The AMR guys are the best in the business. Hands down. I do anticipate they had radio communication with Rosenquist and they prioritized appropriately.... and I really hope that NBC covers that and shares the radio chatter today during the Gateway race to highlight their prioritization process as a good thing, and to clear up any (hopefully) misconceptions that they just didn't get to Rosenquist immediately. These guys 100% deserve the airtime to keep their reputation fitting of their awesome performance. I remember watching and thinking, "that is not like the Holmatro crew at all to be that late, especially to a guy that almost caught the fence", but then realizing they probably got an ok and put all hands on deck to right Sato's car, as TBell said on the broadcast.

For those who say IndyCar shouldn't be at Pocono, Indy cars have raced there since 1971. This accident is not track safety issue, it's a result of a driver acting in a reckless and unsafe manner.

@AEMoreira81 5 жыл бұрын

Drivers have to know that you can't do certain things in certain places. Typically there will be problems with brakes, especially into Turn 1, but you can't go into the first corner like that on the start or re-start unless it's a re-start after the race is official and severe weather is nearby (where it may be a race for the final lap).

@IStandAlone1 5 жыл бұрын

I used to go watch Indycar there as a kid. The difference is they were doing 190 as opposed to 220. There were no huge multicar crashes like this in the 70's and 80's. They should lower the boost and slow them down to the point people don't have to make these insane moves to pass. If people are blaming Sato I guess they blame Wickens for his wreck too?

Sato got a huge run on Rossi and tried to squeeze through a non-existent gap to get by Dixon. Sato's always been a charger (case in point: 2012 Indy 500) but this is the second year in a row this has happened early in the race. You'd think after what happened to Robert Wickens, the drivers would be a little more cautious and realize that there's still 498.5 miles to go.

@AEMoreira81 5 жыл бұрын

In NASCAR, in 2012, after a restart, there was a crash just like that. But there was rain approaching and they really were racing as though it would be near the end. (That race never re-started as it was called for rain on the ensuing caution; a fan was killed by lightning.)

Sato has a reputation.... And a not so good one... However after looking at all the footage and in car cams it really does seem he's not at fault. He was going straight and got hit in the left rear. Rossi and Hunter-Rey look more like the culprits... That said, all the drivers can do a better job respecting space and time.... Not the track's fault for sure.

I'm an F1 fan and I don't understand why Sato still drives in Indycar 1) Sato is old 2) Sato is the only F1 driver for the last 15 years who has been disqualified twice in the season 3) Sato couldn't finish more than quarter of his races during his F1 career
