Although I'm not a fan of his, I have to admit that he's one of the most talented and gritty drivers of this era. He also seems to have the absolute worst sense of timing of any driver of this era. Since leaving Renault the first time, he's tended to wind up at the wrong place at the wrong time or the right place at the wrong time. With his luck, it wouldn't surprise me if Monaco is a weather related toss up, with Button getting on the podium, while Alonso's Honda blows up on the last lap while he's in the lead at Indy.
Again, not a fan. But I like to see great drivers go out with some dignity. So I'd like to see him in a competitive McLaren next year, or maybe a return to Renault and a steady collection of points."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Is it too late for Fred to join Le Mans this year?

It looks like he will be doing a test drive at Indy tomorrow.
This is my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking

I think it was a smooth first outing.
Consistently in the 221 to 222 MPH.
Andretti racing definitely liked the additional data gathered today.
Would have been nice if he could have done at least one oval race before the 500 to get used to other cars, drafting and turbulence following others.
I love Indy Car, and super happy about all the additional attention.
Montoya and Alonso dueling it out for the win would be pretty amazing."Wives live longer than husbands, because they are not married to women" Colin Mochrie - "Whose Line is it anyway?" - The funniest TV show on earth!

Was great watching him go out and do his first laps. He was on the pace immediately. I honestly think he can win Indy 500. He is one of the best of all time so really there is nothing stopping him except inexperience on oval circuits. Whether or not experience will be enough to deny him his first win or not, we'll see in time. It'll be the first time I have watched Indy 500 in years, looking forward to it.
