[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

The reason why all these young kids on these threads think the racing was "great" and the greatest ever - they don't know any better. They never experienced the truly great racing of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Forty years of glorious evolution, innovation and intriguing state-of-the art racing. With all best racing car manufacturers, engine suppliers and the World's greatest drivers like Jimmy Clark and Nigel Mansell. F1 Champions. Now reduced to a farce of all identical spec cars with no name drivers. A 490-mile economy run with crashfest in the last 5-laps. Throw a dice to decide what Dallara spec car win! The ugliest open wheel racing car in auto racing history. The Glory Days will never be revisited.

[@lordasami]

Actually I was going to say that the car is no longer what qualifies, it is indeed the driver. How this makes the substitution more sensible though is beyond me.

[@MikeAdamson-so3lx]

​@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp While I agree with you that people are being dramatic saying this was the greatest 500. I completely disagree with you saying the 80s thru the 90s were great. Every year only a few cars finished on the lead lap and we had so many dominating runs Sneva 83 Mears 84 Michael 92 till the engine blew up penske 94. You may hate the spec cars but it produced without a doubt the best decade for racing which was the 2010's

Newgarden in the crowd is definitely a safe move overall. IndyCar doesn't typically generate the level of fan hate of drivers like F1 does. And the vast majority of people at the 500 are more so fans of the race / "spectacle" , not specific drivers.

[@hunterreeves6525]

Couldn’t have said it better. It’s such a massive event that most people there are casual fans and would rather be happy for Newgarden winning for the first time than focus on any controversy. Also a lot of the crowd problems we see in F1 seem to come from national pride which is much less of an issue with every Indycar race being in the US

Dixon is the best all time among active drivers, Newgarden is probably the best driver right now. Josef Newgarden worse case scenario is going to win 2 races a season and finish top 5 in the points.

"As long as Santino Ferrucci doesn't win, I'm happy" That's my Indy 500 feelings on a nutshell.

[@PapaVanTwee5]

You Ur-Oh_Peons should lighten up on Ferrucci. He has not once had a phone is his car, hit his teammate on purpose, or hurled racial epithets toward his teammate and family since coming back to the US. And since they allow him to race with a flag over the entire car, instead of just the side pods. Since they forced him to remove them over there and caused him to make the not so funny joke that maybe he should run a MAGA sticker there instead. Which makes me wonder, could the issue not have been Ferrucci, but the Trident team itself? They were the source of him saying horrible things to Maini, they also leaked that he wanted that MAGA sticker, a request that is usually kept between FIA and the team. Then I remember Maini's rant after a race that Trident weren't giving him enough support, and the pieces all come together. All that and the fact that Europeans hate Americans (queue Clarkson doing a bad US English accent here) and the fact that fans, most drivers, even Bobby fucking Rahal love the guy here, and you gotta ask, what's wrong with you, Europe?

The last restart was a little controversial but the people claiming it was all conspiracy are the dumbest motorsport fans. It definitely is the closest thing IndyCar has had to Abu Dhabi 2021 but IndyCar never wants the 500 to end under yellow. Last year's was red flagged when JJ hit the wall for a green-white-checkered. The last 1 to finish under yellow was 2020 when a car hit the attenuator at the pit entrance and there was no way in hell they'd get that cleaned up faster than a normal wreck.

[@DW98rosy]

somewhat proof that finishing 2nd in indy lights still doesn't make you ready for Indycar. though, tbf, some of his DNF's have been as results of being in shitty equipment (dale coyne should NOT have partnered with rick ware racing, this has only resulted in a really shitty second coyne car, and we don't talk about the third car that ran in 2021 for a few races which was effectively a spare car that just happened to have sponsoring). will agree though, he doesn't have a lot of talent, and probably should of have stayed in indy lights for another year or 2.

[@DW98rosy]

gonna say what i said after the race: this was the greatest finish to an oval race that should never be allowed to happen again. normally Indycar race control knows what there doing, but apparently they decided to celebrate memorial day early and throw all their brain cells out the window at the end of the race. the drivers weren't given enough time to warm the tires up for that 1-lap battle to the end. gutted for rosenqvist and canapino, who were my picks for race win and rookie of the year respectively, but then again, Indycar (especially the 500) is never predictable. still happy for newgarden, though, he's worked hard to try and win the 500 and he's finally achieved it.

Awesome review as an American F1 fan and slightly an Indy car fan I approve!

[@firnenfan]

The intro is just perfect! 😂

[@IndyBob160]

I love your take on the 500! and your comedy reviews! I've been going to this race off and on since 1964. This year was my 47th race I think. The ending was so Masi like, what a complete fucking... of Ganassi and Ericsson. If I was in the 8-car, Newgarden would not have passed me, I would have wrecked both of us. Fuck Penske!

[@Asiaguydude]

Santonio had the best livery by far

[@Nateschatz97]

The NFL music in the opening was perfection 😂

[@Mrwells4Q]

Bit late to watching this video but love seeing the Red Flag clip creeping into Indycar too haha

[@stampede122]

The F-16s of the 49th Fighter Wing comes from the Air Force Base near my hometown

[@Read023]

That intro blew off my ears! Thx for the consistent videos

[@theconduit21]

6:55 Nah, you did not just say that about the vibrating car. XD

[@FP1Will]

I just did

[@bentacc9217]

I like how people defend oval racing for open wheel cars and then bash it for stock cars

[@francomasuello]

You have the best motorsport channel on youtube mate. Thank you!

[@FP1Will]

Thanks mate!

[@chioj36]

F1 fan here now finally getting into Indy through this hilarious vid. Ty mate🎉

[@FP1Will]

Enjoy!

[@notvan0ss833]

First time viewer and what a video it was loved every second of it. You are very witty.

[@FP1Will]

Thanks dude!

[@mvd4436]

Willard. You should put more mistakes in the video on purpose. It drives up the comments. Because all the wise guys want to correct it. And then it drives up the popularity of the video

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

Exactly. If you want an answer on a forum, post a wrong answer on another account and then everyone will correct you with the right one! And they don't even know you got what you wanted ☺️

[@Vyse1984]

You had me at the NFL on Fox theme. 😂

[@aaronboskovich4064]

As an avid 500 fan I found this vid mostly above mediocrity in terms of amusement. It was fantastic. Potentially a sub in the future. INDY!!

[@cba_2442]

Good race, was cheering on the 14 to win for AJ. 3rd still good though.

[@invader_lmm8337]

2:40 I did he was me favorite driver

[@laurenmp7486]

Great video! And I'm just wondering how F1 fans felt seeing all that weaving at the end of the race. As for the race itself, it's Indy, so it's always a bit of "this is going by quick....never mind" at work. As for the finish, given the rules in place, well that's that. Also honestly given the speed of the pace laps, it's not like they really warm the tires enough to matter. An extra lap to set up, is kind of a waste anyways in Indy cars. Also for those not familiar with the race and all the practice sessions, they used to get the entire month of May so it was two weeks of practice before qualifying started, which was 2 weeks before the race, and the weekend before the race. but not the days in between the weekends, that was just practice.

[@8ofthe7deadlysins]

Roger Penske also owns the series to add an other layer to the controversy. Surprised you did not cover: 1) Pato's interview 2) How messed the field was on the last restart, passes under yellow 3) TK pass in the grass 4) Newgarden's crappy restart the second to last time I will say it is interesting hearing what foreigners think of the prerace and the racing in general after going for so many years

[@niftyfiftytwo1484]

My guy, I'm not from Australia or New Zealand, but even I know you're gonna get some hellfire for 6:50 lol

[@mattBLACKpunk]

Being unpatriotic is super based, n1

[@rexthewolf3149]

Cringe.

[@benjaminthomson]

SCOTT DIXON IS FROM NEW ZEALAND!!! CALLING US AUSTRALIAN IS THE BIGGEST INSULT POSSIBLE

[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

Calling us Americans is worse!

[@NikDonalds]

i love these comedy reviews buddy

[@Tixio_T]

2:35 Bruh I was like the biggest RHR fan when he was full time and i was so happy when he finished almost top 10 😭

[@juhosten3463]

Eriksson has had luck on his side so many times after being nowhere in the races that it´s more than his time to siffer with those a little

[@jaimielist7405]

Newgardens swerve into the pitman then out again will never not make me flinch

[@T_Mo271]

I'm not sure using the pit entrance as part of the racetrack is really a good idea.

[@Zelda_91]

my 500 happy vibes basically went after Monday after Wilson's Crash cause after that i did not care how won anymore....but at least for me also Jack Harvey finished so i guess it was not a bad 500 after all.

[@don7680]

Tethers have been on the cars a long time. Very unusual to have one shear. Yes, they practice a lot. It's a bit different driving at an average speeds of 220+ for 500 miles, and needs to be practiced. The Indy 500 is easily the best race on earth. They did not break any rules at the finish of the race.
