@@CoSmicGoesRacing Sato is not always attacking recklessly, so he is a lot smarter than he was in F1. He had lost a few chances to win in F1 but he has won several races in Indy which means he has been still improving. He is definitely one of the greatest.

I know. I dont want to be hard on him but if he wasnt an Andretti he might be fine by now. When did he last win? 2011. Pole at indy is a great career stat to have though, so hope it gives him a boost. So happy for Sato,
Amazing race, I thought that Scott Dixon will win the race, because since the first lap, him was dominating the race, but Takuma surprise him, make a excellent overtake and get the victory. Indy 500 is always a box of surprise. Congratulations Takuma.
Yeahhhhhhhhh Takuma good job!!!!!!!!! You are definitely treasure of Japan!!!! Japanese car race fan must be proud of you!!!! Thank you for your amazing race Takuma!!

Glad Spencer's ok could have been more worse without a halo tough season for Rossi he was my pic yesterday 104th Indianapolis 500 pit road incident late coast him.
I'm pleased Spencer's fine but a halo would have done just as good of a job as the aeroscreen (which did it's job), though I'm not yet convinced either having one or the other or neither would have made much if any difference in this particular circumstance.
@@andrewtan881 it likely would have taken far too long, considering how hard Pigot's car hit. A green-white-checker would have been exciting, but I don't think everyone would have wanted to wait 30 min or an hour of red flag for 3 or 4 more laps. That piece of gear likely just saved someone's life, so it was better to take the less-exciting decision, IMO.
@@andrewtan881 It would take probably an hour and it was getting dusky already. Also, there would be just a huge crash with the cold cars and winner would be a coin toss. Nascar is in another castle.
Wondering...if the red did fly, would the drivers be allowed to get out of the car during that long repair? I know you can't work on them but I "think" you have to stay in them too. That may have lost the race for both the 40 yr olds up front.
I wish i was that competitive and aggressive as both Sato and Dixon are in their 40s! Indy has finished three times with Dario under yellow and one with Kanaan under yellow as well. They never needed GWC and they never will. Stop trying to turn indy and any other sanctioned body into NASCAR I'm not sure if it's a matter of luck by now but the fact Alonso's teammate, a 21 year old from Mexico who hs has never raced on the indy 500 before, has finished 6th speak volumes to me Great result from soon father-to-be Rahal as well! A podium is so much better than last year's DNF. Gutted for Rossi and Palou. They were locked in for a promising result, maybe even a victory. Overall, great race! As usual one of the best races of every year if not the best! Looking forward to Gateway, a track where Sato won last year!
Exactly! I've been watching the Indy 500 for the past 20 years and have seen numerous finishes under yellow. Lots of fair weather fans or Nascar fans who think every series should have a GWC finish. I'm a fan of both, but hated the playoffs and GWC finishes.
@@Mikertt i hated the one at Daytona for obvious reasons. The only one i liked was Kentucky's this year. No wonder why people call it the UFC/WWE of motorsport, for people who think good finishes consist on cars being torn up and drivers getting hurt until they reach the white flag (if they ever do) Also, i wonder where were these people when Dario won all his 3 under caution, same with Kanaan
Big hits, good to see that no one got injured. Sato was top notch, managing his car for the end of the race. Alonso just has bad luck, the last time he raced his Honda engine blew up, and this time his clutch failed and Sato won in a Honda. Still nice to see him try.
Hope you can watch the 2 gateway races happening next week they are usually just as exiting as the Indy 500 and traffics becomes an even bigger factor in 1.25m/2km oval
They call it "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" for a reason. It delivered. Ok, Yellow [finish] was controversial , its not the first time and wont be the last. Congrats to Sato. He earned it [as did the last one] .
Greatest racing spectacle is somehwhat of an over statement. Pikes Peak Hillclimb, Isle of Man TT, moto GP is super interesting at times and any WRC race, especially the one in the snow is very amazing too.
As I said, its [yellow] controversial and much as I would love a green to chequered flag , it seems to be tradition to finish under yellow when a crash [of which there were plenty, hence 'Greatest spectacle in Racing'] happens right at the end [of race]. Compare that to modern F1 when races are won [by a certain driver in a certain Mercedes] before they have even started. Had there been a green to chequered at last Sunday's Indy, there were any of at least 3 or 5 drivers who could have won but it was the controversial Yellow that handed it to Sato in the end. It seems to be the rules and rules are rules.
Any updates on Spencer Pigot? I know he got out of his car on his own but he was transfered to a hospital later, and I want to know if he's got any serious injuries
@@timzy4395 agreed 2017 was awesome, it was only time so far the only Indy I ever went too. If I can go every year I would. Just one question, do the Indianapolis police block off the main road to the track every year or was that just because the VP was there? Even after the race the Interstate was blocked
I was gonna watch the Nascar Dover Race on FS1 since we had much channels than last time, that wasn't until our cable got messed up and we've been trying hard to fix it but it's still malfunctioning. That wasn't until I realized that our cable might've been expired the day before the race. So I was thinking to myself "What should I watch?", and I saw this in the Guide and so I watched the Indianapolis 500 instead. It was a great race. Congrats to Sato btw!
I don’t really understand what’s going on. At 5:41 they said Harvey is with alonso, but I don’t see his name anywhere on the list. Can somebody explain please?
His Race Control is perfect. I felt Japanese Samurai spirits from his approach and race concentration . Have you ever seems him in Buddhist meditation of ZAZEN style? I saw him doing that. His kiss on the race track Thank you note that he really loved race,,,,,,, Good Luck to Takuma

His only podium in F1!
One of the craziest indy 500 ive ever seen i hate how it ended under yellow but congrats takuma!!!!!!!
No attack No chance❗️

A lot of Japanese fans are very much proud of you, Sato-san. We are looking forward to seeing you win more races in Indy including next year's Indy500

Hello Gais he had pace for top five, maybe even better. Just a small mistake or perhaps some kind of failure in the rear right tyre.

Good job Taku! Now, 2-times Indy 500 champ!!
legit decision at the end. you cannot race with that pit barrier in that condition, its life threatening, you need to repair it properly
Would’ve been more exciting if they red flagged it though. That way they can repair the barrier and then carry on the last 5-ish laps under green.
@@andrewtan881 it likely would have taken far too long, considering how hard Pigot's car hit. A green-white-checker would have been exciting, but I don't think everyone would have wanted to wait 30 min or an hour of red flag for 3 or 4 more laps.

@@andrewtan881 It would take probably an hour and it was getting dusky already. Also, there would be just a huge crash with the cold cars and winner would be a coin toss. Nascar is in another castle.
Not to mention that a 5-lap sprint could’ve resulted in more crashes.

Imagine if Alonso hadn't burned his bridges with Honda. Story of his life
Loved it
Amazing right on Sato!
Sato has won twice at Indy, both times with a different team.
Both times after turning 40! The second such driver after Emerson Fittipaldi.
Firestone tires.. 🔥
Wow a lot of people couldn't get alonso out of their head. What a man
