      I'm starting to watch Indy in more recent years. To me it's more attractive than nowadays F1. I mean, since F1 changed to hybrids only one team is winning it all. There's been no competition at all since 2014. And it's strange, because every other competition I watch (BR Stock Car, Weathertech, MotoGP) drivers really have to fight to win a race. It's so boring to watch something you already know how it will end.

It will be business as usual at the next F1 gp! So sad...

      On road tracks that is certainly true, but on oval tracks the car differences are massive. Just have a look at this year's indy500 quali. Will Power who usually is a qualifying master ended up on the 11th row. Teammates generally ended up close together but drivers with other cars/engines had significantly different times. Sad that the car has such a huge impact on ovals. Makes it a bit more boring unfortunately.
