This is their blue riband event, so its fair to say its a spectacle.

Indy is more basic and there's a far higher skill and ability level in F1. Its a lot easier to make the swap to Indy from F1 than vice versa, there have only ever been a handful of successes coming into F1. The reason I mentioned Chilton is that he was a fairly ****e F1 driver whose biggest achievement was to finish successive races.

But whatever, you don't care about that

Maybe it is is if you don't follow it. Max Chilton in 5th place ffs

Maybe. And I'm not about to become a fanboi either.

It doesn't make any odds to me who is in 5th (or 7th in Monaco).

This is a better spectacle than F1 and a bit more tense after that horrible crash.

It reminds me of touring cars in some ways.

This is a lot more watchable than boring F1.

Guy stood on the side of the track was very lucky there.

Huge crash.

Not sure how he survived.

Got a stream

Is this on UK TV?

1st place now.

Go on lad!

Leading like a Boss he is!

Poor sod tries another racing sport and still gets car trouble. He must feel jinxed at the moment!

[Daniel 7]

He's an impressive sportsman being criminally wasted at McLaren. It'll be a whole different challenge actually racing around an oval at close quarters against drivers with years of experience. I reckon a top ten finish would be a win for him.

[labourRed]

Impressive given he had engine trouble that meant he dropped some time. Could've been third or possibly second.
