This is mostly correct, but Verstappen and Grosjean do not own. Perez also does not own.

This is so dumb. One is a highly bespoke international prototype racing series and the other is a one-make domestic series.

The only ones that seem to obsess over this are the really weird really insecure IndyCar fans probably because they're American and can't fathom something non-American being considered the best in the world.

This is the nation that has a domestic championship called the World Series ffs

Fastest Indy qual lap was a ~45.5 (by Rosenqvist in round 2) so 5-6 seconds faster than the test lap in that vid

Waiting to see if there's a massive pile-up at T1 so we can forever make side-by-side comparisons of F1 cars making it through without an issue while IndyCar's has-beens and wash-ups just collide. Not saying that's what's going to happen--- but the potential is there. Much like when IndyCar experimented with standing starts.

no crashes, no retirements until lap 42

Its been an ok race. COTA sucks and will forever suck and that's regardless of whatever the gently caress series races there.

It is from testing, but it was the only direct comparison video of current gen cars I was aware of at the time of my post. I know it wasnt exactly apples to apples but it was still interesting to see.

Our Santino did well and I think based on his name he would be a good candidate to drive for Berlusconi's Scuderia Ferrari in 2020

I think the best solution to fixing this dumb sport is to get rid of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull altogether.

Actually, the way to fix it is run it like claimer racing, where the loser can buy the winning car of each race for $500.

Then you'd get shitbag teams entering with a garbage car so they can buy a good one after their first race and at least finish in the middle of the pack for a season before they go bankrupt.

It would also discourage teams putting bajillions of dollars into their cars, because other dudes are gonna buy em for $500 anyways.
