Next week they are using softer compounds. Might be a lot more pit stops.

And it's official; no fans at the Indianapolis 500.
While I think it was a smart, albeit unpopular strategy, let the shitstorm commence.

On one hand, the tyres didn't last as long as people needed to (albeit I think Lewis and Bottas pushed them past recommended anyway) On the other, aside from random wind, the tyres were pretty much the only reason that race was interesting at all for fans who aren't as invested in middle of the pack underdog stories as I am.

Pirelli have already said they are going forward with the softer compounds for this week. One step softer so this weeks hard will be last weeks medium.

The Gibbs Reaper strikes again.
Leavine Racing shuts down, and as a result, Erik Jones gets kicked out of the 20 so Bell can take it over next year.

It may be raining and there may be a pandemic, but that's not keeping people from showing up to RoadAmerica it seems.

Harvick wins several laps after nudging Kyle Busch to the wall. I be very, very pissed.

Tyres aren’t working great for the Mercedes, so today is the field’s best chance to break their stranglehold, if only for one race.
(And by field, I mean just Verstappen)

(And by field, I mean just Verstappen) Either Mercedes built their cars too aggressively this year and just hoped that DAS would even it out, or Hamilton and Bottas can't manage their tyres for shit. And this is after they nearly shook the cars apart in Austria too.

Three months later than scheduled, today we will have the Indianapolis 500, with The Greatest Spectacle in Racing being held in front of an empty house.

Strange not seeing any fans at the 500. I'm more than used to that with the Brickyard 400, but the 500 is different.
Well, time to prepare the brats for today.
