"But clearly his gearbox hadn't seen Unfrosted" God dammit 🤣🤣🤣
Ngl am proud of that one
@@FP1Will as you should be😂
That got me...bro never misses
I am still fascinated that there is a racing driver called “Stingray Robb”😂 sounds like a superhero in spongebob
I mean there was a guy named max speed in the red bull academy when they started racing in the early 00s
@@ShadowWalker-ng1it
Scott Speed
@@Chatta-Ortega right my bad memory strikes again
Whow I got 74 likes on this??
Scott speed is a very cool name for a driver as well🏎️💨
Who in their right mind names a child Stingray?
“One day those dolphins will get it I promise you”
…
😂😂😂 they are obnoxious tho 😅😅😅
@@traholgar Considering what used to be there (crackheads and hoes), I'll take the 'fins
they are so very american!
@@therwfer Very true - but having grown up not far south of there, I've been going to that race for 20+ years until i moved away - Long Beach was a hellhole until the late 80's. A lot of the reason for the improvements to the city were because they wanted the waterfront area to be far more presentable for the race - trust me the fins look better - though I do want someone in the fountain eventually 😀
I appreciate you covering Indycar. You've persuaded me to pay more attention and I bet others as well. I think it's massively overlooked because "It's not F1," which is ironic because that's exactly what makes it worth watching. If only we could get better TV coverage.
I used to wonder why indy was so popular in the states. It has quickly become one of my favorite Motorsports, and I'm a sports car fan typically.
O'Ward pulled a "I think Ericsson hit us" saying he was pushed into Rossi lol
And then Joseph Newgarden and Scott Mac had their results stripped from St Pete
yay pato won
@@thatautisticgamerrew
Looking forward to the Comedy Review bonus episode on that.
If there is data that ties Penske's PTP override method to race results from 2023, that's going to be problematic for Roger and for his ownership of the series.
"If the wheel is still straight, keep going"
😆 I love it!!
haha...give er. funny because its like nascar
The NFL on fox theme is still the best for Indy, good choice Will :)
It could be real starting next year. Fox and NBC are the two biggest bidders for the IndyCar TV rights next year.
@@danielhenderson8316the bidding is up to dozens of dollar.
@@danielhenderson8316Nah, Fox will give it something else. They tried flattening everything out to the football theme for a while, but everyone hated it, so distinct themes for each sport came back
“Not making a joke about that”
…Immediately makes a joke about gearbox killing itself
😂
10/10
😉
"Stroll Syndrome"! Love it!
Avoiding the veteran suicide joke got the biggest laugh out of me😅 Semper Fi
20 straight years with at least one win in Indycar is a record by Dixon that will never be broken.
After Dixon, who is second in the list of current drivers?
i think its will power until last year where he didnt get one
@@DamImperial You're right about Will's streak ending. I'll have to do some research and see who could have a chance of beating it.
@@AndyFromBeaverton I think it's Josef. He's won at least 1 race each year since 2015. He's at 9 years in a row currently (not counting this year 😬) once he has a win that stands this year he'll be at 10
@@psychlops924 You win a Winnebago! If he ties Dixon he will be the same age as Dixon today. So it's possible.
Will's streak sadly stopped at 18 years. I can't think of anyone going longer right now than Josef at 9 years. There's no other veterans in the field that could be a constant winner past 4 straight years like Alex Palou or Marcus Ericsson.
You would think Stingray Robb would be a safe bet in mounting the fountain dolphins at some point.
Rosenqvist had brake overheating, possibly due to getting something lodged in the brakes, which wrecked his day. You did him dirty there Will.....
I think it's awesome that Indycar drivers watch your channel.
Me too 😂😂 means I gotta be careful what I say tho haha
Hey will what do you think
about Josef and scott being disqualified at st pete
You’ll find out my views by tuning in this weekend 👀
Technically it was a disqualification of St. Pete, they just discovered what Penske was doing during a practice session at Long Beach.
Bonus episode please! It's too rich a topic to shove into the Barber weekend.
@@Parker-time yea I just realised it was at st pete
I was at this race with my parents. Had a lot of fun!
Fun fact: There is pretty considerable overlap between the Long Beach GP Course and the Proposed Triathlon courses at the 2028 Olympics/Paralympics, including the GP start/finish line on Shoreline Drive.
That's honestly cool. All sorts of racing history in Long Beach huh?
Absolute classic of a race. Competing strategies, comers and goers...amazing.
“F1 could never”🗣️
Will speaking facts on this one ☝️ 💯
First IndyCar race I'd ever watched, and it was quite an exciting one. Hearing this be called a fairly average race gives me hope that I can watch some actually exciting racing this year, given the current state of F1.
Next round is Barber Motorsports Park, where the racing can get really intense. I can't wait.
@@izzdin6228all while buzzing by giant statues of spiders, ants and a Bigfoot...among other things lol
This was a really good race! The split strategies and watching it all come come together for a battle for the lead at the end. That was incredible!
Indycar can get insane.
It's also very unpredictable. Sometimes they will go flag to flag and it's just a normal race. But also sometimes you will get 8 cautions and nothing but mayhem. You never know which scenario will happen at what track either lol.
Never thought i'd see the day "Fermats last theorem" would be used in anything other than a maths pun
When u realize this video is kinda out of date cause of todays news about St Pete and certain drivers being DQd from that race and the championship being all wrong,but other then that great video Will.
Typical luck that. Ah well can correct it after barber this weekend
The end of the race was tense. I will be at Barber this weekend so hopefully more excitement.
Enjoy!!!
Was at the race. A great time over all but man the last 15 laps were tense. You could literally see the gaps between the top 4 collapsing without looking at the times. And then the whole place gasped when there Herra rear ended newgarden…. Exciting end to a good race.
Tho I’m surprised you haves talked about the new tires that are designed for the heavier car with the hybrid…
Some recent good news is Long Beach has been secured for the long term on the calendar. Gerry Forsythe who used to own Forsythe Racing in the 90s/2000s (the iconic Players Blue livery) bought the rights to the race and said it's not going anywhere. There was doubt due to the rights to the race being held by the estate of late Kevin Kalkovan (Aussie billionare who owned KV Racing) looking to make a real estate development deal with the local government which would bring an end to the track.
So pumped for this season, interesting how the drivers are saying the new lighter aeroscreen is making the cars feel a lot more racey. I guess it's a significant CG reduction.
I love how you managed to round this video out to exactly 10 minutes. It looks good to the eyes, and my ADHD
Just ordered tickets for the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio 4th of July weekend! Looking forward to it. Last time I went to a CART race, the Cleveland GP was sponsored by Medic Drug.
You should be in for a treat since Mid Ohio did a complete repaving. Both Road America and Laguna Seca had some interesting races after they repaved last year.
Penske Penalties from st. Pete are just funny ngl
Keeping track of who was leading each strategy and who was keeping up with the leaders was fun. Seeing both strategies come together at the end to battle for the lead was exciting! Really good race!
When Dixon started in Indycar there was mich more testing. Teams would run like 800 miles and set speed and fuel targets, and I think that experience has taught Dixon how to both make time and save fuel better than anyone on the grid today
Yes and Dixon also had a shitty Toyota engine that couldn't compete in raw speed so they would try to win on fuel
mileage races instead and Dixon got reeeallllly good at it
@@Posirep Agreed. Makes me want IndyCar to open the development process and get multiple engine/chassis combos on the grid again. One can dream
Yeah the schedule is a little screwy, the main reason they have that 1 month gap is everyone heads up to Indy to do the first of the FIVE test they get for the 500 which is next month, and the track is either in use or being prepped for the 500 the weeks before, so this is the only time they have to get up there and do their test runs...they get the last 1 week of indy before qualifying
Part of it also was the Spring Texas race date going to NASCAR at the last minute and Thermal being the best bandaid they could come up with.
@@danielhenderson8316 ahh I didn't realize that's why the Texas race had shifted, I thought they just moved for money reasons lol guess I'm too use to F1 where money is the reason for everything lol
@@matthewnield3085 I mean, it kind of is because of money, NASCAR is a far bigger draw than IndyCar so they get priority when it comes to calendar spot.
And for some reason IndyCar wasn't interested in a summer race when it's 110F at night....
Well it keeps getting interesting with the Penske cars being disqualified from St Pete for manipulating the push to pass software and having it caught on the car during pre-race inspection for Long Beach.
Simon Pagenaud was in the flowers of the fountain in 2022
So Was Jack Harvey...in the same car in 2021 lol
But those damn dolphins survived.
And Grosjean finally finished a race!
4:53 I never saw it coming
While the dolphins still survive a driver did have a bad jump in the stadium super trucks later absolutely DESTROY the catch fence on the front straight. So that was something. Both drivers involved are OK though.
I was there and it was amazing. It was my first Indy race that I went to and the weekend was amazing!
That Unfrosted joke. Perfection.
Love the content, keep it up!
Appreciate it!
Some truly epic comments! You really enjoyed the race 😂
Absolutely savage!! But still some of your best work! Great stuff Will! 😂😂
FP1Will is an absolute savage, only rivaled by RPM
Just love Indycar
Ohhh I can't wait for Barber!
Best indycar and f1 summary vids out there. With a dash of dry humor that we all love
Thanks man!
Sting Ray Rob needs to pull it together and start making things interesting again
I really enjoyed this video. Race was was pretty good too. Sting Ray even finished like 19th I think. He keeps this up and he'll replace Logan Sargeant soon
Imagine!!
Hillarious! Thanks! New sub for sure!
Welcome!
It's been a month. O'ward declared the winner of the Grand Prix of St Petersburg.
0:40 Simon Pagenaud tried a couple years ago
Reading up on the Penske PTP violation, I have so many questions
How long was it going on
How come nobody acted on it sooner. Marshall Pruitt made the point that the team and the engine manufacturer have access to all the data. One team reported it in 2023 but apparently nothing got done
How many other series is Penske cheating in?
An ex data engineer for another team put an interesting post on the Indycar subreddit that's worth a read. He said that if they were going to cheat they'd have gone about it a lot better, this was most likely a very sloppy oversight that rightfully cost them the results.
Love the show!!
2:48 holy shit!😅😅
I was waiting for a late edit regarding the Penske disqualification from long beach. You know 2 months later
Now you have to do an addendum to the St Pete race video because of Team Penske basically cheating on the "push to pass" system.
It seems that IndyCar doesn't have a copyright on inconsistent rulings by the race stewards.
Thx will.
Great video!! I was there 😎😎😎
Hope you enjoyed it!
@FP1Will Thanks 🏁 love the series, keep it up and explore whatever content/styles you like, I'll watch it
Any chance of you reviewing the British Touring Car Championship this weekend? Pleeaase!!
If you want more close battles for the lead, you should start to make MotoGP comedy reviews! Single seaters will never feel the same again lol
I honestly would watch Indycar more often if it wasn't on the stupid Peacock streaming service. I've got enough monthly subscriptions and I refuse to add another for just sports.
NBC motorsports RUclips channel does a decent 10 minute or so race recap, usually within a few hours of the race.
Better than not seeing the race at all.
The IndyCar channel has 5 to 30min recaps of the races a day or 2 after the event, as well as extended on-board cockpit footage, interviews, and other stuff. It's not the day of, and the whole race, of course, but it is free. The extended highlights recap can make sometimes boring parts of races feel more interesting, as it of course chooses the best parts.
yall just have to up your internet game
I don’t even have peacock in Canada
Their races are also on either real NBC you can get with an antenna or on USA as well.
Just let's it rip, no clench necessary.
£20 says Newgarden will punt Herta out of the lead of a race before the end of the year.
You are the fricking best!
best race was IMSA Daytona but this ruled too
7:43
Sounds like every F1 driver other than Max, Carlos, and Checo 😅
Are you a time traveller? Bro was here 14 hours ago 😂
@@DatBoiGloomyi think he is a patreon member as they get there earlier :)
what's the song in the title card?
And for the Penske cheating scandal special, this show is now, officially known as: “The show that doesn’t cheat in its series like Penske does.” (This pun was made in reaction to the Penske Cheating Scandal from Tampa/St Pete).
Also the only thing I would like to see changed, is (so long as you don’t get busted by the copyright cops) the 1999-2018 ESPN/ABC Indycar theme song get used in the open. It’s the best open wheel racing theme song BAR NONE
Penske was just DQ'd from St Pete. Pato awarded the win. Push to Pass major violation.
Your jokes always have me rolling mate!
Glad to hear it!
Long Beach is Indy’s Monaco
Except it's actually a good race 😊
Might as well add WEC to the rotation
0:45 The course only started going around the dolphins around the turn of the millennium. That said, "Back of the Pack Jack" Harvey almost tried in either 2018 or 2019...
That's when the Dolphins were put in. As far as property damage, the best we've gotten is Simon Pagenaud destroying some of the flower bed last year.
@@danielhenderson8316 ruclips.net/video/rTC_u8OJV_E/видео.html It was 2019, and Ericsson gave Harvey the assist. Pagenaud made sure the 60 car kept up the habit in 2022.
any hope of a Super formula comedy review?
\
I'm having an utter shite day... thank you for making it slightly better 🏎 👍
Hope it gets easier mate!
Penske got disqualified from st Pete. Just incase everyone didn’t know
It was a good race.
Reminds me you still owe us a naked run around Monaco
Don’t know what you’re on about
I’m still waiting for him to talk about nascar again 😢
That poor chair.
Would you consider doing this kind of video for WRC too? 👀
If I had the time and knew the series a little better potentially. But I’m working a full time job on top of this so right now it’s not feasible sadly
"Sting Ray Rob"...
Really???
What a japseye.
It was a great race but not many people watched it
We'll be seeing Logan Sargeant here soon.
He certainly has the money to buy his way in. Back markers are taking $9M off Sting Ray Robb to let him play racing driver so Sargeant could outbid him for a seat.
Yo Will no video on prema joining Indycar 😢😑
Completely slipped my mind 😭
0:31 * At the time
Yeah that aged well didn’t it
No mention of Grosjean WOAH! He didn’t get it wrong I guess.
He got p8 in the race the commentators just decided to ignore that
@@hannahbarley97 YAAAAAY. He didn’t CRASH. P8 that’s not bad!
Tell me who do you think will be the first to end up in the fountain and why it will Grosjean?
Pagenaud nearly managed a couple years ago, he got as far as getting stuck in the flowerbed.
No comment on the massive Team Penske penalty?
Video was made before all that happened
@@FP1Will ahhh ok. Fair enough.
Colin Brauns presence was clearly missed by everyone in Long Beach
Who?
@@FP1Will the greatest Indycar driver of all time
Did the ai race video got taken down?
Sadly yes
That was one of my favourites
You posted this after the news from today. How could you leave out the fact that Indycar disqualified the Penske cars for St Petersburg? Only 5 weeks after the race.
Persona and ffx? Or have i just gone mad?
Nope you’re spot on!
@@FP1Will thank you for answering and saving my sanity! i can now rewatch and listen to what you're saying instead 😄
Will Power has the most American name .. for a non Americana
mate you are fucking hilarious hahahaha
Thanks man!
Fox P1comedy review...
Any racing thats comparable to F1 in the 70's,80's i will watch ,F1 now is hard boreing work they should bring back refueling .
funny
