everyone is so aggressive that 3 cautions happened without at least 10 minutes of race time. it must’ve been the delay

Blomqvist just casually crashing after one turn taking out the guy who’s been fighting for the win the last 2 times
He’s gonna be on a lot of people’s hit list 😅

F1: Has massive crash in opening exchanges of Monaco with the backmarkers.
IndyCar: Write that down! Write that down!

Not a great day - all four swedish drivers are out: Marcus Ericsson, Linus Lundqvist, Tom Blomqvist (swedish citizen!), and now Felix Rosenqvist.

The 108th Indianapolis 500 with 108 commercials (one commercial per lap) with still 90 laps to go.

The BEST commentator of the Indy 500.!!! I also watched the NBC 600 and the commentor LIED about a first contact, then he said he didn't know. Yea Indy, Nascar commentator sucks.

You can't take a shortcut through the grass....save that for the last lap.

200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, 200 laps, remember!

Gotta feel for Ericsson. Had a terrible month of May leading up to this race, only to be taken out on the first lap.

Great footage. Did Ericsson react late, I think so, he should have reacted earlier and not hoped to get by.

Fittipaldi should have kept his hands on the wheel and controlled it...

After Watching F1, Indy and Nascar today, I think Indy is now the premier racing league. The Monaco grand prix was one long parade with no passing. Nascar cars are so weak there is no passing and you have to get in line all race long., but after watching O'Ward and Newgarden duke it out for the last 5 laps, that was real racing.

[tonykollberg]

Nothing to do for Ericsson, it hurts to see :(

Looks like the cockpit shield saved another driver there.

Had he not tore his car up in pre race practice he could have probably qualified toward the front and avoided the rookie taking him out.. He has to own 75% of the blame for the DNF
