I feel we often do current drivers down and only come to properly consider their talents after a passage of time, but he's now got two wins and a total of five top three finishes. I'm not his biggest fan, as there is something about him which grates, but you don't have that sort of record through dumb luck.

I can't see how a protest can possibly succeed. Every driver going round a crash "in progress" is guilty of the same thing. Would make the result go from amazing to just downright rotten.

Wheldon was past Hildebrand before the yellow light came on anyway.

You could argue that being a good 'driver' and not a 'racer' is why Ms. Patrick does so well at Indy - it's as much about getting your car to the end at the front as it is about being racy and passing people. The contrast between Kanaan and Patrick is a good example of this today - different approaches, both made big advances on their starting places.

Being a good driver should see that tactic pay off at more tracks than just Indy and Motegi though. My pet theory is they just happen to punish her style less, hence she appears to run better at them than elsewhere. That tactic didn't pay off at Barber, as she finished nowhere, despite avoid all the incidents.
