Nooo Hunter-Reay I had money on you.

The slightly off-centered Honda decal on the back of Alonso's car triggers me so hard every time they show it.

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

I'm never buying a Honda ever.

Get one from when they could still make engines/cars properly. Pre 99-00 you should be ok. after that, sliding scale towards mediocrity.

 

[Vilix]

Jesus. Thanks for the responses guys. I had no idea they were this bad for ads. I suppose if you were used to it it wouldn't feel so disruptive. I feel so spoiled in comparison. I only watch F1 and a bit of football (soccer) and there are no ads during the race/game.

I've never gotten used to it. Nor do I except it. I cut the cord long ago. I refuse to pay for cable and have to watch commercials.

Maybe it's not a real Honda. Watch all the other Hondas go boom but his won't. :O

 

[BearPawB]

Watching american football im rarely bothered by ads.

But american coverage of motorsports is miserable

 

[Ensirius]

If Alonso's Honda breaks I will throw some shit.

 

[Orbis]

If Alonso's Honda breaks I will throw some shit.

I will genuinely cry.

Don't blame you. I know there's a caution right now, but my god I swear it wasn't 5 minutes since the last commercial. I genuinely don't think I'd be anywhere near as interested in sports as I am now if they were all like this. Like I said, I've taken it for granted and feel spoiled in comparison. I couldn't pay for this.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Poor fuel guy lol

 

[killer_clank]

Holy hell we missed the race leaders pit during an ad break wtf?

 

[thefro]

Kanaan is going to take Alonso to school on this restart.

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

sad fuel guy is sad.

 

[brotkasten]

If Alonso's Honda breaks I will throw some shit.

It would be insane. Absolutely insane. If I were him, I'd probably quit Honda immediately.

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

C'mon Fernando! I'll be so happy if he wins.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

Really another yellow?

 

[Lender]

Oh c'mon

 

[Theorry]

Another caution lol.

 

[Vilix]

Can we have a green flag for more than 5 seconds please?! 😡

 

[EnlightenedMint]

These yellows man

 

[Draconian]

How do you have a debris yellow immediately following a yellow? We're never gonna finish this.

My F20C is still good from 2003!

 

[dakun]

now i understand why i saw so many videos where Americans cheer for crashes. The amount of times they show the replays, they basically celebrate every crash on TV.

 

[Aiii]

It would be insane. Absolutely insane. If I were him, I'd probably quit Honda immediately.

Pretty certain that he handed in his resignation the second McLaren stuck with Honda in F1.

 

[Lach]

All these restarts not helping alonso

 

[Theorry]

Lucky bastard.

 

[Lender]

That was so close to being a big shunt.

 

[anarchycupcake]

What happened to Alonso?

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

My F20C is still good from 2003!

AP1/2 doesn't count since those engines & cars were developed during the good years. Really was Honda's last good car. Damn shame really. company lost its focus and became a boring toyota clone.

 

[kiyomi]

What happened to Alonso?

Some others in front of him haven't pitted I think, and then on the restart I think he got boxed in behind a backmarker. Can't be sure tho.

 

[FrankCanada97]

What happened to Alonso?

Had a poor restart and the first 8 cars didn't pit under yellow.

 

[RoKKeR]

These yellows are a bummer. Fun to have Alonso in the mix, but who knows how it will all shake out.

Beautiful weather at the track today.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

My F20C is still good from 2003!

My 2002 ap1 is still running right after 85k miles.

 

[Megasoum]

What's the (R) stands for next to Alonso's name?

 

[Theorry]

What's the (R) stands for next to Alonso's name?

Rookie

 

[thefro]

I think Rahal/Pagenaud/Davidson can probably make it on one more stop at this point.

 

[paskowitz]

Alonso is great in the running but he seems to fall back on the starts.

 

[Lach]

What's the (R) stands for next to Alonso's name?

Rookie I guess

Yeah . Glad I'm in there though!

My 2002 ap1 is still running right after 85k miles.

Ahh virtually the same on mine, 2003 and 83,000. Monte Carlo Blue GT.

 

[Lach]

Alonso is great in the running but he seems to fall back on the starts.

He had said in interviews that restarts are the thing that worry him as they are hard to train for during practice.

 

[thefro]

Alonso is great in the running but he seems to fall back on the starts.

Lots of the veterans basically "cheat" on that and gun it so that they start passing the car ahead of them when the green waves. Kanaan is the master of that.

 

[killer_clank]

These pit stops are a bit formula one 30 years ago

 

[nny]

Now that's the ultimate duck tape.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Don't scare me Alonso

 

[kharma45]

Five wide with Alonso in there. Squeaky bum time.

 

[Tubie]

This is intense.

 

[Lach]

Five wide. My god

 

[Lender]

Chilton in the lead. What a world we live in.

 

[FrankCanada97]

It's pretty amazing that they still manage 7 seconds and most of that is just refuelling.

 

[Vilix]

The thing I hate about American driving is all the crashes. European racing is much more civilized.
