      The reason why all these young kids on these threads think the racing was "great" and the greatest ever - they don't know any better.
      They never experienced the truly great racing of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.
      Forty years of glorious evolution, innovation and intriguing state-of-the art racing.
      With all best racing car manufacturers, engine suppliers and the World's greatest drivers like Jimmy Clark and Nigel Mansell. F1 Champions.
      Now reduced to a farce of all identical spec cars with no name drivers. A 490-mile economy run with crashfest in the last 5-laps.
      Throw a dice to decide what Dallara spec car win! The ugliest open wheel racing car in auto racing history.
      The Glory Days will never be revisited.

      ​@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp While I agree with you that people are being dramatic saying this was the greatest 500. I completely disagree with you saying the 80s thru the 90s were great. Every year only a few cars finished on the lead lap and we had so many dominating runs Sneva 83 Mears 84 Michael 92 till the engine blew up penske 94. You may hate the spec cars but it produced without a doubt the best decade for racing which was the 2010's

    Newgarden in the crowd is definitely a safe move overall. IndyCar doesn't typically generate the level of fan hate of drivers like F1 does. And the vast majority of people at the 500 are more so fans of the race / "spectacle" , not specific drivers.

      Couldn’t have said it better. It’s such a massive event that most people there are casual fans and would rather be happy for Newgarden winning for the first time than focus on any controversy. Also a lot of the crowd problems we see in F1 seem to come from national pride which is much less of an issue with every Indycar race being in the US

      You Ur-Oh_Peons should lighten up on Ferrucci. He has not once had a phone is his car, hit his teammate on purpose, or hurled racial epithets toward his teammate and family since coming back to the US. And since they allow him to race with a flag over the entire car, instead of just the side pods. Since they forced him to remove them over there and caused him to make the not so funny joke that maybe he should run a MAGA sticker there instead. Which makes me wonder, could the issue not have been Ferrucci, but the Trident team itself? They were the source of him saying horrible things to Maini, they also leaked that he wanted that MAGA sticker, a request that is usually kept between FIA and the team. Then I remember Maini's rant after a race that Trident weren't giving him enough support, and the pieces all come together. All that and the fact that Europeans hate Americans (queue Clarkson doing a bad US English accent here) and the fact that fans, most drivers, even Bobby fucking Rahal love the guy here, and you gotta ask, what's wrong with you, Europe?

    Fans in America for the most part aren't easily disturbed by occurrences similar to the 2021 Abu Dhabi Race. We would have wanted a Red flag in 2020 when the race ended after a crash with 5 laps to go, and Abu Dhabis happen in NASCAR all the time (seriously, between the three series, there will be at least three a month).

    • @laurenmp7486

      To be fair, a lot of the fans at the track might not have even thought anything was up with the finish anyways. Like there's 2 laps and they don't want to finish under yellow, only one way to do that.

    Also- Sting Ray Robb was named by his parents after the Corvette Stingray. That's not a joke- I am dead serious about that. He's also one of the most incompetent IndyCar drivers ever with a lot more money than talent. He should go back to IndyCar NXT- he isn't ready for the big time.

      somewhat proof that finishing 2nd in indy lights still doesn't make you ready for Indycar. though, tbf, some of his DNF's have been as results of being in shitty equipment (dale coyne should NOT have partnered with rick ware racing, this has only resulted in a really shitty second coyne car, and we don't talk about the third car that ran in 2021 for a few races which was effectively a spare car that just happened to have sponsoring). will agree though, he doesn't have a lot of talent, and probably should of have stayed in indy lights for another year or 2.

  • @DW98rosy

    gonna say what i said after the race: this was the greatest finish to an oval race that should never be allowed to happen again. normally Indycar race control knows what there doing, but apparently they decided to celebrate memorial day early and throw all their brain cells out the window at the end of the race. the drivers weren't given enough time to warm the tires up for that 1-lap battle to the end. gutted for rosenqvist and canapino, who were my picks for race win and rookie of the year respectively, but then again, Indycar (especially the 500) is never predictable. still happy for newgarden, though, he's worked hard to try and win the 500 and he's finally achieved it.

    Not just 4 turns but 4 left turns. That's why so many drivers hit the wall, the urge to turn right just becomes too great for some. And that's how the Indy 500 is won... It's an endurance test of resisting the overwhelming urge to turn right for 500 miles.

    Great video! And I'm just wondering how F1 fans felt seeing all that weaving at the end of the race. As for the race itself, it's Indy, so it's always a bit of "this is going by quick....never mind" at work. As for the finish, given the rules in place, well that's that. Also honestly given the speed of the pace laps, it's not like they really warm the tires enough to matter. An extra lap to set up, is kind of a waste anyways in Indy cars. Also for those not familiar with the race and all the practice sessions, they used to get the entire month of May so it was two weeks of practice before qualifying started, which was 2 weeks before the race, and the weekend before the race. but not the days in between the weekends, that was just practice.
