Was this the oldest possible podium out of the drivers in this race? Or close to it, I think Seabass is older than Ed.

Gateway was Sato (42), Carpenter (38), and Kanaan (44), a combined 124 years. This beats Sato's last win at Barber, which was Sato (42), Dixon (38 at the time, now 39), and Bourdais (40), with a combined 120 years. So no, Gateway was not the oldest possible podium combination on the grid, as Dixon in place of Carpenter would've been. Speaking of ages, RHR and Power are in their late 30's, with Pagenaud not far behind, then Kimball, Hinch, and Rahal, in that order. After that the rest of the series is in their 20's on down.

I think Ferrucci becoming one of the top drivers would be one of the few things to get me to actually stop following IndyCar, other than Tony George getting appointed chairman again or something.

Apparently we no longer give people a second chance. The kid hosed up royal over in Europe and burned more bridges than Kevin Brennan. But he came over Stateside where, last I checked, we believe in such things as second chances, and he's proving that it was worth it.

"Second chances" are the things people give you when you're a rich kid, like Ferrucci.

You mean Bourdais  For shits and grins I checked Mario's last win in 1993, since he was 53 at the time - but with a young-ish Raul Boesel and an actually-young Jimmy Vasser on the podium they only combined 115 years. Oldest total podium I can find so far? The 1953 Pikes Peak Hillclimb, with Louis Unser, Keith Andrews, and Al Rogers at 134 years.

Also, no second chances for nazis because they don't fit the first criteria of "people" anyone who is a santino apologist is a racist sympathizer hth

I mean why should he when PT is practically groveling at his feet as-is? To date, him being a pile of poo poo has yet to have any real, lasting consequence, and probably never will. gently caress him and gently caress giving him another chance.

Ferrucci got the boot by Trident, after his 2 race suspension by FIA. He is not banned from the series at all. Plenty of drivers have hosed up and lost their rides, only to turn up elsewhere later on without having to put up with people making GBS threads all over them. Allmendinger is one of the most entertaining people to watch this year when he's in an xfinity series car, for example. It's real rich hearing Newgarden himself and others whine about people "driving dangerously" in the final turns at Gateway after what he pulled on his own teammate in the same place at the same track just two years ago. I mean, this is a sport and people are gonna like who they wanna like, but crying about one driver's behavior while ignoring another's isn't gonna prove any point.

Second chances are earned, not given, he hasn't done poo poo to earn one other than be a rich kid for whom everyone looks the other way. He literally just admitted he learned nothing from his actions. Cygni posted:I think you are overestimating how much anyone is the US knows or cares about F2.

Newgarden's move on Pagenaud was two cars, at race pace, running side by side. Ferucci was moving at a comparative crawl and trying to dive for the racing line to block a much faster car half a corner behind.

In 2017 Newgarden was fed up after Power's zig-zag shennanigans at Pocono the previous race and wanted to make it known he wasn't gonna let people block his championship run anymore. He hit a teammate on purpose and almost put another driver in the wall as a result. It's the same thing.

I might, might be down for a Ferrucci redemption story if he did anything to show actual remorse or contrition for the behaviors that got him kicked out of Europe. Instead both he and the media seem to have this weird nonaggression pact of saying nothing about it and just pretending he's this impressive blank slate. Plus, I mean, come on, the dude just looks like a douchebag.

Yep, it’s this, combined with having Sean Hannity’s charity appear at least last year on the car. Using all the press you’re getting to say “I was a kid, I hosed up, I want to focus and do better” is one thing and a step toward earning a second chance, but he hasn’t done even that. Not even a fake-rear end reprisal of “well I was a hot-blooded Italian-American, you know how things get,” which is what he said after the F2 stuff last year.

Imagine that, lovely human beings can be good at driving race cars. If Ferrucci is as bad as we all know he is, he'll gently caress things over for himself in Indycar. Hopefully it will just be as a result of burning too many bridges and nothing nefarious on the track.
