    Ha, that's great. I met Fernando in Indy at the USGP in 06 I believe and got an authentic Renault pit/team shirt from 05 signed by him.

    I was 50/50 using that pic, or having him sign a pic of Adam Goldberg.

    Instead of concentrating on their monstrous fail in F1, Honda (who shouldnt have supplied engines to McLaren ) has their "Power of dreams" come true and now they have the fastest fwd car on the Ring
    Perhaps they can use the Civic engine for the F1 car, could be a little more reliable even if it is a bit down on power

    Anybody else following the quali? Looks like ALO is seventh heading into Indy's version of Q3 tomorrow. Only rookie in the top 9.

    Yeah, I've been watching it on youtube. Fern"u"ndo (the way the guys pronounce his name ) was 3rd quickest in his quali laps prior to the some of them going out. Really glad he made the "super" pole shootout. He was running without 2 of the rear wings (the little ones above and behind the rear wheels). 230+ mph average lap times.

    Also Sebastian Bourdais crash was nuts:



    He's in hospital with a broken pelvis. Could have been so much worse. Get well soon!

    Only upside for Alonso here is he would have to win it. Even coming into second will be another embarrassing flop.

    Haha, what? Second place at the Indy 500 for a rookie is far from a flop.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    +100

    He's a total rookie to oval racing in general. No Indy Lights, no NASCAR; nothing.

    Granted, he does have the benefit of a superior team and car, but still, even to stick it 5th on the grid is a victory in itself.

    Anyone else surprised that Alonso's engine just blew up?

    He needs to quit McLaren-Honda now and wait until the summer silly season to take off. He can be the first domino, because he's not going to be first in anything else this year...
