Anyone watching?

Alonso going well.

Well, you spoiled that, Tbird!!

Ironic end to his race.

Fantastic action with plenty of crazy incidents which were testament to how much safer the cars are now, as Nigel Mansell ( who would have won the Indy 500 if he could do a rolling start ) once said " it's pure racing "

It would be far better if they could manage to keep it out of the wall more often.

The first quarter I really enjoyed, right up to the big accident, then it became just a broken up series of full course yellows and safety cars and an 8 lap sprint to the finish.

You would get the same effect, and save 2 hours of your life by making it the Indy 100

It's very very American - including lots of stop-starts - fun to watch once a year.

Yes, sorry about that Mr Alonso...;-)

I rather enjoyed it but I doubt I would have bothered if not for the Alonso angle and I don't think I could stomach a whole series of it.

I bet when he eventually goes to Le Mans he uses anything but a Honda engine!!

Would have loved to have seen Alonso win. But boy was Dixon lucky to walk away from that one

I bet Honda would pay him NOT to use a Honda engine
