LOL this guy is so full of himself.

“Probably my instinct will tell me [I prefer the] road course, because it’s what I’ve been used to doing all my life, but the Indy 500 was an amazing experience, so 50/50," he said.
"I think I love the way the car feels on a road course, but I love the way you compete on ovals, timing the tows, traffic and all the overtaking maneuvers I think are a little bit easy on the ovals, so in terms of track action I loved the Indy 500.”

High downforce with the old manufacturer aero kit. He will likely find the new universal aero kit more challenging. I expect he will adapt and well. But I suspect it will be more challenging.

People here in the States, don't know how to turn right, that's a fact.

Yep.
 
Is he wrong? Passing is simply easier than what he's used to racing on ovals.

How many passes do you see on an oval vs a road course in a single race? I'll take Alonso at his word.

Maybe oval racing is easy, but being competitive in oval racing is a different matter.
 
Alonso said it is a little bit easier to race on an oval. I agree. Alonso will have an advantage on a road course over his oval experience, I agree with that also.
 
Nope.

It's EASY to walk one dog. It's EASIER to walk 9 dogs than to walk 10, but 9 are still not easy.
