No passes except at start and blue flags from what I saw

Have we all recovered from the excitement of the race last night? :shock:

I swear they keep Eddie Jordan on the podium interviews just so the visit to the winners room by Vladimir Putin isn't the most awkward moment of the day....

Race over by turn 2 Lap 1. Already looks like it will be up to Vettel to drive the wheels off that Ferrarri this season and try to try to win the drivers title, but it looks like the Mercedes guys have the constructors championship sewn up already - unless the Ferrari guys can find a little more race pace. Certainly closer than last season though. Red Bull and other Renault and Honda powered cars look even more underpowered and less reliable than last season.

Eddie Jordan on podium = facepalm

They all acted like little school kids in that room with Putin.

Alonso really needs to consider taking that sabbatical. Focus on the Indy race and finding a new ride for 2018.

I think Alonso should stay - I watch each race waiting for the 'Alonso moment'. :)

Agree, hopeless as a spectacle.

"Sewn up" - there's a 1 point margin! Ferrari mucked the start, otherwise it would have been a Ferrari win.
 
Enjoyed it overall, think only because of the vottas win though. Yep no real passing but tactically it was exciting
 
Live feed from Indianapolis - Alonso testing the IndyCar for anyone still awake.
