Episode notes

Charles Bradley and Mandy Curi join Martyn Lee to look back at yesterdays action at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 was nothing short of spectacular, with Josef Newgarden clinching his first-ever Indy 500 victory. In a heart-stopping climax, Newgarden executed a last-lap overtake on Marcus Ericsson to take the checkered.

But the race wasn't without its share of controversy and drama. We saw three red flags due to various crashes, including a frightening incident involving Felix Rosenqvist and Kyle Kirkwood.

We'll be discussing these incidents, the winners and losers, and the contentious finish that has everyone talking. We'll also delve into Marcus Ericsson's complaints about the late late restart, if there's an influence of F1 on IndyCar, and the safety concerns raised by superspeedway racing.
