    Oh the irony.. I can't quite believe Honda's claimed competitive and reliable Indycar power unit has died on Fernando here too... of all the possibilities I didn't see this one coming.

    Maybe the problem is Fernando and not Honda?

    Yes!

    I've been having a pretty awful weekend.
    My Crank Case Ventilation Valve, Oil Separator failed on my BMW X5 - $1000 repair job
    Chelsea lost the FA cup ( my fav team)
    Hamilton failed in qualy and finished 7th in rthe race
    alonso's bloody honda engine blows on him
    ...but Takuma Sato redeems it all for me after the epicness of 2012 this is awesome
    a bit emotional

    Japanese driver, PR redemption for Honda..

    Imagine how big a blow it would have been for them if a Chevrolet powered car had won after Alonso's engine failed.

    I absolutely agree on all points made.

    The 500 is a mere shadow of what it once was, nevertheless it was good to see a F1 regular dismiss Monaco for a crack at this event, no matter what the motives were.

    Unless I missed something during the last 15 or so years, I can't recall another F1 full-timer by-passing Monaco for Indy, since Andretti in the late 70's.

    Glad to see it.

    And hope he gives another crack at it

    Chilton!

    Alonso!

    Sato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was SO happy when he won the race. He used to be quite reckless but he settled down and held off a veteran for the win!

    F1 alums everywhere! So nice to see.
