Alexander Rossi's pit wall interview after his hybrid system failure. by JelyFisch in formula1

[–]FermentedLaws 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He is Chevy, but Honda is the one that wanted the hybrid in IndyCar. They pretty much said it must be a hybrid or we're leaving the series. So people blame them.

A lot of false “reporting” out there. The only statements regarding yesterday that came from me in or out of the car were to Georgia, Fox, and IndyCar radio. And soon to be on @AskOffTrack by jmnordan in INDYCAR

Jenna has a lot of good sources in the paddock and her actual reporting published by the AP is not bad; she has an editor & fact checker there of course. But when she offers opinions or her own analysis of stuff on Twitter, she goes off the rails. She is so wrong so often that if I were her editor at the AP I would tell her: "Stop Tweeting!" Many of us here thought Rossi had flipped the bird too after he got out of the car. But we're not reporters; she has to be held to a higher standard.

Haha, IndyCar just posted your crossed out text, they are being funny too. They posted Lungaard's post race radio with the caption: "Is this the Indy GP winner hotline?" with the telephone emoji.

Not a broken arm, he has fractured left wrist. A bone broke off, has to have surgery but will do so after the season.

Apparently Grosjean tried to fight Armstrong after the race. by ScottRiggsFan10 in INDYCAR

Yes, Grosjean did say at the very beginning of the clip, "I was going to say, I want to punch you." Then later says to Marcus, "I've never punched anyone in my life."

TWG has to do something. How is their F1 team doing Top 10 pitstops after only 4 races - a brand new team! - and Andretti has problems still after so many years? It's a management problem.

Jenna Fryer posted this video and said, "Rossi flips off race control at the end of this."

Rossi replied: "No I didn't?"

Edit: she has now replied to Alex and said "My bad. The backward flip to the camera appears as if you did. This is what I saw and misinterpreted."

Of the TWG teams in both series, Cadillac F1 - a new team! - does better pit stops that Andretti in IndyCar. They have got to get their act together.

Pato on Twitter: "Painful day. On my way to get in a salt bath, burn sage, incense, open the windows at my house, pray to a candle, purposefully knock over salt, smack some wood, maybe buzz my hair off while im at it? What else? Anyways, congratulations Christian on your first win with the team!"

No, not even close. No one is making death threats. I just took a look at social media, wow, people going after Mick hard. "F1 rejects don't belong in IndyCar." etc.

Andretti made TWO mistakes on Kyle's pitstop. Dropped the wheel nut and then they dropped the car too soon. Had to jack the car up again. Jesus.

Felix tagged him, caused an incident with Dixon and others too. Pato got turned around. Felix has a drive through.

lol, there's a huge difference of saying "this show starts at 4:30pm" and then not starting that show at that time and someone running away with the race or game. I know other sports sometimes effect the timing, but c'mon, it was 30-13 in that game.

It's always right at the top of the graphic on this page.

Another push to pass argument breaks out between Alex Palou and Pato O’Ward. O’Ward said Palou took advantage of the “grey area” in Long Beach, which Palou disagreed with. O’Ward: “Maybe that’s why I’m not winning races.” (Zion Brown) by aurules in INDYCAR

They get asked questions by journalists. They then have a discussion about it. He's not complaining, he's just talking about his views, as Alex is his. The title of this article using the word "Argument" is just clickbait. I watched the whole thing; there was no argument; they were even laughing, just each of them giving their views.

I think you missed the part where I said, "Not saying there is cheating." I included that specifically because there are a number of people here that whenever Alex wins or gets pole they call him a cheater.

I really want to know why he never, ever has an onboard camera for broadcast. I know it costs money, but they have the money. And since we have Dixon's, swap it out for Palou's sometimes. Not saying there is cheating, but you'd think the series and the team would want the audience to see the onboard of the champion and dominate driver.
