Re: Indy 500 2017
Which TV stations are showing the 500 in UK? Only BT Sport as far as I'm aware. BT Sport ESPN too which a bit difficult to access if you have Virgin tv from what I remember.

It would be interesting to see how they'd handle it. The old management had no problem making blatant team orders.

Re: Red Bull leaving again then?
It would make for a better argument if it wasn't coming from such a self centred team as Red Bull who left FOCA so they could secure a better deal for themselves from the commercial rights holder. Part of FOCA's objective was to make F1 fairer for all the teams in F1 so the smaller teams could be m...

Makes no sense for McLaren to leave F1 if they have any designs on winning again. Honda are proof if any were needed that coming in cold after time out means you're guaranteed to struggle. Indycar and Formula E are basically spec series except for the engine and drivetrain, of which Mclaren have no ...

I notice that they and Red Bull have a curious rear suspension. The push rods are angled way more towards the rear of the sidepods than the other teams. I wonder why that is like that.
