I’m falling in love with Simon! What a gracious winner and class act!

[@theyoungjokers8617]

I live next to him we’re friends

[@SN13K3R]

Can’t believe this is the same guy who was being a childish idiot on iRacing

[@adri0095]

Bravo Simon et vive la France !! 🇫🇷

[@TOMCATnbr]

What a great moment for Simon. Too bad he isn't that knowned in France. But it's great to see that he find his place here in the US and that he receive such an amazing support by the indycar fans.
Well done Champ. You deserved it !!

[@konfuzon4270]

Pagenaud is a good dude. Talented, focused, yet humble and funny. The type of man that makes you happy when you feel he's happy. Hope he'll stick around Indy for long, although I think he should have another go at Le Mans...

[@graysinclair6572]

Congratulations Simon! You are a class act sir.

[@boodew-dp5jn]

Not the first Frenchman to win the 500 ,but maybe the first French kiss...... on the bricks!!! Congratulations!!!

[@allenmax8995]

an excellent and fun finish!.....Congrats Simon!......Happy for Hinch's decent run too. LOVE THE 500!

[@Kyle86910]

best drivers in the world at indy!

[@konfuzon4270]

I wouldn't put it so bluntly, 'cause it's not making much sense with so many different types of racing in motorsport. But I agree the Indycar grid is very high level. Actually I would rate Power, Pagenaud, Newgarden, Dixon & Rossi in top twenty drivers worldwide, and few others Indy drivers in top fifty.

[@Kyle86910]

@@konfuzon4270 compared in F1 indycar drivers are much better

[@CalixtoErico]

Class act. Terrific Indy ambassador!

[@8-bitsteve500]

Great guy and a well deserved victory. The last 14 laps were amazing!

[@StyrofoamCancer]

As Simon is trying to explain his overtake strategy, dude just interrupts him with a terrible vague question.

[@DonVideoGuy007]

That's Paul Tracy... LOL

[@37nezy]

I really wanted that win for him. Great dude that needed a great month after struggling for so long.

[@shadzgohan1474]

[@ianmilo9982]

Amazing Simon!

[@ragingbull154]

Indianapolis 500: Awesome Race
Coca Cola 600: Great race
Monaco Grand Prix: Zzzzzzzzzzzz

[@BenKill]

Well, it wasn't great, but it was definitely more exciting than the past 3 years.

[@antoineagostini8329]

Bravo Simon. Mais nous manqué Greg Moore sur sa magnifique voiture et ces prestations inoubliables à jamais.🚖🚘

Indy car.
Moto gp.

[@bleore]

Only driver I've seen to wear the wreath outside of victory lane. I hope this starts a new tradition as that is très cool.

[@sahuc3325]

Nice race Simon !
With Rossi, they made a beautifull end race.
Thank you

[@getswb]

Humility is our friend. You are a Class Act and a Champion #22!

[@YourselfAndEye]

This guy has great character

[@FrenchiKO]

As a French, i'm glad i could witness that

[@wellsmaciel]

Good man Mr Indy 500! keep dreaming and working hard to reach your target

[@rodneycaupp5962]

Is Simon wearing a Yellow Vest under his superman suit ? I love a good celebration after a victory..., that pit crew needs to join a dance competition.

[@insertname8889]

What did he mean with that? 4:29

[@konfuzon4270]

Yeah lol, not the clearest question ever... I guess (and Simon seemed to guess that way too) he's asking for the driver's view in the tight fight of the last laps, but he's got a pretty confuse way of wording it.

[@HalimNegadi]

Who is the guys on Paul Tracy's left ?

[@derekdavidson6738]

Townsend Bell

[@HalimNegadi]

Thanks

[@Chris-jo4yo]

Paul and bell two American open wheel racing legends

[@iamrichrocker]

[@husnainanwaar1992]
