      • Great news for Indycar, dumb decision by the FIA.

        Colton Herta is a phenom. 7 wins already and he’s only 22.

        "but you're not as confused as him are you. it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel". Tap pt 1.

        "I think it's ****ing stock. What--? Which part of that is unclear to you? I think it sounds stock to my ears. I mean, do you want me to write it down?" Tap Pt. 2

          The dumb part is the points for Indy and Indy Light. Other than that, Colton should be part of Penske or Ganssi. Mike has done so little for the sport, I dont understand why he has a huge team that has so few accomplishments recently.

              • So Red Bull exceeded the 2021 budget cap. https://the-race.com/formula-1/red-b...t-yet-decided/

                What should happen is Red Bull and their drivers lose points and money- so that the teams understand that the cap has some real bite to it. But I bet that won't happen, and a minor infraction won't mean much. And all the teams who can will exceed the limit strategically just like they do for powertrain exceeding the limit- which has been shown many times is such a weak penalty that teams do it at the right tracks because they can.

                    I did say that I don't think anything will happen. Which will make the rule pointless. Just like the power unit rule has become.

                    • Well…McLaren signed another driver! Mario Andretti working towards his super license. Look out Alex Palou and Pato O’Ward, he’s coming for your future racing seat.

                        • TIL Mario Andretti is wee. He's listed at 5-6 but most people say in person he would be hard pressed to claim 5-5.

                            I've met him, he's a pretty short guy. But he's also the norm for most open wheel racers. Guys like George Russell are not the norm.

                            • Ocon and Albon are 6-1, that's very surprising to me. Tsunoda is 5-3.

                                I think open wheelers are no longer all that short anymore. The general population keeps getting taller for one thing. Ocon may not be a Russell height, but he's up there. Dixon is at least average height. There are other F1 drivers who I'm sure give headaches to the technical designers...

                                Yes, Mario is very short. I've met him also.

                                Remember Howdy Holmes? He was extremely short, jockey size. I remember he once said he fully believed that he had a reflex advantage, because his nerve signals had less distance to cover. He actually said that. Don't know how much tongue in cheek, though...
