All-purpose open-wheel (F1, IRL) racing thread

I'd rather have a tax audit than go back and face A.J. Foyt after I tore up one of his cars.

 

Can see some darker clouds building in the distance. They're pretty damn racy for 120 laps to go. Hinchcliff and Power were crazy on the last restart. This one's even crazier.

 

Radar showed a line of storms at the Illinois border, but pretty clear behind it.

 

RHR goes boom, and for the first time the Andretti Hondas look over their shoulders today.

 

Davison, Rahal and Pagenaud have fuel strategy advantage, maybe? Watching to see how this plays out with cautions.

 

They've had more debris cautions today than a bad NASCAR race, which is kind of what this looks like.

 

Bet Honda is super stoked about all the money they spent on ads for a race where their engines keep going poof.

 

Castroneves seems like he's carrying a four-leaf clover in his pocket today. Perhaps that's going to bring him a fourth win.

 

Everyone predicted it, too.

 

With 32 laps remaining -- and a few under caution -- ought to be good to race the rest of the way for everybody. Time to ratchet it up a notch.

 

Alo: Goodbye.

 

That was a hell of a 10-lap sequence.
