If you think Indy was boring, you should have gotten up for Monaco - - - a true snooze-fest.

But Monaco is always a lapping parade, except if it rains. At least Indy usually has more excitement than this year's did.

Well there was that fire in the pit. That was something you don't see every day. Fortunately.

Depends who you root for

Watching Vettel slam into a barrier was nice. Watching Button lap the Hamster once again was fantastic. I now know what it is like to have been a Tifosi during the Schumacher years and I find it quite exhilerating.

I don't know about you....but when I root for the Giants, I don't wish for nailbiters....I wish for blowout slaughters of the enemy team. Button and Brawn is giving us Brawnista just that.....DOMINATION! KILLER B'S FTW!!!

I consider myself a F1 fan first & an indy car fan second.
I woke up early Sunday to watch Monaco. About 3 laps into the race I found myself reading the paper, checking other channels..........
Unless it raining the F1 races have been a real drag, this has been going on for years now.
As for Indy, I thought it was ok. I just wish the cry baby didnt win.

this was my first indy 500 i've ever been to. it was ok i didn't think there would be that many rednecks since the chassis is italian and engine is japanese no hillbilly sounding american v8's . but it was ridiculous the people all around we're making fun of the engines the drivers from other countries yelling at the brazilian guys by us cheering for a brazilian driver. they kept talking about how the cars sound like civics, if civics sounded like that i would have one. this was my first oval track race and probably last i'll just wait for mid ohio. sorry to rant. i am glad a brazilian won since the rednecks were booing them

About the only oval tracks that are exciting have dirt on them.

Too many cautions for me. I was flipping back and forth between the Phils/Yanks game and every time they were in the middle of a 10 lap yellow I understand that in CRASHCAR people root for the wrecks, but it was disappointing to see so many at Indy.

Still a race I'd like to go to before I die.
