A little, yes. Not so easy to watch over here though.
Same here. I actually started subscribing to Superview so I could watch live, although I wish they streamed in HD. Just to be able to actually watch, though, is enough for me. It's such an underrated series that really needs to be broadcast internationally.

Excellent race today, the shower 10 minutes before the start of the race really turned things on it's head. Great drive from Hamilton and Verstappen really made things exciting at the front. Rosberg has been given a 10s penalty post race because of the radio messages, dropping him to 3rd, he's now 1 point clear of Hamilton.

Excellent dominant races for both Hamilton and Newgarden in tricky conditions. A wet track off line for Hamilton and broken but mending bones for Newgarden.I'd like to comment a bit on the he late Carl Hass, who did so much for SCCA F5000, it's precursor Formula A which produced David Hobbs and Sam Posey, the revamped Can Am in the eighties and, of course, CART and Indycar, with over a hundred wins and over 10 championships.
Sadly, I think Newman/Hass had some of the Andretti jinx rub off on their Indy 500 efforts, as they truly deserved to win that race numerous times. The only milestone missing from his mantle. RIP Carl.
Well downside to no cable and not being able to find a live stream (help please, message me if you know!) is I'm missing all this stuff
The F1 season has finally tightened up. 1 point difference. I knew Lewis' bad streak wouldn't last forever and I called he would rattle off a winning streak at some point. 4 out of 5 and now the fight is on. Nico is gunna have to earn this.
The move has gone as we would've expected, terrific for Max, sh*t for Daniil. Verstappen has thus far outdone Ricciardo, really one quite a tear.
Awesome to see Newgarden grab a win, and 2nd spot in the standings. Pag still has a daunting lead, but anything can happen. All it takes in Indy is one hot streak. Power has rocketed into 3rd, Dixon lurking in 4th. The gap is big but never ever rule out Dixon
Belated RIP to Haas, true legend of American racing.

Jeff Gordon will fill in for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. for two races, at Indianapolis this weekend and then at Pocono next weekend. My inner fanboy is psyched for this, although I doubt he has too much of a shot at a win. All of Hendrick is struggling this year.

^It is, really. Having a fairly lengthy history with concussions, I'm just wondering how long of a career he has left. The guy is engaged and has the rest of his life to live. I know getting a racer to climb out of the car is probably the hardest thing to do, but his health is more important.

How many concussions has Dale had over the years? I remember Franchiti was forced into retirement because he's had numerous concussions and broken backs and his body wouldn't be able to take any more.
Sauber announced yesterday that the teams been sold to Longbow Finance, who seem to have links to Marcus Ericsson's backers. This is good news as the team had been struggling to pay their team memebers on time this year, guaranteeing their survival, Peter Sauber has sold up all his shares, stepped down and retired now, Monisha Kaltenbourn remains Team Principle.

Honestly, I either a) was asleep or b) completely forgot him getting out of the car during the chase in (I think they said) 2012. It would be a shame if his career was derailed due to injury.
It does make you think too...I never really considered concussions a problem for racing drivers. I mean, it's logical with all the violent collisions, but the focus is always on other things. Makes me wonder how many others are afflicted with them on a 'regular' basis and/or just drive through them.
