Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Impressive effort by Kaiser. Makes me wonder how committed McLaren has been to their 500 effort.


Not as committed as they should have been.
They had the delusional belief they could waltz up without any preparation and easily make the field because last time Alonso attempted it, he had one of the best cars in the field.

The new format for this year is a shootout for the last row.

And only swallowed their pride and ask for help at the very last minute. Serves them right.

What happens if they only get half the fast 9 done? Drop the times as if the session didn't happen, or continue tomorrow?

Weather Channel says Thunderstorms likely at 6:45pm local time.... I think they'll be there before then.

No, NBCSN just don't seem to get the concept of keeping the viewers informed about what's happening.

Just checked and ABC has pretty much as useless graphics.

Why not show a live running lap time? How hard is that concept to get :roll:

Because laps are measured in speed and not time.

I agree that the 'TV' coverage is not as good as what there was on Gold yesterday.

At least with ABC you're aware of the current average, NBCSN just shows the current speed and gear and each lap speed at the end.

NBC had a live tracker yesterday, no idea why they aren't using it today

NBCSN talking about the idea of Alonso/McLaren buying their way in.
