   Wow Bottas! Guess he's not being totally dominated, yet!Fairly typical results, cool to see Ocon with 4 straight point finishes, seems FI will be quite solid this year. 

Alonso with the Did Not Start, engine problem. Jesus, you think it can't really be more pathetic and there it is. McLaren WTF has happened to you, and this is downright painful for Alonso.

	^It's painful for the entirety of McLaren, past and present. The second most distinguished constructor in F1 history, and they've reduced themselves to this. It's really sad. Just hope Jenson gets to actually start Monaco. And Kyle Busch's frustrating 2017 continues... Edited by MillsLayne - April 30 2017 at 18:06

	Seriously, talk about a fall from grace for McLaren.

	Great drive from Bottas. I knew he had it in him. Talented, cool and very very hungry. This win was no fluke and he'll have more.

	So, Alonso is cleared to compete in the Indy 500 with his passing of the rookie test, which was viewed by 2 million people supposedly. Also, he literally killed two birds with one orange stone, too. Edited by MillsLayne - May 04 2017 at 18:24

	They're practicing at Indy, and Alonso is midpack, about where I expected him. Today, though, he ran something like 117 laps and a lot of it with his Andretti teammates, learning how to work the draft and work in a pack. The 500 can't get here fast enough.

	Well, not much else to look forward to for Alonso. Another win for Lewis, seems clear he and Vettel will be duking it out for this title. Some Finnish DNF's allowed Ricciardo onto the podium, Perez into 4th and Esteban Ocon into 5th place Continuing his pretty good F1 start.

	Kyle Busch finally notched an All Star win last night in his twelfth try in what was an overall boring event. Pretty par for the course in the past few years with the All Star race, really. Nobody can pass for the lead. On the IndyCar side, they held pole day qualifying for the Fast Nine and then also for the rest to determine 10th-33rd, although the lineup only shows 32. James Davison will start 33rd in place of the injured Sebastien Bourdais, who crashed yesterday and suffered multiple fractures in his pelvis and also a broken hip.

	Spectacular run from Alonso there to make the second row, really looking forward to seeing the race. Good luck to Bourdais, those were some pretty serious injuries. He's out for the year I just hope it doesn't end his career.

	Congrats to Vettel on winning at Monaco, only his 2nd victory there. Feels almost wrong lol Alonso is out of Indy unfortunately, Honda engine failure......just ouch Scott Dixon is OK after a vicious accident, holy sh*t...missed the safer barriers, the fence pretty much everything. Down to just the integrity of the car, thank goodness it held up as always. And after the armed robbery...Scott has had quite a poor weekend despite his pole!

	Holy crap, Takuma Sato!!!! For someone who may not have been much of an oval racer just won the biggest there is Holds off Helio for the win, wow. Top 5 rounded by rookie Ed Jones, Max Chilton and Tony Kanaan. JPM, Rossi, Marco, Munoz and Gabby Chavez finish off the top 10. This all thrusts Helio into top spot just ahead of Dixon, Pagenaud and Sato in a 3 way tie. Gunna be quite a year Edited by JJLehto - May 28 2017 at 14:39

	Not a great day for McLaren/Honda then.

	Alonso has a typical end to his race with a Honda engine going pop, at least this time he was running 7th and in contention for the win. Excellent job by Sato, makes up for 2012.

	Again, the Indy 500 ended up being SO good! Gutted for Alonso, as he was having a stellar day and was setting up for a possible battle for the win, but his luck with Honda continued. At least a Honda engine won, I guess. And speaking of which, TAKUMA SATO! Congrats, guy! Amazing battle with Helio at the end and finally makes up for 2012!

	^This! Amazing that Castoneves looked like he was geared up for another patented Penske win after riding under Dixon's flying car, losing a piece of rear wing and being in second place with three laps to go. Go Sato! Edited by SteveG - May 30 2017 at 07:36

	Jeez, Graham Rahal swept the Duel in Detroit this weekend. Didn't see that coming. Jimmie Johnson won his 83rd Cup race today and ties Cale Yarborough on the all time win list at 6th.
