Thank goodness Scott Dixon was not hurt.

If they don't launch a car they break off and become deadly debris, like the one that almost got Oriel Servia right in the head.

Remind me. Who was the braniac that came up with those behind the back wheels launch pods?

And congrats to Takuma Sato (and Honda).
Though I was rooting real hard for Helio to get his 4th. To bad the Chevy engine didn't have enough grunt.
