Anyone surprised that he's casually doing spot on times doesn't remember how metronomic he was in his championship seasons. Guy's a machine with a working car.

If Hack Clown was smart he'd send a few employees from the F1 team over to watch the race. Gordon Murray got the idea for pit stops from Indy iirc.

So did Alonso just blow everyone away during the test as predicted and now everyone involved in IndyCar is have an existential crisis of their mediocrity?

Yes he joined the illustrious group of racers such as Milka Duno, Dr. Jack Miller, and Hiro Matsushita, who had also easily completed their rookie orientation programs. Truly blown away.

Alonso's right foot thing reminds me of Are Dick Grabber's "tight skin" metaphor.
