    Verizon is there only because Penske got them to throw a bone to Indy car. It's very similar to the old FedEx sponsorship of CART (which Penske also put together). It didn't pay much and they never activated it, but the "PR" of having a "big name" sponsor helped the "status" of the sport.

        People are going to so overreact to this, it's ridiculous.

        Silverstone had to enact the break clause in order to keep their rights and options open under the contract. It's no different than when LeBron James opts out of his contract every year, because he can, and is better off to do so. It doesn't mean he's going to leave.

        This doesn't mean Silverstone is going to leave F1 after 2019. It merely means they can now renegotiate their contract. F1 will not allow the British GP to go away. Worse case, it's moved somewhere else.

          Castroneves is certainly doing his best to stay in the big leagues!

          It's odd Kanaan has all but disappeared.

          Great results at Silverstone, I'm so tired of Vettel and his attitude.

                Bringing this thread back to the top. Pocono coming up in 10 days... leaving next Friday. Pretty freakin excited.

                  Good crowd at gateway.

                  What the hell is wrong with chip ganassi? I know he's kind of an ******* but at pocono there was some weirdness with chilton and tonight they give tk the axe despite the fact he could have possibly assisted his teammates. Something is very. Wrong with that team

                    And pagenaud ****ed at newgarden. This is going to be a nuts end to the season.

                    Great job Conor Daly in 5th. I'd like to see that kid at Andretti asap since Penske won't be hiring and ganassi couldn't care less about American drivers.

                    I'm going to miss helio, tk and Montoya. All can still race at the front but the new kids and economics are pushing them out

                      Not 100% open wheel racing, but just watched an incident that pretty clearly shows my Sage Karim should not get an open wheel ride. At the IMSA race at VIR, he made a few very BS moves on Kathrine Legg- starting with forcing her off the track when she was passing, ending with him brake checking multiple times in a corner letting his team mate by them both very easily.

                      I'd not want to put any money in that fool.

                      So much hope a few years ago, no head to go with the talent. Hope never to see you again in an Indycar, sage.

                        That's too bad🙁
                        I thought sage hadvtalent but you can't lose our head like that and think an open wheel seat will be available or likely.

                          I don't see it moving, but who knows.

                            Did you see the interview with Mick Shank (owner of Legge's car) later on? Man, he ripped into Sage. I love the lines, "He will never drive for my team" and "There's a reason he no longer has a ride in Indy car." Ouch.

                              No, I missed that. But very expected.

                              We left for an event just after Sage served his 60 sec penalty.

                              It's too bad, given how fast he can be.

                                Then you missed Sage's excuses in his interview. It was one for the ages...
