@@plebiusjonbson823 Yes it's a good thing. He's not crying for blue flags, he muscles his way through.

The winner of the Indycar championship gets 40 superlicense points which are enough for F1. He also needs to arrange a test with an F1 team to at least showcase his talents. But the problem is all the seats are locked in the F1 teams today that even F2 standings toppers don't get a chance in F1 easily nowadays. Example : C. Ilott (2020 F2 runner up), De Vries (2019 F2, 2021 FE champion), etc. There are talks of new teams (Probably one of the Volkswagen brands) entering F1 in 2025 which will increase the number of seats available in F1. I would like him to replace Mazepin or Latifi if given a chance as both Haas and Williams are American teams.
Colton Herta knows how to drive Laguna Seca Raceway, even his father Bryan has won there too. Great drive for Colton, but I also give an A+ for Romain Grosjean for a 3rd place finish. Outstanding drive for Grosjean. I ❤ Laguna Seca Raceway, and the corkscrew too!
At 23:35 If it was F1, F.I.A. race control ➡ R. Grosjean to receive a 10 second drive-through penalty for hitting J. Johnson's car and making it go offtrack while attempting an overtake.
This track layout is beautiful, at 13:33 the helicopter view gives you some idea of the terrain, and how the track is designed around that terrain. I'd bet very few people could ride a bicycle up that beast of a drop they call the corkscrew.
Can't wait for full races for the 2021 season. This season was fantastic, one great race after another. 👏 Premier racing series in the universe at this moment in time, has been for sometime.
It’s a same RoGro night miss out on Rookie of the year when he deff was. Missing Indy and Texas really hurt that. Remember Indy is double points so he missed 3 races and still is in the hunt to win it which is amazing
True. Side by side was good when commercial breaks were ever 15 minutes or so, but now it seems like the entire race is side by side and recapping what happened during the break
The battle for rookie of the year is on. Hopefully Scott McLaughlin hangs on to it. He deserves it. Switching from the 2 ton V8 supercars he has been driving for 8-9 years to Indycar would have to be way harder than coming from F1. Way way harder! Even Grosjean agrees that Scott,s switch to Indycar was alot harder than his and that Scott deserves it more than him.
Agreed, most cars would go down the middle so sato letting the car role to the side of the track would normally be a good idea. Stuff happens. If Sato held in the middle its very likely he would of been t boned by the next car.
Not to mention that from his vantage point, he can't see anything over that crest until the very last second. You can't react quick enough to what you can't see.
He was on Sato for not stopping the roll...you can even see Dixon enter Sato's view through Sato's in-car camera shot. If Sato hits the brakes when he sees Dixon, there is way more room for Dixon to swing wide... Not saying the dude's a terrible driver, but he does have a history with some head scratching moves...
@@codymoe4986 But you have to remember, the in-car camera is mounted at least a foot higher than Sato's line of sight, probably a good 18 inches. So what you saw in the in-car video was not representative of what Sato could see.
Actually the announcer is right. Sato was right on the inside line when Dixon came over the crest, so he was forced to go to the outside to try to avoid him. I agree Sato was doing the right thing by rolling out of the way, but did he look properly before doing so, no. Dixon was well and truly over the crest by the time Sato had cleared the inside line. Sato was once again driving like an idiot. If you think I'm talking rubbish, pause the video at 14:20, take note of where Sato & Dixon are on the track, then watch the rest of the incident in slow motion.
Look at Palou last year : He drove for Dale Coyne, got a podium with them and now he's fighting for the title with a big team. Grosjean is more than half way through the same path !
@@Dipierox Palou is calm and calculating. Grosjean is a hot head who drives like it's a sim. It's entertaining, but I can see the Rossi path more clear with him. Anyway, I'm from the future and 2022 Indycar champion is Kyle Kirkwood 😋
I like Romain a lot, but he will have to get to grips with higher speed ovals like Texas and Indy. Say he DNFs or is just slow at those, he will have to nearly run the table on the road/street courses. Not impossible, but really hard with rivals like Palou, Herta, Pato, etc. In any case, very excited to see him compete with one of the best teams! Hope we get other guys like Magnussen coming over too.
Herta, Palou and Pato are the future of Indycar. I like their driving experiences and they'll get some great victories one day. Especially Palou is a step way back to win the cs this year 👍 And a word to Romain, he came from f1 into an indy cockpit and showed his experience. He must have got so much fun to fight for podiums after the long boring journey for p15-20 in f1. Good Job mates 👌 So let's look forward to the amazing track of Long Beach 😍
Don't understand the commentators going after Sato for that collision with Dixon - he was rolling off the racing line! If he stayed on the racing line and someone hit him, he would have looked like an idiot. No win situation, but nothing more than an unfortunate racing incident.
Question for IndyCar marketing: if I can watch "the whole race in under 30 minutes" at me leisure, why would I watch it live and spend two hours in front of the TV? 🤔🤔

If you want blue flag favoritism, watch F1.... If you are still on the lead lap, fair is fair...a caution flag and some good pit strategy can put you right back up front....if the superior cars behind you want to pass, make them pass...
@@codymoe4986 you mean every other racing series around the world…. And Jimmy Johnson was not anymore in the lad lap, he was lapped allready from the leaders…
@@codymoe4986 Jimmy is getting a lap down and Grojean is just lucky not to be taken out by him, Jimmy got nothing to lose as he is not racing for positions but doing such blocking is dirty.
There's no Blue Flag on Indy? Coz Jimmie Johnson clearly didnt leave a space for Grosjean to overlap him. Even if there's no Blue Flag rule that's very immature for a senior driver like him trying to ruin someone else's podium chance
@@amjan JJ shouldn’t have shut the door on a lead lap car with that much more speed. He knew he was coming and should have left room. RoGro prob thought there’s no way he is just going to slam the door shut like that. It was a mistake on both sides but JJ should never have had the car there
How does Grosjean not get a penalty for crashing into a car in the corkscrew? Seriously. That's not bumping, that's using another car to get through a corner to their detriment.
Probably race control saw it as a 50:50 incident(racing incident). Yes, it is not always a good thing to launch yourself into a corner. However, there could've been a time for the other car to react to that and widen the steering angle side-by-side. Late braking happened in almost all of the motorsport series. Also, the reason for Grosjean hitting Johnson was due to his turning in even though they were side by side in the entry of the corner. Not saying that somebody was at 100% fault. Just saying that it could be reviewed as a racing incident.
I find it funny that IndyCar does not show blue flags to the lapped cars lol. Jimmie Johnson was in no position to defend that cuz he is a bloody lap down. Slow cars, especially lapped cars should not interfere with fast drivers. I reckon had slow boy Jimmie Johnson not blocked Romain Grosjean as if they were actually fighting for 3rd, Grosjean could’ve got Palou for 2nd.
If they actually used blue flags in Indycar he would have went by him. Rules allow for cars to fight to stay on the lap so this is the logical outcome. Also probably would have win in his first race to but had to fight through lapped cars.
These announcers didn't say a word about Johnson's careless block on Romain Grosjean while 2 laps down on the leaders while these idiots go nuts on Sato. Good grief.
You cant go on a rant about Sato then totally dismiss Johnson's huge block on a charging Grosjean.. You seem to have favorites here just like those announcers.
Is terrible to see Grojean got block by someone with a lap down and this is not the first time I see this, so Indycar allowing such tactics added to the race?
They don’t have blue flags in Indycar which is norm good. JJ should never have shut the door. I don’t mind them racing but he should have stayed wide on the apex knowing RoGro was going to be there.
What a racetrack, what a race, what a drive from Herta and Grosjean!
Bigtime, Very nice track.
See grosjean can be this aggressive without the FIA being like 💥🔫
23:10 Johnson's engineer: Make him work for it...

In F1 that would've been a DNF for both drivers. 🤣
What a race 😲! Herta win, Grosjean great moves and Palu lead the championship, i love indycar
