Hildebrand slapped the wall.

How the heck did that happen? It looks like he hit the part of the straightaway that's angled away from the track for the outside access gate.

Alonso going with a pretty cool retro design on his helmet for the 500.



Ive always really liked the simpler bold designs, especially when they are carried over for whole careers with subtle tweaks that fans can recognize. You always know what car Bourdais is in, for example.

Same reason I've always liked the fact that Marco still sticks to variants on the same silver / red / flag themes that Michael and Mario went with. Marco's 2016 helmet was the best.

I really hope Alonso and McLaren just go "gently caress it", then go full time in the series next year.

He seems to like it here and I imagine it'd be like an Emmo situation pt II. Plus he has an insanely fanbase it seems.

The only doubt that creeps in mind is it would be a significant payout for him.

honestly Alonso doing Indy is not something I would have expected, I had halfway suspected that Massa might look into it after retiring, but maybe Indycar isn't really that big a thing for Brazlilian drivers anymore.

For a while it was pretty major destination for South Americans. Fair number of Mexican drivers too.

I'd be ok if Massa retired to sports cars after taking a spring to the face.

e: I watched a bit of the Gateway testing and I hope that race turns out well. :ohdear:
