angle, it was not as egregious as the onboard looked. He was on the racing line with the rear stepping out, continued along the racing line into the light right (as did Castroneves, who has more speed), made his first move off the racing line to block right (which is legal), but when he moves back to the left to take the corner better, he was clear of Castroneves, and they were both braking, so no block. Very close, but clean imo.

[@carlosangui7490]

negative, castroneves had space at left

[@the_elmeister]

Just think about this, his average finish for the season is 3.7. Incredible what this young man has accomplish. Amazing talent. He deserves the title because he is consistent. NASCAR they need to start taking notes on point systems and going back to the Winston Cup ways or go back to systems that are similar to IndyCar without bullshit and without playoffs.

Apologies for the late post. WOW!!! That was a crazy penultimate race for INDYCAR 2023!!! Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 to Alex Palou, repeat champion!!! Scott Dixon came OH SO CLOSE to winning his seventh title, but 2024 will be here soon enough. Now the final race for 2023, Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, my dad’s old Army station at Fort Ord. 🏁🏁🏁

Amstrong's rear back wheel got it off like Nigel Mansell's Williams in Estoril 1991. What a coincidence! 😮😮😮😮 Many cogratulations to Alex Palou for his 2nd Indycar Title after 2021 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Few months since Formula e, now it's Indycar as congrats Alex Palou, 2x Indycar champion

[@davidius74]

Double block for Palou and not reviewed! Not the first time the stewards have decided to review one thing and not something else. They need consistency. Wouldn't have changed the outcome of the championship but still need to review what is a blatant breach of the racing rules. Even coming out after his last stop he was weaving slightly to stop Rahal going past even though Graham didn't change his line once. I know that one didn't need review as it isn't blocking if the trailing car doesn't move but it he has been doing it all season and never once been reviewed. Alex has driven well all season and deserved winner but if the stewards actually reviewed these blocking situations, then the championship would probably be a lot closer and come down to Laguna Seca.

[@kimjong-oink6217]

It wasn't as obvious as Kirkwood's (what could be lol) but that was one of those marginal Verstappen-esque moves that kinda blurs the line between blocking and defending hard. I think Palou gets the benefit here because it's not really a straight per se, and if you watch from 16:29 in slow motion it looks a lot more tame than it does at full speed. fwiw, I thought it was a penalty at first too, but watching it back I don't think it's clear enough to call.

[@carlosangui7490]

Castroneves had space at left, "ALMOST a double block", didn't you heard the comentator?

Amazing race. This should be seen by all motorsports fans. What does the KZbin algorithm have against IndyCar. The view count on this is really sad.

I enjoy IndyCar series more than f1 nowadays.... close racing n unpredictable in IndyCar...the f1 is so predictable n boring ... great for American racing series.... From : Malaysia ....

When will indycar come out with a video game?

[@MadMaxBLD]

They were in talks with two studios that are in the sim-racing genre but both fell through and there is likely no game coming for a while.

[@ninthundertow]

I liked Grosjean since he drove for Lotus but he can be sooooo frustrating...

[@JLvatron]

He can, but this race it wasn't his fault. The cars in front of him collided and dusted out the view.

Something doesnt smell right , 2 road races where Ganassii cars get milage no one else gets. Palou blocked big time

[@carlosangui7490]

not so big, there was space at left for castroneves

[@rodrigofonseca1160]

Why are people obsessed with conspiracy these days? A tiny lower drag configuration saves a lot of fuel without sacrificing speed (sacrifices corner grip, but they maximized it). A very simple explanation does it, yet people want the "something doesn't smell right explanation" first and foremost

[@mikewells1407]

@@rodrigofonseca1160 your trying to convince us that a higher wing configuration gave the 2 CGR cars 10 more laps at race pace ? Sure that's how they did it, took a little wing out of it, lol 😂 They actually passed some cars to catch the leader before he pitted. Let me guess, drafting saved fuel. Happens all the time, wing configuration lol on a road course lol
