Surprised no one has mentioned Alonso's exploits in Indianapolis.

I have been suprisingly interested in this (well, I've read a couple of articles on the BBC website).

Qualified in 5th place for the race next week, which is very impressive by all accounts.

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

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.

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

1st place now.

Go on lad!

Leading like a Boss he is!

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

This is a lot more watchable than boring F1.

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.
