McLaren lost Christian Lundgaard’s race at Barber, and guess who won

Last year, I was at the Grand Prix of Alabama, and I had no patience for everybody’s whining about how uninteresting it was to watch an Álex Palou beatdown there. This time was different, and not just because I (sadly) wasn’t there. This wouldn’t have been a beatdown if Arrow McLaren hadn’t absolutely gagged on Christian Lundgaard’s last pitstop. I said it on the skyline, and I’ll say it again here:

There is too much choking in the pits in this championship

I was glad to see Graham Rahal get a good result because it gives me hope for the RLL resurgence; the series needs another competitive team, and Mick Schumacher needs a competitive car. Mick is clearly taking some time to bed into IndyCar, but I continue to believe he can get his sea legs.

I am beginning to worry about Will Power, but I will keep the faith.
