It feels like Shwartzman might enjoy more ovals since he runs a lot better at them.

The series is unwatchable now because it's literally one car dominating, and IndyCar fans say F1 is "boring"...

Utter nonsense. Palou may have won but he didn't dominate, he also didn't win either of the last 2 rounds. Lots of overtaking, many different drivers & teams in contention, divergent strategies - Indy was been very watchable this year.

Nope! He's won 6 of the first 9 races, if that's not dominance, then what it is, outside of Long Beach, Detroit and Gateway and maybe Indy, it's been so easy to predict who will win because it's always Palou and Ganassi, the hybrid clearly hasn't nerfed either of them, it's actually boring even with strategies and full course yellows
 
I agree with Fezzik, it's been a great season this year. What's made the difference is that Palou is in the right place at the right time - the Dixon method of winning - with most winning margins being less than 5 seconds. Dominance is where a driver is 30-50 seconds up the road after 20 laps and never loses the lead.
 
I think the elimination of the GTP program has helped Ganassi find its focus and get the right people in the right spots. Palou beating everyone else on black tires and Dixon somehow converting sweat and sunshine into fuel make this team almost unstoppable.
 
Good win for Pato in Toronto, to follow up last week’s victory in Iowa. Too late sadly to make a proper title challenge but still nice to see.
 
McLaren/O'Ward gets it right and Ganassi doesnt costing Palou in the points in a race filled with different strategies.

Why Fox's buy-in is exactly what IndyCar needed | RACER

Roger Penske was adamant for years that he was not interested in selling any part of Penske Entertainment. But now he has, and the new partnership with Fox could have a massive impact on the IndyCar Series. Marshall Pruett explains why.

Maybe this will convince HRC to stay and the mythical 3rd engine to join. One thing we wont hear are the boys in the booth being critical of race control anymore.
 
Well done Alex. Now please go try something else and let the rest of the field have a chance at victory.
 
Made it to Milwaukee on Sunday, besides the race beeing a snoozer for about 75% of it I can't say enough great things about the day. Easily one of the best experiences I've had at a race track, they did a fantastic job giving it a fair vibe. It's also always cool to witness a first career win in person (in this case 2 since the NXT was also a first time win).

New track layout in Markham, replacing the Toronto race. There's a Honda dealership inside the track, the building beside Turn 6.
