It did seem like he tried a Schumacher style restart. No onboard to be sure.
Not a bad race given the circuit isn't that conducive to passing.
I think Brazil is the main focus right now. Probably another South American race on top of that given Montoya's presence.

BT have the UK rights, yes.
It's free to stream if you have BT broadband, alternately BT Sport\ESPN is available on BT Vision, Sky and VM as far as I know.

Yeah, it was. A blind corner and no run-off didn't really give Hinchcliffe and co any room to avoid Newgarden.
Mike Conway takes the win at Long Beach, Will Power is second and the rookie Carlos Munoz holds off Montoya for third.
Helped a bit by the attrition, although he was in the top 10 early on. Munoz did a good job holding onto third there.
