Christian Lundgaard will be racing for McLaren in 2025 in place of Alexander Rossi. Well, that's the plan but this is McLaren so it could be all change by the end of the week.

Rossi hasn't exactly set the world on fire so it's not a huge surprise.

How on earth did Colton Herta save that slide?!

He certainly had a mixed day luck wise! No luck at all with the caution as he was the only car on pit road which sent him from 2nd to the back but yeah that save avoided a big old repair job for the mechanics overnight!

Oh yeah, for him to be in the pits when Palou binned it (rare to say the least!) was awful luck.

I'm looking forward to the second race, though I won't be staying up the watch it live.

Ah, thanks! In which case I will stay up to watch it

That was quite a pileup at the end of the second race.

It certainly was, show's how much carnage a slow moving car can cause on an oval!

From a couple of pages back, but I stand by my previous comment of Zak Brown being a bit of a turd: https://www.planetf1.com/news/theo-pourchaire-disgusted-mclaren-one-minute-indycar-sacked-phone-call

Not sure I get the logic of replacing Pourchaire with Siegel unless they're clearly stating the intention that Pato is their golden boy and anybody else on their magic roundabout roster of questionable contracts is to play second fiddle and bring in sponsorship money?
