Sebastien Bourdais has suffered fractures in his pelvis and right hip and will undergo surgery
If he's replaced, it will be an interesting storyline with someone suddenly finding themselves in a competitve situation
Ryan Evans
the replacement driver would have to be someone who has driven the current Dallara DW12
Colton Lewis
>Hawksworth
Dale Coyne might as well drive it himself at that point
Nolan Rogers
he used to drive this piece of shit, I think he's ready. Just gotta find a driving suit in his thicc dimensions
Michael Rodriguez
>turning right on a turn-left track
well theres your problem!
Landon Hill
I think Sato or Hildabrand will win.
Hudson Powell
My money is on Pic Related.
As for Bourdais replacements, it'll probably be somebody like Sébastien Saavedra, or some meme Indy Lights driver like Zach Veach, or Kyle Kaiser, or even Santiago Urrutia.
Dominic Miller
Thanks for eating my image Hiroshimoot.
Chase Myers
Saavedra and Veach are already in the race bub
Connor Brown
Alonso?
Josiah King
It's Absolutely Karam's year. I can just feel it.
ALOTION MOTION.
Aww man, I remember Flippy. He's been gone for so long.
Will Fastkuma Fasto steal the spotlight from Slownando Alonslow?
Jonathan Adams
would be poetry desu
Adam Brooks
How many bings and bongs until quali starts?
Has Sato once in his career gotten a drive not supported by Honda? In the US he isn't a shitter at least (which is a lot easier though).
Sebastian Green
He out-drove the Super Aguri in 2007 tbqh
Christopher Hughes
>Davidson >Ide who knows what a good driver could have done he had a few good and entertaining drives but a lot of subpar performances as well which overall made him almost below average for F1 standards Button has been in F1 for a long time and he never had a worse teammate than Sato in 2005, and it's not even close
Landon Long
>Has Sato once in his career gotten a drive not supported by Honda? Don't know about supported, but his F3 days were spent with a Renault derivative and his first two seasons in Indy Car used a Lotus engine
Jace Allen
god Lotus was so shitty. Jean Alesi and Simona DeSilvestro were black flagged at the 2012 500 for their Lotus powered cars being too slow.
Jackson Allen
I don't think Lotus has actually been good since the 80's
Isaiah Sullivan
Practice stream live in about 20 bings
Brayden Walker
Yes but he probably wouldn't have one now if it wasn't for honda
now we have two aussie shitposters, fuck everything
Christian Reyes
Ere we go lads >rain Well shit
Jordan Moore
>liverpool top 4 >rossi going to win pole doesn't get much more comfy than this
Jordan Scott
just kill me now
Caleb Thomas
Sébastien no ;_;
It's very sad, he doesn't have many fans here in France, people dislike him I think because he has glasses and look like the guy who sit at the front row in class. I like you I hope you'll get better and come back !
Jack Williams
he's a very likable driver, i really hope he comes back
Hudson Hernandez
i thought the rain blew through an hour or so ago & google says there's a 0-7% chance of rain the rest of the afternoon
Anthony Ross
Cars being wheeled out now
Aiden Smith
Bring on the zuum
Hudson Jenkins
for the whole season?
Brandon Roberts
>the guy who sit at the front row in class.
why is that bad? don't you want to be in the front row in the race :^)
Colton Roberts
Whats the lowest qualifying position anyone has won the Indy 500 from?
Brandon Nguyen
Harroun won the first one from 28th
Nolan Johnson
Sebastien's backup car with James Davison driving is gonna be starting last. Dale Coyne isn't gonna try to qualify it because it's the only car he has left. its a road course car so DCR is gonna have to change some things to make it oval-worthy.
Is this supposed to be impressive, peanuts are pretty fragile
Julian Hill
hunter reay with the 231.992
Jason Thompson
Ed Jones 233.008
Juan Johnson
looks like a walnut
Lincoln Bell
Might have to pick up this coloring book, sounds very robust
Nicholas Roberts
NO BRAKES O B R A K E S
Easton King
they don't lift either unless they're about to hit another car
Joshua Taylor
they will lift in traffic during the race. In traffic the aero on the front wing is significantly reduced which increases understeer and will send them into a wall if they stay flat out, particularly on more worn tires. This is commonly referred to as 'aeropush'.
Julian Moore
they also lift if they are alone with full fuel tanks on raceday
t. someone who sits in turn 1 every year
Xavier Long
How was his French
Nathaniel Anderson
When is the fast 9?
Justin Nguyen
4 bongs
Elijah Sullivan
...
Thomas Fisher
IT'S BEEN
Charles Kelly
God I hope Disney loses the tv rights
Jose Moore
2015 Indy - Montoya won from 15th but after few laps he had to pit for repairs and was last or close to last
Ian Reyes
do they each get one run today or are there multiple attempts?
Noah Baker
just 1
Jonathan Garcia
fast 9 get one.
the rest get multiple
David Peterson
we need to hack into the watchespn stream
Robert Morris
WHY ISN;T THE AUDIO ON THE INTERVIEWS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Anthony Clark
the audio sounds like the radio broadcast for whatever reason
