He is an intentional moron who wants other race car drivers to "get theirs."

Didn't he need to go through therapy after the whole JW thing, even though that was a combination of racing incident and insanely bad luck? Why the gently caress would he try and instigate poo poo?

Kurt Busch and Sage Karam were switched at birth. Sage is Kyle's real brother. This is the only conspiracy theory I believe.

The name Sage Karam keeps throwing me off too cause I keep picturing some Uzbekistani pay driver who has his entire nation's wealth behind him to land him an IndyCar seat. Instead it's some douchy looking kid from Pennsylvania.

The first domino falls. Or rather, stays. http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/143592-andretti-rossi-staying-with-honda quote:Alexander Rossi will be staying with Michael Andretti in 2018, which answers the question about which engine manufacturer Andretti Autosport is going to be running. Speculation is Zach Veach is in the picture for Andretti's 4th seat to replace Sato. Next up: Ganassi and TK.

I think Sato going to RLLR is a step sideways - was sorta hoping he would get either the 83 or 8 at Ganassi.

Well, that's taking some wind out of the silliness, but there's still a lot to go on for Ganassi  Human Grand Prix posted:I think Sato going to RLLR is a step sideways - was sorta hoping he would get either the 83 or 8 at Ganassi. I think Ganassi wants to avoid drivers that will wreck cars. I love the dude, but he's high risk, high reward.

Oh poo poo.quote:2016 Indy 500 winner Alexander Rossi says rumors that he’s signed a deal with Andretti Autosport are clearly untrue because he’s still unaware whether team owner Michael Andretti might be switching his squad to Chevrolet power. The rumor mill this year is INTENSE

His (Rossi's) resume is one turn and a straightaway more impressive than JR Hildebrand. e- Eh, comparing the two, that's a bit harsh of a comparison but still, he seems to be somebody who's riding on potential more than anything.

I guess his quiet performance is why I keep thinking he's more of a midpack driver than anything else. He's not terribly noticeable, but has run well, mostly hanging out in the 5-8 range in the running order.

The winner of the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race should be in IndyCar for as long as humanly possible. Being that he won it in a Honda it's no wonder why he's associated with them since he's their marketing piece like Taku but in a different way.

Yeah, I'm also holding any judgement on how good a driver is or isn't until next year if they joined up since the aero era started, especially if they're on a Honda team.

Alonso, realistically, can go to either A.) Williams, to perpetually finish in 5th-8th place with the occasional podium or B.) Renault, which really doesn't look much better and the results would likely be the same.

If Toro Rosso takes on Honda I could see it happening. That's looking less likely as time wears on but McLaren as a whole has clearly run out of patience with Honda.

He also got on the podium in Toronto and probably would have in Long Beach too if the car didn't crap out on him, and had a good shot at repeating the 500 before the blown pit stop. He's a drat fine driver IMO.

He's 13th in points so far, his worst season finishes being 16th in 2012 and 2016. In 2012 he at least had a second at Iowa, in 2016 he never finished better than 8th. He's had a 7th, 6th, and 4th this year.
