INDIANAPOLIS (Sunday, May 21, 2017) - Verizon IndyCar Series driver Sebastien Bourdais underwent successful surgery Saturday night for pelvic injuries he sustained while attempting to qualify for the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race.

The Dale Coyne Racing driver sustained multiple fractures to his pelvis and a fracture to his right hip in the incident Saturday.

"Surgery went well," INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Geoffrey Billows said. "I've met with Sebastien this morning and he was doing even better than I expected."

Additional updates on Bourdais' condition will be released when available.

I didn't get to watch qualifying at all yesterday, but I'm kind of glad for that because I don't know what I would have felt if I saw 2017 2018 Verizon IndyCar Series Champion Sebastian Bourdais go from rocket ship to Challenger disaster in a heartbeat. I'm glad he's OK. I guess they had Coyne on the stream early and he said Seb was already talking about wanting to get back into the car for Sonoma. That's prob not going to happen but if that's true then I don't think we've seen the last of him in an Indycar.

I think Penske played it too safe yesterday so now their only pole hope is Power.

And man, Graham's line out of two is hairy.

Might have been a money issue. Stefan may have had his sponsors and whatnot but if Davison had more backing then you would understand if Coyne went with him.

Honestly Coyne has wiped about $900K worth of equipment in the last few weeks, and lost the guy who he mortgaged the farm to get. I imagine that seat will be going to the highest bidder for a while.

I kept seeing those comments on various YT videos of Alonso's run.

Like..I think the worst I've seen from worst thread was "These guys are f1 rejects, and the driving on an oval is crazy". The YT video comments are so bizarre:

"This is boring"
"These cars are so slow"
"This is like he's racing GP2"

2018 F1 regs will allow engine changes during pit stops for the first time. McLaren-Honda sets a record for a 17 second engine change. "We got so used to doing it fast last season, it came so natural to us.," they said.

Despite this, Alonso will fail to start 11 races next year.
