How is Scott Dixon so good at saving fuel and going fast????

Congrats to Dixon, another canny win; #57 to be precise.

Just absolutely an effing joke. Guaranteed Newgarden went down there to tell that little **** how things are. And people want that little turd in F1??

And NBC covering for him like that was little. Fk you Colton you hit him 3 times dude in a hairpin when there's braking. Piece of sht always and no wonder no one in F1 wants you anywhere near it

[bjohnsonsmith]

In the interview with IndyCar radio, Herta admitted he was carrying too much speed into the hairpin and that wasn't the way he liked to gain places on the track.


Personally, I think he is lucky no action was taken.

Thankfully Josef is a much better mannered person than you seem to be.

He GUARANTEED went down to the Herta RV. Everyone trackside knows that meeting is coming and if you don't it shows how ridiculously clueless you are. He doesn't do it for TV views cause he doesn't need to

Race result

Not the best Grand Prix of Long Beach but an interesting one nonetheless. The FCY that was thrown by the Rasmussen crash definitely changed the race strategy for a number of teams and the complexion of the race. Davey Hamilton on IndyCar radio, more or less predicted Dixon would win after that.

I thought the Herta/Newgarden incident, marred the end of the race. There was no guarantee Newgarden would get past Dixon, after the best part of 15 laps or so of trying. However, for Newgarden to be rear ended and therefore out of contention ruined the excitement, of what was not a particularly good race up until then.

Yep, you missed the point and the irony once again.

I’ve known JN since he raced in FF. no way he went down and spoke in the manner you claim.

Well it appears all reports are exactly to the contrary from those actually there so again your insider status is proved to be well fake. He did go down and read Colton the riot act and pretty everyone told Colton he massively got away with being an idiot and he admitted as much later that he was wrong and bumped him out of the way.

Nope, he went down and discussed it later like the gentleman he is.

Not like your expletive-laden immature SHOUTING (as usual).

[broadrun96]

Ah, so when you have nothing else you pretend somehow something you don't like is immature. As usual you would incorrect as multiple reporters have stated he called him all manner of names behind doors so again you would be FAR FAR FAR from the pulse it appears.

great drive Theo 11th place- first Indycar race.

Lol, I heard direct from a genuine course. You add nothing as usual.

[bjohnsonsmith]

To you both, peebee2 and broadrun96, neither of you are adding anything of value to the thread, with your petty bickering. By all means, PM each other to death but if you carry on with this here, I'll just delete your posts, simples.

Positive to hear. He's a good guy, and a decent driver. I'm not sure he's going to make it in F1 with the Audi deal, but I think he has the personality to hopefully fit in stateside if so.

The good thing is that with Indycar and LMH/LMDH young talent has got good options to have a decent career if (when!) they don't get an F1 drive.
Both categories offer decent drivers the chanxmce to really race and enjoy thenselves too.
