It would be interesting to know who, if anyone, compromised setup betting on rain late in the race. Would be typical of Penske to put one car on a different strategy.
Nice to see Pagenaud get a win and become the 5th different winner this year. What's the record without a repeat winner, seven? O'Ward had fastest lap of the race, might have been a contender but for the 1st lap contact. Great results for Harvey, Leist, Jones, and the Carpenter drivers. What happened to Rahal in the last couple of laps? Spin, tire issues, or? He ran top six most of the day but Felix and Power both got by at the very end. |

The UK feed (on Sky Sports F1) was a bit odd at times. Usually when you US folks are being fed ads we get a commentary-free feed but this one was really odd - we kept getting talkback from the commentary team to each other and the production folks. Someone at Sky had their finger on the mute button so it didn't last very long but there was something a bit hickey about the production this weekend...
Still, I enjoyed the race. Rain certainly shakes things up a bit! |

Pagenaud proved us all that he's still a proper racer.

Took me a day or two but I finally wrapped this one up on my home lunch break! Fun race; thanks mother nature! Simon is a beast!!
And this being the first Indy GP I've seen, the roval works well with these cars. Still odd seeing IndyCars on this circuit, but looks like fun for all! |

That was quite entertaining, and nice to be able to watch on regular NBC network TV. Great to see SP back with a win.
I do wonder how Kanaan escaped with no penalty for hitting whoever it was... Veach I think? |
