A former Indy 500 winner (in my memory it was Mario Andretti) once said: „there are two types of oval racers - the ones who already have hit the wall, and the ones who are going to hit the wall.“ Congrats, Fernando, you‘ve just stepped up one league.

Before kissing the bricks, you have to kiss the wall. Fernando learned that today.

Indy bites when you least expect it

I barley started following IndyCar last year. So glad I did, this series is amazing. Amazing cars, tracks, and drivers. Alonso crashing shows how tough this really is, not easy. I guess from what I hear even the best Indy drivers have all crashed here though so he can keep his head up!

Change of direction was actually pretty sizeable

The G forces must have been huge on that first hit, I'm also impressed on how well the car held together.

You only know where the limit is if you exceed it. Fernando is a briliant racer and he’ll adjust accordingly.

Must have been the GP2 engines fault.

Thank god that car stayed on the ground otherwise that would’ve been real bad

Honestly looks like a racing sim crash, crazy

Ahh unlucky. Better to happen in practice than the race though.

En esta toma de frente, se ve el error de pilotaje. El que viene por delante, realiza la trayectoria correcta aunque a menos velocidad que Alonso.
