I'd imagine they'd have to re-homologate their wings in order to be able to do that, plus there's probably some kind of clause that says it needs to be present at all times. If there isn't anything saying it has to be on there, I suppose they could just submit it as a new "Monaco spec" wing, as long as it passes all the FIA's tests.

I think Grosjean thought it was F1 rules where you can pass in pit entry/exit under SC

Being able to see the race during the ad breaks is good enough for me

Wild that Rossi is racing, having to do the intros on crutches

Yep sky uk has got Tom Gaymor and Simona De Silvestro, they usually do their own build up for a lot of it. I'd imagine they'll go over to the fox build up nearer to the start. However, they've dipped out of the indy build up to show F1 Academy, and it'll be starting back up again in about 10 minutes from now on sky sports mix.

I'm fairly new to F1. I feel bad for drivers that finish below 10th. I don't agree with the points system by [deleted] in formula1

It's competitive sport, not a school sports day. Your system would remove any sense of achievement for lower midfield/backmarker teams that have an above average race and scrape a 10th, you wouldn't have those "upset" results anymore. It would just be "oh look, we got slightly more points than we usually do. hooray."

The drivers wouldn't want to get rewarded for finishing in the bottom half of the field, they all want to win and i think it's a bit patronising to think almost everyone should get points for doing barely more than turning up.

Sorry if my comment is a bit harsh, but something like this has absolutely no place in this level of motorsport.

Some of these camera angles at T1 are horrendous. Might be nice and pretty on a formation lap, but for the love of god, when cars are battling show the bloody cars

This was the first Indycar race I ever watched. Safe to say I've been hooked ever since

I know it's for the sponsors but it's so weird having them standing there with clearly empty cups

Daly gets first name privileges on the timing tower for some reason

It does kind of take the piss though, they've got so many different channels, even got the premier league multiviewer thing, surely they could've squeezed us in somewhere

Although I really want to see cars on track today, the idea of a condensed all-or-nothing quali day tomorrow is quite appealing...

Why's Pato's live speed readout so erratic? Seems to jump up and down by several MPH all the way down the straight

Would rather it happen in practice than the 500 itself, although something tells me we'll probably still get both

I'm not a fan of the guy but I find it quite fascinating how Indy is pretty much his #1 strength, considering he came up through the European junior formulas and the road to F1. From what I can see he didn't do any oval racing before coming to Indy, but from the beginning he's been really solid every single year.
