Last-Lap Pass Decides Closest Ever Indianapolis 500: Race Recap

Welcome to Monday’s edition of the RaceFans round-up.

Comment of the day

Retiring while leading was only part of George Russell’s concerns in Canada, according to one reader.

Absolutely crushing for Russell, not only because he lost 25 points, but because Kimi was clearly the faster driver at a track that supposedly favours George. It does not bode well for Russell on many other circuits, where Kimi will be much faster.
