Ana Beatriz Figueiredo is still injured, so she will be replaced next weekend at Dreyer & Reinbold by no less than 2010 ALMS LMP1 champion Peugeot LMP1 works driver Simon Pagenaud, who last raced open-wheelers in 2007 Champ Cars.

Here's hoping for a full and quick recovery for Bia. I hope she'll be back in time for her home race.

Here in Uruguay and several other Hispanic countries, it seems that ESPN will be showing the Augusta Masters on the main channel and French football on the other (Olympique Lyonnais vs. Lens, that is 4th vs 19th)

Update: ESPN will have only ABC races!!! The rest will go on Speed, which is an expensive channel that nobody around here has!!! Damn it!

Update 2: Speed's official website shows nothing about IndyCar...

Nor me - she really does seem to struggle when there is a need to turn both left and right.

If she keeps doing this "well", it might be time for her to start posing in the bikini again to keep the attention on her.

Don't think that I mind it when she does that!

Congrats to Will Power for the win. Im still heartbroke but it was a gutsy call and thats what they had to do to get Danica some track position. She ran a great race despite her finish.

Well done Will Power, glad to see him with such a dominant performance. Pleased for good ol' Oriol as well, a top 5 for him, I'm always so happy when he's driving a solid car and is given the chance to fight for a season!

Otherwise I must say I'm still not really sold on these double file restarts. Then again I don't even know if it's more the restarts or the drivers themselves...but I just don't understand the amount of touching that's going on with these cars. Always some incident, or someone pushed off. They really have to settle down. F1 cars I would imagine are even more twitchy and sensitive in each individual movement just because they're even quicker and most starts are relatively solid. So I don't know but I was just getting tired of seeing every restart potentially turning into another yellow...

...Which brings me to the yellows. A lot of the full-course yellows to me aren't even worthy. With a track with as a much runoff as Barber, I don't know why there aren't marshalls hopping over the barriers and pulling the cars further into the runoff areas, but every time a car stopped it was a full-course yellow. Road-courses are spread out enough to give you time to take care of a situation, while they are also long enough to make full-course yellows a frustrating, tedious extension of race-time. I know it's nothing new but it was just frustratingly apparent and bugging me lol (with the camera showing SO much runoff to pull the car into and avoid slowing that whole field down, which only leads to more wrecking with these double-file things)

The Briscoe/Hunter-Reay situation was also quite annoying, that just wasn't a smart overtaking area, just too risky to try a divebomb. I mean Briscoe did give some room, but he also didn't try to let up or anything, it was still HR's judgement call to say, "you know, I've got these reds, I'll pass him before the end of the lap. this just isnt the place." I know him getting by Danica in anger was probably a little feather for his cap for him to say "you see...it CAN be done!" but I mean it's your teammate, and her car was sinking like a stone through the field.

Well, can't wait for Long Beach, wish I could be there. (which just pangs me that I didn't go more often when I lived in LA!)

A solid drive from Will Power a great job keeping Dixon at bay on that restart. Also a great drive by TK, looks like he's adjusting well and TBH KV needed someone with TK's experience.

Oh forgot to mention Pagenaud, love the guy, you could see all that Enduro experience show, with all the right moves to get the car to the end, and a top 10 no-less.

TK really doing great, hopefully he can coup up those drivers and try to straighten things out a bit and make this Lotus backed KV racing squad a fresh REAL threat. Sato could use his advice on the intricacies of these cars and EJ Viso can obviously benefit from a countryman as respected as TK. He never ceases to amaze me with his great, calculated drives. He's such a great guy to watch onboard!
