A lot of it is him. He gets too greedy and pushes too hard when he doesn’t need to. Indy 500 his fault. Detroit his fault. Many other times in his career where he crashed when he could have had a podium or even a win. I like Colton, and think he’s a great driver but he needs to learn to keep his composure, and stop making dumb mistakes that cost him dearly.

I'm not sure if you understand the full gravity of what happened there, because Grosjean almost lost his life there. This is Indycar, overtakes are generally rougher than in other series, and getting so worked up over an incident that you wish someone to die or have a near death experience again is straight up ridiculous. At that point, you're like those Argentinian Canapino fans who send death threats to whoever doesn't let Canapino past by jumping out of the way. At the end of the day, it's a sport. We watch it for entertainment and root for athletes we like. These athletes are humans too, humans with a family. Neither Grosjean nor his wife nor his kids nor other close ones liked seeing Grosjean almost burn alive, let alone would want to see it happen a second time, just because he had an incident.

[@andyhamilton8940]

Charlie Brown passes Linus!

[@JaymesEaston]

Newgarden should have been penalized. Play it back at half-speed and decide for yourself. He was pulling away Power and Rossi. He can claim there was an opening on the outside between Scottymac and Herta, but he was straight ahead. Even at half-speed the closing rate was incredible. If that is the excuse for giving him a pass, that he was already on the gas, it is really weak. Hench and Bell chickened out on calling it since it doesn't fit into the narrative of repairing his reputation. Quietly implicit is the notion that Josef is so good he wouldn't make that mistake. What I would like to see is the stewards pulling the telemetry as part of the decision process.
