IndyCar on Fox ? Sounds good. Especially if you are an advertiser!! Commercial breaks make it almost unwatchable. Will is doing a good job, has plenty of time to relax between commercials.

I have to say that James Hinchcliffe does a great Job with his F1 interviews. Great insight and very good questions. His IndyCar input is also excellent. Well done my boy.

That weekend certainly cemented Verstappen as one of the greatest ever. Qualifying lap was sublime as was his faultless race, all with an underperforming car.

Ken Squier who would have been 90 today was my first broadcast partner 49 years ago. He encouraged me to apply to CBS to partner him and was a great mentor for 19 years. RIP Ken old chap.

Yet another birthday for an old broadcast pal. Bob Varsha has a birthday today. We spent nearly 20 yrs on the road together for ESPN and Speed Channel. All very enjoyable at the track and off. Happy birthday Bob & many happy returns.🎂🎂🍷

We were a bit unlucky there. I had a 4 Hr stint from 10am until 2pm, wet, dry, wet, so that Jean Pierre would finish. Hill and Pescarolo were leading in the new car we lay 2nd in a year old car for about 12 Hrs. G/box broke with 20 mins to go. Bummer

Quite so!! The Sunoco 512 in 1971 never crashed or broke when I was at the wheel. Always in Marks hands, although all were just most unfortunate.

The chap on the right of the pic looks familiar can’t remember his name. Uniform is right for era 1969 driving for Gulf in GT40. Can’t attest for authenticity

I have to say that James Hinchcliffe does a wonderful job with his driver interviews. Obviously a great observer of track action and a very good listener.
