Rossi's dominating shows what could have been in F1. Certainly he shaken up the establishment. Best of the modern era, not comparable to different eras of racing here

Not sure if they could have had a better view than the straight above shot shown on the broadcast but assume they had access to it. The move that Dixon seemed to be objecting to was when Rahal took the inside line exiting the sharp right hand corner (sorry don't remember the turn number). This was clearly in anticipation of, not in reaction to, where Dixon was heading. If Dixon had then moved to the outside and Rahal in reaction had moved to the left, it would clearly have been illegal blocking.
My question was why did O'Ward's team find it necessary to be saving fuel? It was clearly a 2 stop race from the get go. The only thing I can think of is that they didn't have the car full at the start.
Agree that it's a shame that Rossi didn't get a decent shot in F1. I wonder if there's still a chance that Haas will pick him up. I've always liked Grosjean but he simply hasn't been producing much for results.
