Crazy to think this season had 7 winners in the 7 first races and the last one, Rahal, was the first to break it winning two in-a-row.

Dixon is leading the championship with Castroneves in second. Both winless. Consistency is going to be key of this season. Also, Sato's good form and Munoz/Daly struggling are a strong proof something is wrong with Foyt. The team's revamp isn't working.

Gutierrez will have to wait a little longer to make his oval debut, as IndyCar won't approve him for Texas this weekend.

Sensible decision really, as Texas is going to be stupidly fast this year with the track having been recently repaved. They'll only be a few MPH slower than speeds set during the infamous CART debacle in 2001. Texas is probably the worst possible place to make your oval debut.

Oriol Servia is being lined up as a stopgap for Gutierrez. He really is the modern-day Robert Moreno.

Instead, we've ended up with Neville Longbottom Tristan Vautier. Would be surprised if anyone's reaction was anything other than "oh".

My reaction is more pure disdain. I despise Tristan for making Rahal sympathetic after taking him out at Pocono.

Takuma Sato has always been good at Indianapolis, even on the road course when he was racing in F1. Congrats to him for now winning the Indy 500.

Congrats to Graham Rahal, too, for winning both rounds at Detroit in dominating fashion.

Here's wishing Sebastien Bourdais all the best for his continuing recovery process.

May the remainder of this IndyCar season be safe and interesting.

The Texas race last night was berserk. Tony Kanann easily left as the most hated man in the paddock. He caused 2 debatable accidents the second of which wiped out both Schmidt cars, both Dale Coyne cars and badly damaged the Ed Carpenter cars as well as knocking RHR and Munoz out too. My view is that TK was responsible as him moving higher squeezed Hinch and made him hit both TK and Aleshin. Takuma Sato went from hero to zero by knocking Scott Dixon and himself out while fighting for 2nd and through it all came Will Power to win and do his title hopes a world of good

Put simply the race was so crazy we had Gabby Chaves come 5th and Marco Andretti finished 6th

Gutierrez getting consistently beaten by Ed Jones who was consistently beaten by Bourdais until the Frenchman crash. I have a feeling Dale Coyne is receiving some money from his sponsors to make this move, considering how well Davidson and Vautier were at #18.

Dale Coyne is living the 1982 Ferrari season. Promising start and quick downfall. And talking about Gutierrez, he is becoming a strong contender for IndyCar ROTY in this year (along with Marco Andretti) and will be one of the first drivers to be elected the ROTY in two different series.

Yes, because he's definitely a contender for ROTY when this is his first ever oval race. Definitely. :roll:

Gutierrez has been in the car for three weekends, was drafted in at short-notice and has never driven either these tracks or these type of cars without power steering before. All things considered, he's doing an alright job not to get absolutely blown out of the water, so it's harsh to rate him lower than the likes of Marco, Hildebrand and the entire Foyt squad

Not to mention former champion and Andretti team leader Ryan Hunter-Reay who has driven like a complete doofus or been completely anonymous all but 3 times this year, to the point where he's behind Marco Andretti who hasn't had a single good race all year. It says a lot about the drivers at Andretti that Takuma Sato is their only hope for a championship this year.

Looks like he heard you with his performance at Iowa. However the big story was Helio winning for the first time in 3 years

Looks like it's Scott Dixon taking on the entire Penske stable for this year's title

I'm going to give some kudos for Gutierrez for his decent race at Iowa. Lets see what he can do in the next rounds. ROTR to Aleshin and another rookie mistake. No wonder he was replaced for Toronto.

Pretty happy to see both Helio and Leist winning in the same weekend. I can't remember when was the last double Brazilian win in IndyCar and Indy Lights.

What a bold move from Helio in the start of the race in Toronto. He is back. If he keeps pushing, I think he definitely has a chance of winning this title. Will be very rewarding for him retiring with the title after so many close calls.

And this is probably the unluckiest season for Power.

Going to give my ROTR for Tony Kannan for crashing alone into the barriers of turn 1. Things not looking good for TK on this season. He needs to improve.

Rumor is, this is Helio's last year. Allegedly The Captain wants him to head up the LMP team. Old Helio realizes he needs to win something before its too late.

Did someone call? :P

As much as I desperately want Castroneves to secure the title, it's hard to see past Dixon getting title #5, given we've still got Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen to visit this season. Mind you, anything can happen in IndyCar (other than Marco Andretti ever winning a race again it appears :pantano: ) and realistically everyone in the top 6 still has a shot at the title. The wheels have well and truly come off Sato's season though. :(

Meanwhile, it looks like Andretti are hankering for a tie-up with the, er, bowtie.

To be frank, the Russian struggled in this season and gave a big repair bill to his team (not entirely his fault).

So with Pocono being this weekend, and with me living a mere 25 minutes or so from the track, there was a nice surprise yesterday. Mario took the two-seater through town. Even drove past my office 3 times. Of course my office is closed Mondays.....

Here's the real gripe I have with it. My wonky schedule aside, I would have come into work had I actually KNOWN ABOUT IT. Indy did no advertising whatsoever, trying for a "viral" or "flash" marketing idea. What did they get? Mario driving around, waving at no one, with a highly disinterested police escort. smdh

There were many valid reasons for the short notice, however; it was planned well in advance but City Hall and Liberty decided to keep it under wraps for as long as possible.

The lady luck dodged Power in this season until this race. Winning after getting a lap down was pretty awesome.

And Kannan is out of Ganassi for the next year. It's a shame because the Ganassi + Kannan combo looked so promising, especially after TK dragging the KV to the top several times.

And after much deliberation, a few flirtations and a flick of a domino, Andretti Autosport have an engine deal in place with a hard-to-please supplier.
