I think Sato reuniting with RLL is quite possibly the best career move he’s had. (Sorry Andretti.) It’s amazing that with RLL, he gained 4 victories and has shown to be a better championship contender but can still improve. Sato should continue to drive smart and really know when to be aggressive or not. (Even if it’s his trademark, No Attack No Chance is not always the way)
@@CoSmicGoesRacing Sato is not always attacking recklessly, so he is a lot smarter than he was in F1. He had lost a few chances to win in F1 but he has won several races in Indy which means he has been still improving. He is definitely one of the greatest.
@@yuichishimasaki Sato needs to be consistent if he wants to win an IndyCar championship, of which, he has yet to show. He cannot have flashes of brilliance every few races. He should prove that he can keep this kind of momentum the rest of the season.

I know. I dont want to be hard on him but if he wasnt an Andretti he might be fine by now. When did he last win? 2011. Pole at indy is a great career stat to have though, so hope it gives him a boost. So happy for Sato,

I wish i was that competitive and aggressive as both Sato and Dixon are in their 40s! Indy has finished three times with Dario under yellow and one with Kanaan under yellow as well. They never needed GWC and they never will. Stop trying to turn indy and any other sanctioned body into NASCAR I'm not sure if it's a matter of luck by now but the fact Alonso's teammate, a 21 year old from Mexico who hs has never raced on the indy 500 before, has finished 6th speak volumes to me Great result from soon father-to-be Rahal as well! A podium is so much better than last year's DNF. Gutted for Rossi and Palou. They were locked in for a promising result, maybe even a victory. Overall, great race! As usual one of the best races of every year if not the best! Looking forward to Gateway, a track where Sato won last year!
Exactly! I've been watching the Indy 500 for the past 20 years and have seen numerous finishes under yellow. Lots of fair weather fans or Nascar fans who think every series should have a GWC finish. I'm a fan of both, but hated the playoffs and GWC finishes.
@@Mikertt i hated the one at Daytona for obvious reasons. The only one i liked was Kentucky's this year. No wonder why people call it the UFC/WWE of motorsport, for people who think good finishes consist on cars being torn up and drivers getting hurt until they reach the white flag (if they ever do) Also, i wonder where were these people when Dario won all his 3 under caution, same with Kanaan
@@andrewtan881 it likely would have taken far too long, considering how hard Pigot's car hit. A green-white-checker would have been exciting, but I don't think everyone would have wanted to wait 30 min or an hour of red flag for 3 or 4 more laps. That piece of gear likely just saved someone's life, so it was better to take the less-exciting decision, IMO.
@@andrewtan881 It would take probably an hour and it was getting dusky already. Also, there would be just a huge crash with the cold cars and winner would be a coin toss. Nascar is in another castle.
Wondering...if the red did fly, would the drivers be allowed to get out of the car during that long repair? I know you can't work on them but I "think" you have to stay in them too. That may have lost the race for both the 40 yr olds up front.
Amazing race, I thought that Scott Dixon will win the race, because since the first lap, him was dominating the race, but Takuma surprise him, make a excellent overtake and get the victory. Indy 500 is always a box of surprise. Congratulations Takuma.
Glad Spencer's ok could have been more worse without a halo tough season for Rossi he was my pic yesterday 104th Indianapolis 500 pit road incident late coast him.
I'm pleased Spencer's fine but a halo would have done just as good of a job as the aeroscreen (which did it's job), though I'm not yet convinced either having one or the other or neither would have made much if any difference in this particular circumstance.
Where is Alonso? WHat a JOKe! What a joke! Hihihihi! this proves once again how Overrated he is! He retired from F1 saying he is too good for F1, and now his races in America are awful...
I have been watching f1 25 years and just cant continue anymore. It has become atrociously mundane and predictable. Indycar is the polar opposite. Anything can happen
@@treasurecave431 Hopefully. Have you watched the full Indycar season last year? Man compared to F1 it was so refreshing to hear open wheel racing cars with screaming engines like that.
I have stopped watching F1 a long time ago. I just don't find it exciting anymore. Alonso should've stayed with Indycar. But I guess he always missed his F1 glory days, and European racing scene in general. He never seemed 100% focused on Indy.
@@timzy4395 agreed 2017 was awesome, it was only time so far the only Indy I ever went too. If I can go every year I would. Just one question, do the Indianapolis police block off the main road to the track every year or was that just because the VP was there? Even after the race the Interstate was blocked
Yeahhhhhhhhh Takuma good job!!!!!!!!! You are definitely treasure of Japan!!!! Japanese car race fan must be proud of you!!!! Thank you for your amazing race Takuma!!
They call it "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" for a reason. It delivered. Ok, Yellow [finish] was controversial , its not the first time and wont be the last. Congrats to Sato. He earned it [as did the last one] .
Greatest racing spectacle is somehwhat of an over statement. Pikes Peak Hillclimb, Isle of Man TT, moto GP is super interesting at times and any WRC race, especially the one in the snow is very amazing too.
As I said, its [yellow] controversial and much as I would love a green to chequered flag , it seems to be tradition to finish under yellow when a crash [of which there were plenty, hence 'Greatest spectacle in Racing'] happens right at the end [of race]. Compare that to modern F1 when races are won [by a certain driver in a certain Mercedes] before they have even started. Had there been a green to chequered at last Sunday's Indy, there were any of at least 3 or 5 drivers who could have won but it was the controversial Yellow that handed it to Sato in the end. It seems to be the rules and rules are rules.
Race should of been red flagged @ 6:21 nice way to ruin a good race. Also you might want to look into caution laps not counting as official laps. You waste so many laps. Caution comes and the driver pit. Make it so they don't advance in position.
Amazing race 🏎️🏎️ I give credit to Taku for winning the race ! I love watching Indy 500 racing 😍😍🎧🎶🎵❤️😎! Great race car drives like Helio Castroneves and Scott Dixon and Tony kanaan , Mario Andretti and Michael Andretti and Alexander Rossi and Sato Taku! Legend race car
Hope you can watch the 2 gateway races happening next week they are usually just as exiting as the Indy 500 and traffics becomes an even bigger factor in 1.25m/2km oval
I was gonna watch the Nascar Dover Race on FS1 since we had much channels than last time, that wasn't until our cable got messed up and we've been trying hard to fix it but it's still malfunctioning. That wasn't until I realized that our cable might've been expired the day before the race. So I was thinking to myself "What should I watch?", and I saw this in the Guide and so I watched the Indianapolis 500 instead. It was a great race. Congrats to Sato btw!
Any updates on Spencer Pigot? I know he got out of his car on his own but he was transfered to a hospital later, and I want to know if he's got any serious injuries

legit decision at the end. you cannot race with that pit barrier in that condition, its life threatening, you need to repair it properly
Would’ve been more exciting if they red flagged it though. That way they can repair the barrier and then carry on the last 5-ish laps under green.
