This Sunday. F1 in Monaco and Cart at Indy
Will you be watching either, one or none?
Monaco is my favorite track so will for sure watch that one. While not a CART or Indy fan. I will watch for the first time in years just to see how Fernando does. Disclaimer: I do not like Fernando at all. Must admit though he is probably one of the best drivers in F1. Can't wait to see how he does at Indy. |

I'll definitely be watching the F1. Gutted about Lewis' qualifying though.
Would love to watch Indy (never seen it before) and although I'm not a Fernando fan would love to see him win the same way I wanted Hulkenberg to win at Le Mans. Sadly my wife said no chance to watching motorsports all day long so I have to pick. F1 it is!! |

I have to laugh as back around 2005 I was in the Grand Prix bar down close to the beginning of the yacht basin and the bar tender was an American. You don't see many Americans working this part of the world, so I asked him how he wound up there? He said had been a catcher for Detroit and they washed him back to a farm team in Italy where he met a beautiful woman. End of story, as he said is was never going back, or so he said then. I always wonder what happened to him. I have been back in Nice many times but never back in that bar.

Great weekend for racing.
While F1 is the main draw for me, and you listed the Indy 500; don't forget we also have the NASCAR Cola 600 this weekend too! |

Today is referred to as Race Day in my home. I'm a huge F1 fan and grew up in Indiana. F1 now, Indy in about 3 hours. Not really into NASCAR but will probably have that race on too.

I can't believe how slow the first responders are in F1 compared to the Holmatro safety team in Indycar racing.

Vettel is easily the best driver out there but with a car as good as the Mercedes, there are at least a half dozen drivers who could be World Champion. Alonso for a start.

I watch the Monaco F1 race, had dinner then watched the Indy 500 for the first time due to all the hype that Alonso is generating. I am glad I did and I am happy that Takuma Sato, a former F1 driver won the Indy 500. He was truly awesome and committed in the last few laps to hunt down, take the lead and thereafter to protect the lead from the 3 times Indy 500 winner.
