It looks like they finally tuned the car to his driving style, kind of sucks last year was like throw away compared to his first season with the midfield team.
@@sadiemasokiss916 I’ve ALWAYS said the same thing. Circuit racing is just going around in a circle also, very different discipline though, and at least on ovals there’s constant passing. And don’t get me wrong, I like circuit and street courses but some of them like Monaco are real snoozers.
I am so gutted for Pato, he had lapped up to second place and was putting on a dominant show like we haven't seen for years. Yet it was still exciting to watch.
Put on a dominant show like we haven’t seen since… Newgarden. At Iowa. Twice last year (the second of those was WAY more heartbreaking than Pato at Texas…). It’s almost like Josef and Pato are the two best oval racers in the series right now.
Years ago oval racing was just not my thing, but these past two Indycar seasons oval weekends have been the ones I've been enjoying the most. It'd be nice if you covered the whole Indycar season!
Absolutely great recap of the race. The race was mental, amazing, cut throat, absolutely on the edge of my seat and standing on my feet until Grojean's crash. Great race from Newgarden and Pato
Groasjean stabbed all of us Pato fans in the heart. I was so bummed in the stands, lol. I’m convinced it would have been Pato passing Newgarden on the last turn for the win
Im from Mexico, so the only way to watch Indy is through ESPN. During the broadcast one of the commentators said "With the way Grosjean is driving, either he wins the whole thing or he puts it in the wall". Let's just say he was spot on.
Much more entertaining than any F1 race. I've been to Monaco and other F1 races and Indycar is much more competitive and just try and predict a pole sitter or winner. Pretty easy to do that in F1 with only 3 or 4 drivers with that chance.
Gosh this race was intense. I'm not even mad it ended under yellow (although we would have never known if Pato could pass Newgarden), it was simply pure oval bliss.
Nice video! And what a race, Texas does deliver. Well except for the scheduled 2001 CART race that got cancelled because the cars were pulling 4.5 lateral g's in the turns which was causing issues for the drivers. Also the drivers were thinking the track wasn't really safe for a crash at near 230 mph. Yeah the old CART Champ Cars had absolutely god tier levels of grip and speed .
I didn't watch F1 when Grosjean was in his crashing prime, but reading comments on the F1 sub after this race that he hasn't changed at all really hurt. This guy must have been a different level of chaos in F1 lmao
Josef Newgarden is an absolute monster on the ovals. Just NOT Indianapolis which is an ongoing mystery to me. Another great video Will, thank you for the entertainment. PS, I've added another like and a new subscription.
See how positive this review was. The only dig that was left in there was at F1... so nothing new there. But i just love watching a Big Will Comedy Review without having to sigh every 7 seconds. Keep it up!
F1 fans… please stick around and enjoy, the product is finally getting better and better. We need the views and support. The racing itself is pretty damn good too.
For those who don't know IndyCar has a slow line and a fast lane in the pit Lane. You are only allowed to enter your pit box from the slow lane he tried to turn in from the fast lane he should have been given the penalty not Rossi
I saw some commentators saying that as well, but I saw multiple people pulling in from the "Fast Lane" throughout the race. Is this a written rule somewhere or more of a general guideline?
To be fair. I don't really blame Romain for that one, honestly. It was a racing deal, those things happen, see Michigan 2000 CART for a more brutal version when De Ferran moved right and took someone out at 230+ mph. I still don't really like Texas though, okay I know bits of why, it was the IRL's emphasis on oh let's have pack racing in 1997 (actually the 97 Tru Value 500 would be a good comedy review), and the side by side wheel to wheel with those cars, and what would happen in the 2000s/2011 put me off the ovel pack racing personally. I'm glad the cars can move around now and aren't side by side for 250 laps. That only works in stock cars, not open wheel cars though...
great recap commentary style. a little quick (perspective: not overly familiar with the recent indycar seasons), but I can rewind. I know there's the whole youtube algorithm to be concerned with lol
2:40 There are 3 lanes in pit row. One being the pit boxes, middle and outer lane. Middle lane is for people going into the pit box. Outer lane is for cars who have left their pit box and going to track. Since Rossi was in the outer lane and deciding to turn in at a 50° angle (not measured and maybe an exaggeration) to get into his pit, there is no way for a spotter to know and give their driver leaving the pit a warning - creating a safety issue for drivers Rossi deserved his penalty
It's Pato, Leclerc, and Nico because Nico was P4 in the last lap(s) of the Australian GP and would have been on the podium but the FIA reset the order prior to the restart though P8 isn't a bad finish.
Grosjean and Sato throwing it into the wall on those easy circle tracks. Good thing they don't have some kind of pedigree in some self proclaimed pinnacle of motorsport. That'd be silly!
Weave much, Joseph? Newgarden took one from Power’s, “He’ll have to crash if he wants to pass!”, comment / attitude (Elkhart Lake). Penske are the most unsportsmanlike team and have been for decades. Enjoy your laurels Mr. Turketarian, I’m not sure I could.
Grosjean delivered as always, making all the correct decisions, and then throwing himself in to a wall, this man is on fire
He’s used to it
The most Grosjean thing possible.
Yikes. Massive yikes. Always best to keep your words to yourself instead of being an asshole 😬
typical grosjean, he will be reborn for the next race
It looks like they finally tuned the car to his driving style, kind of sucks last year was like throw away compared to his first season with the midfield team.
Keep it up Will! We need the whole INDYCAR season from you!
Grosjean must be intentionally trying to hurt me.
It seems he's back in his old behaviour like when he started with F1. Fast but wrecky.
@@axemanracing6222 This really feels like his lotus days.
Both incidents were kind of understandable on his part but still, gotta finish races.
I need to stop watching the full race to root for him. So far every race I watch 100% has him wrecking out. Sorry Grosjean.
@@axemanracing6222 yeah because the accident before this was totally his fault lmao
Watch him in F1, he was almost always terrible. Why, if you do, do you root for this dude?
What a race. Glad some people in the UK got to enjoy some Oval racing. Hopefully the Indy 500 is this good
@MyDisappointmentIsImmesurable isn't all circuit racing just going around in circles? If you simplified it enough
@@sadiemasokiss916 I’ve ALWAYS said the same thing. Circuit racing is just going around in a circle also, very different discipline though, and at least on ovals there’s constant passing. And don’t get me wrong, I like circuit and street courses but some of them like Monaco are real snoozers.
I am so gutted for Pato, he had lapped up to second place and was putting on a dominant show like we haven't seen for years. Yet it was still exciting to watch.
I was in the crowd with his merch on and it was heartbreaking indeed. He definitely could have come out on top. Incredible race nonetheless
hes still champ leader with those really strong races!
Put on a dominant show like we haven’t seen since… Newgarden. At Iowa. Twice last year (the second of those was WAY more heartbreaking than Pato at Texas…). It’s almost like Josef and Pato are the two best oval racers in the series right now.
@psychlops924 Except Josef is weirdly bad at Indy...but a beast at every other oval.
Didn't palou absolutely destroy everyone at Laguna sega last year?
Think the Indy car stuff is a great addition. Been a huge fan of it for longer than I care to remember. Keep it up mate.
Thanks Chris! It’s a great breath of fresh air away from f1 I find!
Years ago oval racing was just not my thing, but these past two Indycar seasons oval weekends have been the ones I've been enjoying the most. It'd be nice if you covered the whole Indycar season!
Once you get it it becomes so interesting
Absolutely great recap of the race. The race was mental, amazing, cut throat, absolutely on the edge of my seat and standing on my feet until Grojean's crash. Great race from Newgarden and Pato
Love that you do indy now as well Will its awsome keep it up
Thanks man!
Glad to see some international recognition of Indycar, especially an oval race not at Indianapolis.
Love these Indy reviews! This race was amazing!
Groasjean stabbed all of us Pato fans in the heart. I was so bummed in the stands, lol. I’m convinced it would have been Pato passing Newgarden on the last turn for the win
That's what I think as well, Pato crossed the S/F line in front of Josef on the last lap before the yellow.
It looked like pato was literally practicing the last lap pass in the prior laps. He would wait, pull out, pass and be ahead at the line. Then roman….

A lot more entertaining than the official review! 😂👍
As a fan of former f1 drivers
Erricsson makes me happy
Romain makes me frustrated
Gosh this race was intense. I'm not even mad it ended under yellow (although we would have never known if Pato could pass Newgarden), it was simply pure oval bliss.

Yeah those Cart cars are pushing near 1k hp and with the amount of downforce they're making, the drivers are basically put into a large centrifuge.
I didn't watch F1 when Grosjean was in his crashing prime, but reading comments on the F1 sub after this race that he hasn't changed at all really hurt. This guy must have been a different level of chaos in F1 lmao
He was pretty bad at the start of 2012 but picked it up after he got banned
guys, tv donr justify Indycar you have to see in person to enjoys the total excitement. there is nothing like it on Planet Earth
That Defrancesco joke killed me. Great vid!
Thanks!!
Is it just me? Or did Grosjean crash out of every IndyCar race you covered?
Oh god yeah he has 😂😂
This is sooo much better than F1! Top 4 within a few car lengths on the final few laps, thats racing. More please 🇬🇧
The last 15 laps of this race was utterly legendary.
I'm so glad you did a recap. I couldn't watch it live but most of the time your videos are often more exciting than the event.
Josef Newgarden is an absolute monster on the ovals. Just NOT Indianapolis which is an ongoing mystery to me. Another great video Will, thank you for the entertainment. PS, I've added another like and a new subscription.
Thanks man! Yeah the Indy mystery is an odd one, but it’s also not your typical oval so maybe there’s something to it there
See how positive this review was. The only dig that was left in there was at F1... so nothing new there. But i just love watching a Big Will Comedy Review without having to sigh every 7 seconds. Keep it up!
YEAH! Another Indy review!!!
F1 fans… please stick around and enjoy, the product is finally getting better and better. We need the views and support. The racing itself is pretty damn good too.
Maybe a hot take but Indy > F1 right now
this time a video without Ericsson winning
Finally 😅
There are only 15 races left. Thanks for the laughs.
i was at this race and it was so fun to watch. getting garage passes and seeing them work on the cars from only feet away was really cool!
Love the indycar content! Keep it up!
Let's go another fp1will video
Thanks man, last video was awesome, this one is awesome too! Keep em coming !
Love the Indycar content.
A great video for a great race! Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for my home race in Laguna Beach
Great stuff; Long Beach is always an awesome race
For those who don't know IndyCar has a slow line and a fast lane in the pit Lane. You are only allowed to enter your pit box from the slow lane he tried to turn in from the fast lane he should have been given the penalty not Rossi
I saw some commentators saying that as well, but I saw multiple people pulling in from the "Fast Lane" throughout the race. Is this a written rule somewhere or more of a general guideline?
@@rabidclean it is a rule which is why the penalty is so weird
Great video summary - keep it going.
Oh MST F1 how we miss you.
I was there yesterday. Fantastic race!
Nice job again Will
The next F1 race is a month from now, Indycar rules.😂😅
Found this channel from last Indy race’s video. Subscribed and became a big fan.
Love the soundtrack also!
Thanks mate!!
'I'LL try spinning, thats a good trick" - Grosjean in anything.

Fanfreakintastic race!!!
Like this the Indy Car summary we needed🙂
great recap commentary style. a little quick (perspective: not overly familiar with the recent indycar seasons), but I can rewind. I know there's the whole youtube algorithm to be concerned with lol
I love the Indycar videos please cover more of them.
That’s the plan!
new subscriber and enjoyer of indy, enjoy all the race reviews

This was one of the best oval races I've ever watched.
Lmao.....well, hello again, lolol.
Hello again, INDYCAR !!!!
Nice video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
great video! thanks again for covering indycar.
☮️❤️🎵🤗🌍🏁
I find it puzzling that this track is such a bore over in Nascar but brings us bangers like this in Indycar.
normally Texas is boring or a trainwreck though
Grosjean races exactly like he did when he entered F1... xD
Thank you for deciding to cover INDYCAR
Wouldn’t be one of your Indy car videos without a Mclaren F1 dig mixed in
I’m surprised that IndyCar is getting views. Happy to see it
You Legend!
nice vid. new sub
I saw the crash live in a bar. I should get into Indycar.
Im looking forward to going to long beach gp for first time! Ill be looking for your review after
You would do numbers with a nascar comedy review
I thought indycar was popular in the states, but you have more likes than there are people in the stands. I was nr 310.
1:47 missed opportunity for shooting star meme
Well it was a parody song that got me into F1 (thx slim dane), so let's see what a comedy review can do
It's Pato, Leclerc, and Nico because Nico was P4 in the last lap(s) of the Australian GP and would have been on the podium but the FIA reset the order prior to the restart though P8 isn't a bad finish.
I missed this race, thanks Australian GP
Formula E? It's less of a lottery! 😆
No filters for your indy car footage ? Good review i recently started covering indy too
TexASS is gone and Old Texas is back
Great Ausie race, Indy at Texas still twice as good
YES!
Love your F1 stuff but take this sub to keep up with Indy!
Grosjean and Sato throwing it into the wall on those easy circle tracks.
Good thing they don't have some kind of pedigree in some self proclaimed pinnacle of motorsport. That'd be silly!
3:35 Faster McLaren driver than Danny Ric?
Keep covering indycar
Your restraint in commenting on the qualities of the venue was impressive. So much low hanging fruit.
Grosjean isn’t really trying to race, he wants too see how strong carbon fibre is. Allll the time.
What’s that retro video game tune in the outro? It’s funky.
Deltarune- rude buster
@@rexthewolf3149 awesome, thanks!
Does the 375 stand for the amount of incidents on track there have to be? Looking forward to the next 500 then
Gonna say this....NOT NOW SATO!! 😢😢
Please do the nascar road course races of the trucks and Xfinity that would be awesome
McLaren has Lando doppelgangers?
Weave much, Joseph? Newgarden took one from Power’s, “He’ll have to crash if he wants to pass!”, comment / attitude (Elkhart Lake). Penske are the most unsportsmanlike team and have been for decades. Enjoy your laurels Mr. Turketarian, I’m not sure I could.
Indycar is crazier than less clownish than F1
If you're into the all left hand turns thing
let see if this indycar video wil also blow up and destroy the f1 video. i really hope soo. also i like to ruin will's sleep schedule.
You’re evil 😂
Hi
grosjean fans always in hell lol. honestly i was impressed with his oval performance until he fd it up...guy was making moves
Wait. Stingrays are endangered?
Hey Will, are you enjoying Indycar? I think I enjoy your commentary here more than F1? 😮
I’m loving it!!
Seems that they lose grip far too easily, ultra hard tyres for everyone....
OVALS
Jesus, is anyone actually there to watch it?
tbf Texas isn't known to have good races and many fans boycott them due to the PJ1 incident
would be funnier if you insulted Ferrucci instead of DeFrancesco but both work as a general insult
