    Not yet. Not until they all run. I think he as a great chance at the front row.

    It honestly doesn't matter if he takes poll. The fact that he's that fast is what matters.

    Ah right, bit like the 2003ish F1 qualifying format, all do their laps with no one else on track.

    Looks like he's starting 5th.

    Bloody well done.

    Very impressive performance by Fernando. Just a natural racer and was able to adjust to the feel of a high-speed oval to rank among the best Indy car drivers.

    Three of the top-5 are/were F1 drivers. Surprised to see Rossi up in 3rd position.

    Fred proves his class again. The guy is a legend and deserves a proper f1 car asap!

    I've never watched an Indy race before, but I'll definitely be watching next weekend! I'm so much more excited about this than the procession that will be the (dull as dish water) Monaco GP...

    'Not surprised either but Rossi's win was not as attributable to speed as it was to strategy. He started 11th. ;)
    Other recent rookie winners: Juan, 2000, started 2nd and had not been an F1 driver. helio, 2001, started 11th and was not an F1 driver. It all comes downt to the quality of the preparation, the setup, strategy, and.....luck.
    Generally speaking, those with all of the above are all dang good drivers anyway, That's why they get the seats that can win. :)
