Fun Indy fact, i have an injection off of one of Bill Vukivitch's cars from 1952, the same year he ran the fuel injection special. Literally i may have the first fuel injection ran at indy which may have gone on to dominate the next 2 years until he cartwheeled into the infield in a fireball.
I have no way to trace the history other than the factory hilborn records which have the owner, engine and dates bought and worked on(All of which are the same era)

Glad to see Max take pole in qualifying. That track looks like a lot of fun.

It's going to be interesting. Either it's a finish pretty much in grid order or there is going to be a lot of crashes when everyone pushes to pass. I figure it's going to be a long race with several red flags adding 3/4 to 1 hour to the time. And Max & Louis both out after crashing into each other.

Hopefully Hamilton crashes and is out on the first turn.

Ferrari were not too sluggish. Let's see if they can race.

I don't believe those tire red/yellow % graphics.

Hamilton has always whined about how bad his tires are. Half the time, 2 laps later he sets a fastest lap…

I thought I’d like this track, but it’s worse than Monaco. Not enough chances to overtake so a bit boring.
Christ how stupid can Mercedes be?

MB looks like pure genius when they pull something off, other times, well, finally they look limited. Thanks Redbull and Max! I think the key to this one is to have a nice big breakfast during the race. That WAS the awesome part.

Cool track to race on, not so much for racing though
