1st for fuck Gimi

...

perfect picture OP

LuckDraft isn't for me. I find it a semen slurping sport.

>Alonso dominates the whole race
>Leads less laps than Chilton
KEK THIS DELUSION

6th for THE LACK OF POWER OF THE BROKEN DREAMS

best average time, pitted too early, good engine was on Sato's car

Let's not ignore the fact that AMX got hilariously rekt yesterday

indy500 looks more fun to drive than modern f1 desu

>Chilton actually lead at one point

>Alonso: The people here -- they could not sit down for three hours. I didn't miss Monaco

Monaco BTFO.

his radio call was hilarious

Michael Schumacher is a vegetable for all his bad F1 karma.

...

Based alfonso

yeah, quick, not good. You need to be more than quick to be good, champ

>american reading comprehension

>"best driver" could not advance and hold the wheel of drivers ahead of him for 30+ midrace laps

I mean Alonso truly showed some remarkable balls today but you need to get rid of your unending inferiority complex.

Sato was so lucky to win that one. Well deserved though as the whole race is a meme

>Rossi cucked by pitstop
>Alonso cucked by engine (don't tell me he wasn't a front runner)
>Hunter Reay de facto obvious winner cucked by le engine
>Scott Dixon cucked by le crash
>Chilton seemingly didn't care too much about a Indy500 win so he didn't bother defending in the final laps
>Castroneves is too old to race and seemingly didn't care about pulling a banzai

Old drivers are boring. We need Indylights but in in Indycars with no preparation doing the 500

Monaco ((fans)) are rich celebrities that aren't even watching the race and talking amongst themselves.


Indy 500 are 400,000 locals and travelers in Midwest that grew up as mechanics, local racers, drag racers, etc. Of the 400,000 attendies of Indy 500, I'd say 99.9% change their own oil. 0.01% of Monaco crowd change their own oil of their Bentley.

Yes Schumi is proper monged up but karma doesn't exist my (((white))) friend. If you pray enough do you get god karma. How does this religious magic work?

who is the boss now

>make post
>retract on said statement when questioned

keep it going my Kiwi friend

hello friends greetings from china

lelonso wasn't a front runner.

It was a shoot out between Chilton vs Castronevis vs Takuma.

Remember, Rossi won his rookie year with a superior pit strategy.

What's Wobbler doing in Indycar?

Indy discussion to Indy thread

F1 discussion in F1 thread

Finally a Ferrari fan who isn't delusional

You guys could learn from this

>uses innovative technology on car
>gets DSQed and banned for three races

>crashes into Hill
>DNFs

>crashes into JV
>DNFs and gets DSQed from WDC

>has brake failure and breaks his legs, misses half the season and lose WDC because of it (glad Mika won though but still)

>stall car during quali
>get moved to back of the grid

>years later people say you won because of cheating and that you deserve to be in one of the worst possible states

by standing behind you consume the fuel and the tyres way less, even Castroneves did the same and Sato too. Being on first position meant nothing when in reality it's all about pits and tyre/fuel management.

Kimi's hot laps were the most exciting part of Monaco, you cannot deny this

>pray enough

O you don't understand the concept of karma. Praying isn't involved. Its literally just if you do good stuff good stuff will come to you if you do bad stuff bad stuff will come to you.

Ferrari have been cucking drivers for years, why are people surprised and/or in denial about it now?

Alonso be like: youtube.com/watch?v=Soa3gO7tL-c

You say american mechanics but you do not have enough good old boys to do proper pit stops. The cars break when you slightly bash the walls (Yes I have played GT & you can easily touch the walls) and your engines do not last a whole race. Shocking, sad & slippery like a slug. That is all I have to say yes. Your mechanics are nothing more than snails to me

The disgusting amount of advertising in indy is reason enough to not watch it

fucking Kimi was slow

fuck off with this meme, Vettel ended 7s ahead of him

Sato > vettel desu

>lelonso wasn't a front runner.
Hang on lad he was winning when I was half-watching between taking pictures of some random ginger cat. It had massive bollocks

Upvote if you think Monaco should be dropped from the calendar

that's true if you are within the draft (2-3 car lengths), he was fighting the car around lap 100 and was often the first in a line of mid-pack cars down the backstretch. That is the antithesis of fuel and tire conservation, it's essentially like being in 1st.

B-B-BUT MUH GIMI
BWOAH

suk my dik lmao

anyone watching the wnba game tonight? im watching for kelsey plum

it absolutely should, it's the worst race by a considerable margin

should happen in autumn instead when the chance of rain is higher

Oriol Servia was the best driver on the track. He was making it stick just about anywhere

Have some 4chin gold.

i think they should rework it not drop it, the qualifying is p cool on monaco

Kimi gave up though.

In the first stint I don't think he was that slow, he had a decent gap on Vet a few times but then they got to the lapped cars and it bunched him back up to Vet, then they pit him. Vet got a totally open track whereas Kimi literally came out at the back of the lapped cars he just wasted time passing.

He was in like 9th when his engine died

F1 kids are the most cancerous, moronic retards on the planet, and know absolutely nothing of racing, only delusion.

It should but it won't happen. Richfags will make sure of that.

>Watching women sports
Lad that is pretty gay desu

replace monaco with lime rock

To all you Americans, I am only criticising the quality of your sports drivers, the race itself was actually quite entertaining and more fun than today's F1 race.

>BTFO during every restart
>failed to manage his engine and exploded it
>can't even manage to finish the race

Pathetic, really.

bet this guy goes on trackforum

>english

Well I was taking pictures of that cat weren't I

I still stand on my position they pitted him way earlier, Castroneves strategy was great and Alonso deserved it. Takuma got cheeky, some yellow flags, good management...kudos to him. Andretti wanted the nip on the podium

no fuck you, you guys shat up the indy thread with f1 shit the whole time, now taste your own medicine

Exactly. People who deny it are utterly delusional.

Delusional Tifosi being delusional yet again - nothing new!

Have a look at picture related, you could learn a thing or two.

Quiet Ahmed I have been drinking innit. Cook us up a nice bit of cheeky naan yeah

no, Vettel was faster even before the pit and he was fast in the lap after Raikkonen went to the pits

Vettel and Ricciardo were both great

Let me check, is there a British auto industry anymore?

No? Keep Calm, okay carry on.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This

he was 1st or 2nd of drivers that were on his strategy
Sato was on the same strategy, only one position ahead or behind, and he won
I'm just making fun, I liked the race but I don't like hyping guys like Chilton or Sato as guys who should win a race that gets called "greatest race in the world"
the fact that those two don't do well in the regular Indy series shows that it's not that bad, maybe some of their drivers are really good
Alonso was the most impressive driver today though

stop shitpostin.........................unless its about lew lew hammy....

>you guys shat up the indy thread with f1 shit the whole time, now taste your own medicine
lol no

>I DURN HAD SEX WID MUH SISTUR

What went wrong?

>he would rather some soulless, cookie cutter Tilkedrome shit in the middle of Timbuktu than the most historic, most characterful, and most demanding race on the calendar
Wow I'm glad I'm not this much of a cuck

DID YOU CHUG YOUR MILK FOR SATO??????????

You're welcome to stay here my (((white))) friend. What is you favourite anime lad?

No "mate", you're just a fucking moron

Every Andretti car had the same shot and were running similarly except Marco. Hunter-Reay, Alonso and Rossi just caught bad luck. Sato was with them the whole time.

>he was 1st or 2nd of drivers that were on his strategy
No, he lost couple of positions after the restart following his second to last stop

>a literally semen slurping sport

No. We want a track where it's possible to overtake.

Bit grumpy there mate. Besides I can just pop on train innit lad

>most historic race
That's Monza

>most characterful race
That's Singapore or Baku

>most demanding race
That's Barcelona, Singapore or Hungary

Next

Alonso was impressive considering the circumstances but Oriol Servia was the best straight-up driver today

two bad drivers unable to extract 90% of car's potential

he did so several times after restarts and always recovered

>Alonso was the most impressive driver today
This is the delusion I'm talking about, typical f1 kids.
Helio had a winglet missing nearly the entire race and was still 2nd.

t. ""Gordo"". What sort of fucking name is that? Pmsl.

>Vettel was faster even before the pit
Kimi had better times on most of the laps

He was in front for most of the race, he was looking racey at like P7 or something when he retired

Monaco has infinitely more character than SG or Baku.

Because he had clean air, and for that his times were shit tier

the fact that it was Alonso's first ever race shouldn't be ignored either tho

...

Sounding awfully bum bothered there. I imagine you are either a paki or a lefty judging off your response yeah

>2x WDC can't keep his engine the whole race no matter the series

>F1 "reject" wins on the same engine

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Honestly up to the crash the most impressive driver was Davidson, because he was a literal who who showed balls of steel- it should come as no surprise that a heralded F1 driver can drive almost anything fast and well

>fucking Kimi was slow
in Monaco you can hold a car behind you

if Ferrari didn't force Gimi into the shit strategy letting Vettel set fast laps while Gimi's tyres were still cold, he probably would've rejoined in the lead and been able to keep him behind, at least until Ferrari gave the orders to "let Sebastian by he is on a different strategy"

but not right before the pit
sad to say but Kimi had to push before and after the pit like Seb did

Sing it with me lads
I DRIVE A LONELY ROAD

t. Prince Albert II

ALONSO DID
