IndyCar: 2021 Grand Prix of Alabama

Rosenqvist is back out? These cars are pretty damn robust.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Grosjean running very well so far

Grosjean running very well so far

No surprise IMO.

RoGro is really going to make Rick Ware seem palpable.

 

[FLRacingFan]

AMSP really panicked about those reds it seems, and Andretti were too quick to cover and follow them right in.

 

[gnomesayin]

Let Jimmie ride around and learn. NBC is predictably overselling this in cringeworthy fashion.

 

[Kiante]

Palou had O'Ward covered with ease.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Surprising that Pato got around Palou on older blacks. Car looks better now for sure though.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Even with Bourdais’s talent; Foyt will never get back on pace. Hell they haven’t been on pace since the early days of IRL when there was like two good teams

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Bouridas getting after it. Trying to prove me wrong about my Foyt take

 

[Reck]

Damn that looks questionable. Completely washed him off and onto the grass almost.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Seb definitely pushed him out, I'd be a little upset too. Just hard racing though.

Even with Bourdais’s talent; Foyt will never get back on pace. Hell they haven’t been on pace since the early days of IRL when there was like two good teams

I think they could pull off a surprise win, like Sato at Long Beach in 2013. I just don't think they'll be able to do it at a super consistent basis. So far today they're in good position and he finished off the season well at St. Pete last year.

He won't win the championship but he sure can sneak into a win or two.
He'll lap his teammate during most races too.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Herta is back out as well.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Power, Dixon, and Ericsson have made up a lot of ground on Palou and haven't been mentioned at all. This is one of the least cerebral racing broadcasts I've seen in a long time.

 

[gnomesayin]

Cue the Kenny Loggins.

 

[Reck]

This seems like a straight forward race. I dont understand O'ward's 3 pit stop strategy.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Power is going to eat Palou alive

 

[donthaveanickname]

This is gonna be fun.

 

[FLRacingFan]

This seems like a straight forward race. I dont understand O'ward's 3 pit stop strategy.

I think they were spooked by how out of control he looked early on the reds. He needs to push like hell on this stint.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Pretty disappointing performance by Hinch today, a lap down actually.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Pato isn't gonna get by Power and Dixon with all the P2P they have left.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Bourdais and VeeKay pass Ericsson for 5th and 6th and we get nothing from NBC.

Terrible broadcast. Borderline unwatchable.

 

[DaBiff1618]

O’Ward has lost so many races because of his team’s mind numbingly stupid strategy

 

[gnomesayin]

It makes sense to fight to stay on the lead lap up to a point, when there is a potential material difference in finishing position.

I don't at all agree that fighting to finish on the lead lap in and of itself is justifiable, if it interferes with the battle for the win.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Chevy must have garbage mileage if Power is hanging onto this much P2P. He pitted a lap after Palou.

 

[Reck]

O'ward doesn't even podium. Ouch

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Congrats to Palou. Can’t believe O’Ward still hasn’t won

 

[donthaveanickname]

Flawless job by Palou, now onto NASCAR.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Second win for the #10 since 2014. Crazy how bad that car has been since Dario. Palou was on it all weekend though, definitely wasn't expecting him to get so hot so soon.

O'Ward and Rossi should get apologies from their strategists.

 

[Tony_K]

Sure do enjoy watching Indycar racing. Wished they would've talked to the other 2 rookies after the race. Wanted to hear Grosjean compare running an entire Indycar race to F1.

 

[FLRacingFan]

 

[Kiante]

What a race from Palou.

He is the shot in the arm the team needed, to think Palou and Rosenqvist have been the only winners in the 10 car since Dario left.

That is shocking tbh, but Alex and Felix both have stood out. Alex has run ever since he's come over to the US. Just goes to show he's been ready and Super Formula prospects have a chance to transition from there to IndyCar as well.

Like, his pace was scary, I hope he's consistently able to compete against Dixon.

Well, first, he didn't take out half the field..............

[Charlie Spencer]

Just watched it. Good stuff watching the strategy play out and Alex shutting out Power and Dixon. Three-stoppers made the wrong call.

The Jimmie fawning wasn't as bad as at Sebring.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Did I read this right? a car actually flipped?

 

[aunty dive]

You seem surprised.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Really thought indycars were engineered to stay on the ground better than NASCAR even.

The weight difference of the two prob factors in.

I saw Kenny Brack win for him in '98 at Charlotte. Passed 8 cars after a restart and won the race.

 

[FLRacingFan]

No. Some air was caught, no flipping.
