No doubt he would have been in touch with Dick Johnson.keeping each other informed. So happy for all of you from a fellow Aussie, yeah we happily share our pride in you Scott along with your native NZ.
I remember back in 2013, he won his first V8 supercars race at 20 and they all said that he was going to accomplish great things in his career and winning his first Indycar race is just very special one of them.
Congratulations, Scotty!! Here’s to the first of many, many more to come mate. We miss seeing you at the front of the grid in a Mustang, but if you’re gonna keep bringing in results like this one, well…..looks like you’ve made the right call. : )
Good race Scott, great to see another kiwi doin a great job in the USA, you've a great team behind you and great family here in little New Zealand and alot of friends in Australia, don't get ahead of yourself, keep cool, to say your thinking of Queensland with the devastation there it sums you up, your a good man. Good Luck young man.
@@nate2611 Well actually my literal friend he started racing in NZ just before they moved and continued competing in both countries and has always officially been recognised as a New Zealander. But yeah Aus can take a lot of credit.
As an Aussie, I supported Scott in the V8 Supercars, because he is such a bloody nice person. Down to earth, approachable and remembers where he came from. Even winning here in Aust, it never went to his head. And I am just so happy to see him get his first win. I know last year he doubted himself, but I always knew he would succeed due to his determination and skills behind the wheel. Kiwi, Aussie, who cares, I don't, I just love Scotty for who he is. Cheers
Always behind you Scotty. Such a great person and race driver! 👊. Always new after seeing what you could do in Supercars driving a Volvo, you were something special. But to be an Indy car driver, not sure if that anyone could believe that! You the Man!
Great to see Scott have success in Indy Cars. Great way to start the new season. How good would it be for him to win the Championship this year and then return to race at Bathurst with DJR in October? You never know :)
Congratulations Scotty great to see you making a successful transition to Indy Cars it's really a fantastic achievement it something you will build on and your confidence will grow along with your experience. 🇦🇺🏁😊🏆
He was not holding them up, and was not slower, so no need for a Blue Flag. The Blue Flag only comes out if it is obvious the car in front is holding the car behind up.
Fine young driver...kept his eyes and ears open last year,and niw ready for the dividends.Also,showing j johnson it doesn't take 2 years to turn quality laps in Indycar.Remember,Scott raced sedans before this
This sounds bad, but I thank the Americans for taking Leigh Drippy off our Aussie hands. It’s been an absolute delight knowing he’s over there. Hopefully never to return to our Motorsports commentary in Australia. ( with any luck he reads this ) On a side note, we’ll done Scotty. I’m still a fan of the old school Indy car series.
Good on ya Big Mac! (Good friends with him, did lower classes and even tested for then Supercars team Stone Brothers Racing, now Erebus Motorsport alongside him)
Aussie Aussie Aussie!!! I know he's a Kiwi, but if they're good at sport and have competed here successfully, we automatically claim them as Australian.
I was super confused there for a minute... I don't really follow Indycar, so I was thinking: isn't it winter in Russia and isn't everyone cancelling international events held in Russia? Cause you know, that whole Ukraine thing. Then I found out that Florida has a St. Petersburg.
Even though you're driving a stinkin Chevy powered car, its good to see you have your first win. Miss you down under in a Ford supercar keeping that prick cheeseburger honest.
Why wasn’t that yellow car staying out of the way in the final lap? Are the rules different from F1 where they’re immediately told to yield? At least that small fry didn’t affect Scott’s chances here.
He dominated V8 supercars and now he's winning Indcar. Impressive. Well done Scott.
'dominated' 🤣
@@ray.shoesmith he did thoe 3 straight championships…. And moved to better sport
Make NZ proud Scotty!! We're rooting for ya 🇳🇿
Bloody Kiwis always outshining larger nations grumble grumble...
He is a Aussie now
@@pauledwards6446 he’s an honorary Aussie, we’ll give ya that.
nah, Grosjean will win
@@DaveyGa Aussies have won championships in F1, Moto GP, SBK, WRC and Indycar. It’s too easy
Great effort and to mention the QLD floods, class.
Yeah. Im safe (house) where I am but it has been touch and go all weekend and to hear him say that was cool.
No doubt he would have been in touch with Dick Johnson.keeping each other informed. So happy for all of you from a fellow Aussie, yeah we happily share our pride in you Scott along with your native NZ.
True champion
What a great ambassador for NZ & Australia, to think of others back here in QLD after such an emotional win.
Qld? What about northern NSW? It's 10x worse than the puddle Qld got
I fell out of love of mainstream motorsport just before Covid, as an Aussie I'm happy to see Scotty notch a win in Indy. Well done mate!!
It's St Petersburg not Indianapolis.
@@anthok6911 What's the category called? 🤦
@@MitchZero9 Sorry, I thought you said the track Indianapolis.
@@anthok6911 Haha all good. You made me check.
Wow, makes me think what if he was in F1.
We love you Scotty. A stunning win 🇳🇿💖💖💖
I remember back in 2013, he won his first V8 supercars race at 20 and they all said that he was going to accomplish great things in his career and winning his first Indycar race is just very special one of them.
Actually, he was still 19.
First indycar race I ever watched this was, I think I'll be watching more in the future lmao
Welcome to Indycar!!!
Why? It’s boring asf
@@ljnouata9088how is it boring
Congratulations, Scotty!! Here’s to the first of many, many more to come mate. We miss seeing you at the front of the grid in a Mustang, but if you’re gonna keep bringing in results like this one, well…..looks like you’ve made the right call. : )
Damn, now THAT's some good racing. Everytime I watch Indy man, I'm blown away by the competitiveness of it.
That's 1 class act. Amazing driver and person. Well done legend!!
Great to hear Aussie Lee Diffy commentary on Scott McLaughlin first win in Indy Cars.
I called Scott’s first win coming at St Petersburg. Future INDYCAR Champ no doubt.
It's a start of things to come. He just needed a year to get use to the machine💪
Good race Scott, great to see another kiwi doin a great job in the USA, you've a great team behind you and great family here in little New Zealand and alot of friends in Australia, don't get ahead of yourself, keep cool, to say your thinking of Queensland with the devastation there
it sums you up, your a good man. Good Luck young man.
Well he grew up in queensland since he was 9 year's old so of course he would mention the floods.
@@nate2611 Well actually my literal friend he started racing in NZ just before they moved and continued competing in both countries and has always officially been recognised as a New Zealander. But yeah Aus can take a lot of credit.

@Google are International criminals There's always an Aussie that can't help being a kient
He is a Aussie now
Always behind you Scotty. Such a great person and race driver! 👊. Always new after seeing what you could do in Supercars driving a Volvo, you were something special. But to be an Indy car driver, not sure if that anyone could believe that! You the Man!
Yeeeesssssss! Well done Scotty! We love you too mate! What an achievement, what a career. Bloody legend. 🇳🇿
I am from Germany and I am a Scott McLaughlin fan.
Good on ya scotty.. miss ya here in Australia in the v8 supercars..
Kiwi 1st ` Aussie 3rd - a great result.
Christchurch reppin 💯
Great to see Scott have success in Indy Cars. Great way to start the new season. How good would it be for him to win the Championship this year and then return to race at Bathurst with DJR in October? You never know :)
Always thought you were a bit special from your first appearance in Supercars. Great work, terrific win. Keep on, going on.
Damn, from V8 Supercars to Indycars.
Congrats to him
Give it some Jandal, fuck yeah.
What a little ripper .so happy for him . didn't take years awesome effort
All class Scott awesome 🍻👍👍👍
Good job bro doing it for the ANZACs 🇳🇿
Doing it for the Australian and New Zealand army corps? OK.....
@@nate2611 Lol You're literal guy aren't you. All good 👍🏼
Umm. Why don't you follow up by walking the Kokoda Track, then go to Gallipoli and litter the beach with some VB stubbies?
@@arconeagain What's wrong with you maggots? Did daddy not love you
Congratulations Scotty great to see you making a successful transition to Indy Cars it's really a fantastic achievement it something you will build on and your confidence will grow along with your experience. 🇦🇺🏁😊🏆
🇳🇿
What a race!
The man has class. We’ll done SM
Nice that Scott Mclaughlin is doing so good in indycar
Such a killer race & valiant victory 🏎
Yeah!! Mean asf Scott! Kiwi!! And Aussie built too! Go ANZAC!!
The cream always rises to the top , nice one Scott , looking forwards to the rest of the season
I loved that moment when Scotti and Roger Penske hugged.
Beginner here, why was the last car not blue flagged to let the leading car go?
no blue flags in Indycar
He has the right to fight for staying on the lead lap. No pussy blue flags there.
He was not holding them up, and was not slower, so no need for a Blue Flag. The Blue Flag only comes out if it is obvious the car in front is holding the car behind up.
Scotty a real class act
Good job lad.
Fine young driver...kept his eyes and ears open last year,and niw ready for the dividends.Also,showing j johnson it doesn't take 2 years to turn quality laps in Indycar.Remember,Scott raced sedans before this
Congratulations Scott First career Indy car win 🏆
He's a fast learner so there should be big things to come
This sounds bad, but I thank the Americans for taking Leigh Drippy off our Aussie hands.
It’s been an absolute delight knowing he’s over there.
Hopefully never to return to our Motorsports commentary in Australia. ( with any luck he reads this )
On a side note, we’ll done Scotty.
I’m still a fan of the old school Indy car series.
You're not alone in those thoughts. Apparently the yanks love him!?!
All the best Scott do is proud.
Good on ya Big Mac! (Good friends with him, did lower classes and even tested for then Supercars team Stone Brothers Racing, now Erebus Motorsport alongside him)
Not bad for an Aussie hero, I mean Kiwi yeah nah he's ours ...... strayyyaaaaa
Great job Scott, i have been a fan of you since you set the worlds first 2:03.8 at Mt Panorama
Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!
I know he's a Kiwi, but if they're good at sport and have competed here successfully, we automatically claim them as Australian.
Congrats Scott. Nice drive.🇦🇺
He's just getting started.
Get in Scotty! Yes!!!
Bloody awesome bro ❤️❤️👍
So happy for him.
Awesome win champion
Go kiwi
Hopefully the first win in a McLaughlin era of Indycar
he should have done a skid for us in nz!
Leigh Diffey is a great commentator in Indycar and Supercross
Gotta love him falling out of the car 😂
Mean bro
great work congrats.
This comes also in being in a great team and owner Roger Penske
I was super confused there for a minute... I don't really follow Indycar, so I was thinking: isn't it winter in Russia and isn't everyone cancelling international events held in Russia? Cause you know, that whole Ukraine thing.
Then I found out that Florida has a St. Petersburg.
I hope he doesn't lose the art of the heel and toe
On ya Scotty👌
Awesome driving
So much better than f1
Well done .
Well done McLovin
Even though you're driving a stinkin Chevy powered car, its good to see you have your first win. Miss you down under in a Ford supercar keeping that prick cheeseburger honest.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Full jandal Scotty!!!
go scotty
Anybody here after his win?
Kiwis can fly but those landings.
Glad he managed a win in Florida before the whole place goes as underwater as Qld is right now.
We all know what happens when Scotty gets his eye in.
Way to go Scoty
And do the Indy cars use ground effect?
A theory could be if NASCAR had a non points race at the streets of St Petersburg Florida
Not sure why Scott never tried f1
think he’s too old now
He would be sick in F1 if ever given the opportunity. He can drive anything fast!
Shot mate..
This was the season opener right
Yes
Roger Penske lost alot of weight!
F1 up next
Whose the Aussie commentator?
Does anyone know how grosjean suddenly passed both Veekay and Rahal?
i know! annoying the cameras missed it and didnt even show a replay
@@jeeveso Highlights were about Scotty's win, nothing else. Title says it all.
@@BatMan-oe2gh i didnt say it had to be in this video....
@@jeeveso So what are you trying to say?.
Been wondering about this since it happened
Glass act,
Australia stole him already...
That video was hard to watch. Felt like I was having a seizure every few seconds with the frame rate.
Who's Jimmie Johnson?
He invented the internet and a website that goes by the name "Google"...
Type his name into said website if you don't believe me..
Is there no blue flags in Indy?
Why wasn’t that yellow car staying out of the way in the final lap? Are the rules different from F1 where they’re immediately told to yield? At least that small fry didn’t affect Scott’s chances here.
Because in Indy Car there’s no blue flag rules. They just let the lapped car race if he wants
@@flameburstgt6503 he wasn't even lapped, has every right to fight to stay on the lead lap, even if it's the last lap.
No blue flags on Indy???
No Blue flags.
Would've been great if I didn't have to listen to Diffey.
...McLaughlin...any relation...?
No blue flags in Indy then ?
I'm looking to watch the race and then your title just spoils everything. 👎👎👎👎👎
Why is he all of a sudden a kiwi when Australia made him famous lost me
He is a kiwi that dominated the Australian Supercars series. Has always been a kiwi
Shut up he's always acknowledged Australia try and stay humble.
@@trinsol9794 ahh no idea what you’re on about, no one said he hadn’t?
That lead lap stuff is bullshit. Get outta the way FFS.
